Day 3: Parlo Italiano

Another great day! Jam and bread and milk for breakfast.

After Alessadra went out to work we did a lot of things at home. Yesterday we bought an English to Italian phrase book so me and Fede used that to teach me Italian and him English whilst the Bea practiced at the piano. Then when she'd finished we all made labels to tape to furniture with the English and Italian words e.g armadio is a wardrobe. 

We also played on the wii, it's very hard when you can't understand the instructions for the game as they are in Italian. It was wii play motion plus, the have some very fun games on it. On one ice cream fell from the sky and you had to catch it on your cone and not let it unbalance, then in another you had to hit moles on the head with a hammer when they popped out of the ground and on another one you had to pick up stones and skim them across the lake as far as possible! I played it with Fede and we had a great time!

We also went on the 'duolingo' app which is great for learning other languages. I use it for Italian and now Bea has it on her phone and Fede on his tablet for learning English. It's a fun app and they are enjoying it. 

Alessadra came back for lunch and cooked us breadcrumbed chicken and salad. After that she had an Arabian language course so we stayed at home and learnt some more English/Italian. Then we went to meet her at the library where it was held, they have English books there in English. Also DVD's which are free to take out! So we borrowed Aladdin and Open Season which is called Boog and Elliot in Italian. 

For tea we had cous cous with tomatoes and cheese it was lovely. Then this orange melon thing which I've never seen before but which was nice. 

A patisserie nearby the flat called Massimo's had a happy hour on for a new cocktail/champagne thing which we all went to - they were serving water as well. And also little pastries and mini pizza things they were nice. I met a lot more people. 

My Italian is slowly improving. I can count in numbers to a hundred and sort of know the days of the week and months of the year! 

Buonanotte!
