Man of Roma writes a thoughtful blog. And he writes it very well, in my not so humble (see previous post) opinion. I wish I could write in Italian as well as he writes in English. One day, one day.
He even knew Montezemolo and says he is a good chap. This is interesting because it goes some way towards confirming my media developed opinion of Montezemolo.
Stop reading, start speaking
Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.
Moving back to Man of Roma, he should be regarded as a shining example of just how well an Italian, or any other nationality for that matter, can learn another language. And I shall use his blog, and that of Rod – the Wind Rose Hotel blogger – to inspire all of those students of mine who think they are just not up to the job.
“Rubbish”, I shall retort, when I hear the ‘I’ll never learn English’ comments – just look at Man of Roma and Rob’s blogs. You can do it!
Yet more reasons why Italy can pull itself out of the mire.
