What I really, really want is the next part of Rosetta Stone Italian program. Finally, something that I have been able to use to bring Italian back to me!

Like so many immigrant families that were part of the 1920's influx into the US, my grandparents and my parents would not allow us to respond to them in Italian- had to speak English- so that they learned it. So, even though I have a history with many speaking other languages around me (one Grandpa spoke 5 languages), it never settled in well. Even with taking Spanish in school (both Latin rooted languages). I suck! When in Mexico, I have always had some looks telling me my Spanish stinks and the same from other family members that have visited from Italy.

What is very strange is that I have had dreams throughout my life where people are always speaking Italian.

Anyway- this program plus handy-dandy online translators is helping me get where I want to go! Have no talent for languages at all.
