Great way to start the day...sitting on the balcony, drinking espresso and learning Italian! I decided to start my mornings by sitting out in our backyard and learning a little Italian each day before I go to work. Real classes start soon, but I thought I'd get a head start. It's easy enough to get by speaking English in town because of the international school here, but you really need to know some Italian when you venture outside Duino. Besides, we just want to be able to speak with Italians "in" Italian as soon as possible! It's kind of my job to learn Italian fast because I'll have a little more time than Kristen in our first few months here. I'll be working from home, setting my own schedule (like usual...just in Italy now), but Kristen has already started her new job and has lots to learn (including how to understand all the funny British words for things!).
