Ciao tutti! Mi chiamo Jenne.
I was on the forum before it changed, but I don't get to post much. I am now a graduate student studying library science and working two jobs. I'm married with two kids. Normally, I would try to post in Italian, but I'm stealing time from studying and don't have time to translate right now. I thought I would say hi anyway.
I have a new favorite phrase in Italian: Hai scoperto l'America! It makes me laugh every time I see it.

Ciao Jenne! Parlaci un po' di te, io sono nuovo e non ti conosco. Where are you from?

Hi Jenne, and welcome back to the forum!
Mamma mia, due lavori, un marito, due bambini, e studi per il tuo Masters? Pensavo che io avessi tanto da fare!
Scrivi un po' di piu' quando puoi. Perche' studi l'italiano? Sei di origine italiana?
Claudietto - per spiegare meglio.....ho avuto problemi tecnici con questo forum in settembre l'anno scorso, ed abbiamo perso tutti i dati dei nostri iscritti. Tutti dovevano ri-iscriversi quando sono riuscita a rilanciare il sito. Jenne era una degli iscritti originali!

Ciao Claudietto! Abito in Missouri, ma ho abitato in Italia per sei anni. Era nove anni fa. Non posso parlare italiano con nessuno allora. Cosi', devo studiare solo con il computer e le cassette. Mio figlio e nato in Italia.
Il mio italiano e molto male. Devo esercitarsi, ma non ho tempo. Che peccato!
Ciao Mindy! Sono contenta questo forum e qui! Grazie!

Ciao Nicole ma una domanda: che cosa hai studiato alla universita'?nicadoo wrote:Un po' di storia: Mi stavo specializzando nella musica classica all'universita' quando ho preso la mia prima lezione in italiano. Mi e' piacuta cosi' tanto la lingua che ho deciso di specializzarmi in italiano invece della musica classica!
Hai scritto della tua specializzazione: [Mi stavo specializzando nella musica classica all'universita'] e dopo hai scritto [ho deciso di specializzarmi in italiano]. Ti hai laureato in "lingua italiana"?
Benvenuta al forum.
A presto,
Angel

Different Dialects
Hello, I'm Diana DeLash. I have family in Grumento Nova, Potenza, Basilicata and I have been in contact with them the last three years. Although my Italian is improving, I still have problems because of dialect. There is also different levels of education. If I can hear from those who are familiar with this area, it would be wonderful! Diana

Have you ever been to Italy to visit your family? Are you taking Italian lessons?
A presto!

Ciao! Mi chiamo Joann (or Giovanna- my Italian alter ego)
I found this site from the slowtrav.com website. I went to Italy in 1998 and 2003 and absolutely loved it. My husband's family is from Calabria and my maternal grandmother's family came from Sicily. I'm still working on finding my relatives. My mom and I are taking Italian lessons from Curzio Caravati in Kenosha, WI http://www.wisitalia.org. We have so much fun in his class. I am also listening to Pimsleur in my car. I love this site - it's fun trying to figure out what everyone is writing in Italian. Hope to visit Italy again soon -
A presto?

Dialects
Hi Mindy and everybody, Thank you for your reply. I've been to Italy to meet my family. I keep telling them I am returning again soon but it hasn't worked out yet. I'm studying Italian with great websites like this one and I also have an Italian tv station I receive with satellite. Sometimes I feel I am learning on thing but my family speaks another way! I am also able to email one of my cousins. It's great to be able to stay in touch. Diana
