Anyone here speak Italian?

[Kat Kanning]

Kira's going to be trying learn Italian starting this year.  I just thought perhaps there was someone here to practice with?

No Italian... sorry, but there is a Beginners Gaelic Class I will be taking in Manchester this fall.

I cook some good spaghetti! 

When I lived in Germany, I learned just enough Italian to order *waaaay* too much good food and wine at my favorite little Italian restaurant.

Italian is my favorite of the Romance languages. It's far more beautiful than French. (I quit French after a half semester.)

I enjoy languages, even though I don't have much chance to practice. I used to be fairly fluent in German; I guess I could still make my way about the country without embarassing myself too much. Tourist Italian, as I said, and just enough Russian to confuse the hell out a Rooskie border guard at Checkpoint Alpha (I could tell by the confused look on his face that he knew I was speaking Russian, but he had no idea what I was saying).

And of course, dealing with immigration cases in Texas, I can get by in Spanish. The trouble here is, we've got Mexicans, Tex-Mex, Cubans, Hondurans, and Colombians. The dialects and differences can be overwhelming. I've seen a Cuban and a guy from Nuevo Laredo speaking English as their lingua franca.

I'd check for foreign students at the college. You might have some luck there.

Je ne comprends pas l"Italien. Parlez vous en Francais?

Keep looking, Kat.  I have met a LOT of people of Italian descent in NH, though it has been on the Hwy 3 corridor.  Lots in MA, too.  There must be some who are friendly, and have been interested in learning the mother toungue.

YET!
