Avere i grilli per la testa

Since I had the first taste of the Italian language in the fifth grade (which is just as tasty as Italian food, I promise), I’ve had the desire to travel the world and meet people to whom words like “piacere” and “bellissima” are commonplace and ordinary. I don’t think it dawned on me in such literal terms, but the idea was always there that if they knew a whole set of words I had never heard before, there might be a few other things they could show me as well. It turned out to be true— I love the Italian language and culture and in particular the emphasis on family, art and the simple pleasures in life. I travel to Italy whenever I get the chance, but more than that, I learned how to surround myself with Italian, even at home, and use those skills and resources to teach myself Italian that I am then able to put into practice in Italy. It's my hope and wish that I can show you how to do the same and open up the beautiful world of Italy and the Italian people to you! I hope to create a real community of Italophiles, and I invite you to comment and share your stories, or even just say "Ciao!"
