travel through words
08Aug08
As much as I love exploring the fabulous words that the English language has to offer, I decided to take a lingual trip to Italy via Rosetta Stone. I’m only in the beginning stages of colors and numbers, but am enjoying the thrill of playing with new words. I am really looking forward to conversing in Spanish and Italian, and truly becoming a multilingual lady!
Are you learning a new language this summer?

I love playing with words from different languages! One of my favorite things about other languages is realizing the number of words and phrases that we use in our society that have come from elsewhere. When we (in the U.S.) say things like “bon apetite” (spelling, sorry!) or “mangia” we say them kind of as fun phrases that we just kind of throw into our conversation. However, when you travel to those countries, you realize that they are actually used in every day conversation! I also love looking at the words written (for instance on a menu) and being able to at least somewhat decipher it from the Latin roots.
