Ho letto "Un' estate al mare"

Finally I have read my first book in Italian that were not for kids or specially made for foreigners. I don't know if its a great victory, but it feels like a milestone been have passed. And that's nice. As I mentioned yesterday, its not great literature, but I was entertained, even if I am a bit afraid that the story that I understood was also partly from my own imagination, and not from a complete understanding.

Either way I have been forced to read Italian for some time now, since I have to study and learn a large pile of specifications written in Italian at work.





Now the next "reading" goal is to read a Umberto Eco book, which is said to be very high level Italian. And also mostly written in grammatical time, which is not really used in the spoken language anymore. But I think I will take a few "lower level" books first.

Tomorrow its "Festa della liberazione" liberation day, and therefore a holiday. It marks the day when "Nazi occupation army leaves Northern Italy after a general partisan insurrection by the Italian resistance movement."(link)

Right now, I just heard somebody jam their breaks, and people starting to shout down on the street.. So I better go and look out the window.

The picture above has nothing to do with any of it, just one I took passing the Colosseum in a bus the other day.
