Since I’ve been back, I have started learning Italian.  I bought an old Berlitz book, and am working my way through “instant conversation in a taxi” and “forms of the verb essere,” but almost every day I  end up learning a fabulous new vocab word.

Each day I’ll post the best word I’ve learned and use it in a sentence.  You get to figure out what it means.  I promise it will be entertaining.  I suggest using Google translate or something similar.

Enjoy!
