Our families together for Christmas in Canada one year.
I never got the chance to officially share how excited I was to take part in this guest post thought up by Melissa of the fabulous blog Studentessa Matta. She has been collecting stories from fellow readers and Italian-learners answering the why behind learning Italian. Some of the past guests' posts have made me laugh, others made me cry. There are a myriad of motives why we learn la bella lingua and finally I found time to write up mine, here is a snippet:
"I can pinpoint the moment when I made a promise to myself to learn and not just learn, but love Italian. It was when I came to Italy the first time after my now-husband had moved back. I stayed with his parents who didn’t speak a word of English (still true to this day). What I felt during this stay was not shame or embarrassment or frustration even…no, it was a sense of wonderment and of curiosity."
