So, my latest eBay purchase arrived today...Rosetta Stone Levels 1-5 Italiano. I decided it was probably best to jump right in and get started.
Lesson 1 included some basic vocabulary through picture recognition and they have you repeat things in your microphone...and, they definitely let you know when you're wrong, because you have to do it or say it until you get it right! It did seem really fast with all the vocabulary and conjugations for different pronouns, but I'm sure there's more exposure to come.
But, it was FUN!

And the packing and sorting begins...
So, since being offered a teaching position in Milan, Italy a week and a half ago, I have jumped into the packing and sorting process. Right now it's exciting and I know that by the time August rolls around I will no longer be interested in doing anything of the sort. I've already packed my one collectible, the Pen Delfin bunnies I've collected since I was eight, and sorted through the Stampin' Up stamps sets and began listing them on eBay. It's exciting that some of them already have bids and hopefully I can earn a little money to put towards having some fun in Milan!
