vuoi (vuole?) parlare italianese

[Alameda]

please please I beg on my knees

buone sera consils, ti e piaciuto studiare con Michel thomas? Chi e?

Ciao a tutti!

Flights are a nightmare to be honest, none from Scotland afaik. Normally we go via London and then drive down. We use BA, it's not ideal, but we can get the airmiles/ points things (especially because there are so many of us!) which helps.

Ciao ragazze!
Alameda, stai meglio?
Vorrei andare in Sicilia per il weekend dei Mortu, ma credo che ormai sia troppo caro prenotare...
Quando parti, Al?

Morti

Oooh, frutta martona from the morticieddi! Yummy.

Si grazie Franca and ciao all! 27th ottobre >> Milan 29th >>> Catania! Hooray

am bit cross about the flights as Alitalia have cancelled my return flight so now am flying out of gatwick and back to heathrow grrrrrrrrr is really unhelpful of them!

Oooh sodding Alitalia! Awww catania, we ate in a loely trattoria this summer, mind you Alameda the highlight were frutti di mare!!! Oooooh I miss Sicily.

Alameda you'll be there for Ognissanti!!! Get the frutta martona e ossi di morti, amazing!!!

How do you pronounce vuole?

I badly wanted mia sorella to come because she loves frutti di mare and could have guided me through - she might still, is going to sleep on it and let me know. Actually is one night with friend in Milan then Catania (then Siracusa please let there be frequent trains)

I kind of do want to go alone too though, in some ways, is nice to please yourself isn't it!

Ciao raven, that is a question for the italiani isn't it but I say 'vwo-lay'

Ciao, Raven! My very bad attempt at writing it down is like vole with a y. So voleh.

Either will it will be brilliant, Alameda! You must dimmi tutti when you come back!

vwolay par-lah-ray Italia-nay-zay/ee?

voo-oh-lay?

venga con me mia amica siciliana!

Who knows, I have the oddest talian out!

God I would be there in a shot if

a) I could get time off work (ha)
b) DH wasn't incapable
c) mie suocera wouldn't kill me for leaving her darling
c) the DC, I had to separate them tonight because DS1 (22. 22 YEARS OLD) went to McDonalds with DD2, stole her toy cannon from her happy meal and proceeded to spend the evening shooting the cannon at everyone, leading to a fight in my bloody living room)

Vu as the french vous
O as omega
Le as noooo idea!

Bit of a rant there. Mi diaspiace

A, B, C, D, Annunziata! Boh.

Rant? Ma nooo! A good Italian always rants and is proud of it.shall I start?

Go for it!

hahahaha al a b c c

I would trust the dog to do a better job of babysitting than my 20yo, she is lovely but either her or the 13 yo or both would come to a terrible end if left alone? So I know I know!

I actually hate saying vuole (and vorrei) more than any other word except 'gli' (my jaw is just too static for that)

goodie, ranting italiani!

will take notes :)

I'm here! Thanks for the link! Only know very basic Italian so I'll have a flick through the pages and try and keep up!

Ciao BellaTata!

Do they still use tata as cutie or whatever? Is that ancient?

I am under the impression that bella is beauty and tata is nanny, as in... io sono una tata. That may be completely wrong with masc/fem endings etc. I start my course on Monday so hopefully I will pick it up quickly.
