It is official! I'll be back in Bologna the end of May 2010. I am booked for three weeks of private Italian language classes. I will be in an apartment in a city I love that has fabulous food. Since Brad will not be with me, there will be no excuses for speaking English. I will be forced to put my skills to use, and have daily lessons and practice. I better start NOW, reviewing what I do know!
Brad and I will return later in the year for our vacation to Italy.

Good for you! You will love it and there's no better way to work on the language. Going to school on my own with no one to speak to in English really improved my comprehension-I still struggle with speaking though! Which school?

Wow, Palma, congratulations! That sounds fantastic. I've found, learning French, that the most progess has come when I've been immersed in a community and forced to use the language all the time.
I'll be v. curious to hear more about the program and your plans!

Molto bene! I'd love to hear more. You must do a food market tour while you're there.

You'll be living my dream! I'm so thrilled for you and I will be anxious to hear how you feel about the language program. That's really a dream come true!

I am also jealous! I've never been to Bologna, so I would love doing that too.
