vuoi (vuole?) parlare italianese

[Alameda]

please please I beg on my knees

Scusa, I should greet you first. Cioa Annuziata, come va? Grazie for showing me the thread. Will be good to have people to practise on and that I can't see them laughing at me when I pronounce things incorreectly!

Nessun problema! Va bene, grazie! Abitare in italia? Che fortuna!

That might be me going dialect-ally again!

Benvenuta BellaTata!
I thought tata was nanny as well, it's also dialect for auntie in my bit of Italy.

My mum's going to Sicily for a few weeks this November, I'm jealous I haven't been since I was about 12. I wouldn't mind going to Milan either

But really the place I want to go back to in Italy is Gardaland. Has anyone ever been? I love that place

Haha, the DC loved there! Have you been to the waterpark?

The whole lake is lovely too.

Back in the days of dinosaurs you could call your girlfriends 'tata'

Si, io live vicino Milano. Io sono una tata per 3 ragazze. Bellisimo nazione. Getting slightly freddo at notte now, prima giorno con the heating on!

Ciao tutti! The eldest ragazza io look after went in the summer e loved it! I will go myself in the spring!

Oh lovely! I think there are quite a few people on here from around there.

Io sono Italian-Scottish :)

yay someone else to help me with homework who is learning ciao bellatata, benvenuta :) mia figlia was an au pair in Italia (for about venti minutes before she got homesick) she loved italian school though

È nuvoloso and gloomioso oggi, devo pull self together somehow ma molto stanca Again - what is everyone else up to?

Ciao Bellatata, io abito a Milano!

I have just checked the prices for flights to Catania, as I'd really, really NEED only 3 days of Sicily (I was thinking maybe one day by the seaside, and one day at the Gole dell'Alcantara), but it is too expensive for the 4 of us, I left it too long! Uffa.
Prenoterò per le vacanze di Pasqua.

Io oggi sono LIBERA, free as a bird.... Until the school run.
I have just baked a cake! Now I should tidy up, but non ho voglia.

Ciao a tutti!

Posso iscrivermi nel club? Parlo un po' d'italiano, anche se credo che sia un po' arruginito adesso. Non ho usato il mio italiano fra molto tempo.

Non sono in Italia, sono stata un anno in Toscana ed un anno in Sicilia molti anni fa, ma vivo in Grecia adesso.

neanche io non ho voglia, di far nulla oggi, Franca!

Ciao Alameda, sunny but freddo qui oggi. Ragazza a scuola until tre mezza/mezzo?? troppa (molto) fame. Io miss inglese te e worburtons sliced pane!

Ciao ALex! Il tuo italiano mi sembra ottimo!

anche a me, BellaTata! Mi manca il te inglese, sopratutto il te Yorkshire!!

ci provo! Ma e' un po' difficile ricordermi . Di solito parlo il greco tutto il giorno.

Io ho una confezione di PG tips!

Sai che forse si può comprare il te su Amazon???

Le parole per le verdure ed i frutti si assomigliano in italiano ed in greco, mi aiuta a non dimenticare!

ci dovrebbe vendere il te su Amazon!!

Ciao tutti! By the time I've worked out/translated one setence lots of altro people have posted!

Io sono abito venticinque minutes from Milano, futher us sud, quindice minutes from Lake Como.

How long have you lived there, BellaTata? I have never been to Milan. When I was in Italy, I was in Tuscany (where I picked up a few local words) and then in Sicily. Both lovely places!

Si, tante parole italiane vengono dal greco antico!

Bellatata, wow you are in a beautiful area. I live in central Milan, which I love. We lived in the Uk for 8 yrs, until 2007. We didn't pick a great time to move back to Italy . Still, I like it, all my friends/family are here.

Tu cant beat Yorkshire te, io sona una yorkshire ragazza myself! I get to go home in Dicembre so io will bring a box back qui. Io think its the zucchero that makes it taste different.

Tuscany and Sicily are a marvellous part of the world.
I'd like to go to Greece next summer, take the dc to see some ruins, ds will study gli antichi greci this year! I haven't been for ages!

I know the feeling, Franca, this isn't exactly a great time to be in Greece either!

Where did you live in the UK? I haven't been back for about 4 years now.
