Italian Class #2
I think Shana was right—Italian is fairly intuitive. I can amazed at how much more I can understand and do in just one week. The instructor said it is normal to be confused for about two months and then . . . presto! I believe I might really be able to learn this language!
Some fun phrases for the day:
Che sbaglio! (What a mistake!)
E’ strano! (Strange!)
Ci sono. (I’ve got it.)
Certo. (Certainly)
Madonna mia! Or Mama mia! (Good grief!)
E’ pazzesco’! (It’s crazy, incredible!)
Noi siamo in confusione. (I’m in a confused state.)
Sono confusa. (I’m confused)
Que scemo! (How stupid!)

Che sbaglio! (What a mistake!)
The one I love to hear the instructor say after a long explanation which was about as clear as mud :
Non può sbagliarsi! (One can't go wrong!)
It is equivalent to my physics prof saying :
"It should be intuitively obvious to the most casual of observers."
One neat thing about Che sbaglio! is it gives you practice with two new phonetic sounds, sba & gli.
So work on that one, it will pay dividends.
