In our preparation moving to My Lucca my wife and I started
in January with Italian lessons. At ICCC her in Houston (Italian Culture and Community Centre) we got ourselves a great teacher. Daniel Cooper who took his
masters in Florence. He guides us in to the challenging language. When I have some
time I also use Rosetta Stone on my computer, and those two in combination make
me understand. In addition I feel it is a question of
practicing and we will be able to at least have some minor conversation other
than just manage ordering the food at the restaurants.
The ICCC is not only holding Italian lessons but all from
wine tasting and cooking classes (for both adults and children), to showing Italian movies and in general
presenting the large variety of Italian culture.
Festa Italiana
In one way it is our Italian hideaway in Houston every
Tuesday as we have our classes with Daniel.
In addition to our classes and study material we
have a great dictionary. I am all for visualizations and that is what we got in
this dictionary.
The grammar can at
times be a challenge, but as we are two and my wife is an ex teacher from years
back, and have a brain that remember more than what I can, we are an excellent
combination. I pick up more words and she the grammar.
We better be prepared as the guys at Hotel Ilaria will challenge
us as we arrive July 5th.
