To Dream of Italy…
Posted by msterilinn on Mar 1, 2008
My Dream is to visit as many exotic and mysterious places on our beautiful planet as I may before my spirit is ready to travel beyond this earthly realm. I will most certainly be doing my homework before I plan each Adventure, except those spontaneous moments when I simply cannot help myself and must travel upon a whim. Alas, if I wish to visit one of my most favourite places that I have always dreamt of, Italy, I shall have to learn to speak the Italian language for some very good reasons. First of all, one should never enter a foreign country without learning the basics of that countries language at the very minimum. Secondly, to experience your Adventure to its fullest, one will absolutely have many, many questions to ask the locals. Thirdly, it is polite to speak to ones hosts with a confidence and respect for the land and the people who inhabit it. A lack of proper communication would simply take so much away from the entire experience!
I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. Basically, I am so very curious and wouldn’t wish to miss a thing. So when I am ready to manifest my Dream of a visit to Italy, I shall possibly explore an Italian language education website that I found online, to get me going with the basics. Any advice or helpful information forthcoming shall be most welcome!
My advice? Do it! The Italian language is so beautiful, and you’re right, you will get a lot more out of even a short trip if you can express yourself a bit with the locals. In bocca al lupo
Thank you for the visit.. I am just slightly envious after visiting your blog and finding that you live in one of my most favourite countries on the planet! I shall be certain to check back often to get a sense of the beautiful land in Italy.
I would love to go to Italy. I’ve always been fascinated by it. It has so much culture! Thanks for sharing.
