favourites genre(s) ?

Should I avoid dialects ? (mostly movies may contains few spoken parts in some dialect
nowadays, but let me know if it might bother you :P )


Dialects are fine. I am curious about them actually.
Genres... well, I love historical stuff. I'm fascinated by the Roman republic and
empire. Science fiction, fantasy, espionage, heist movies (like The Bank Job). Comedies
are fine if they aren't too dumb or obnoxious. I can even watch romantic stuff. I'm
pretty open to anything.



I read the next couple of lessons of Asimil las night.

I listened to Radio 24 at work and I realized something today.
One of the things I love about hearing spoken Italian is that it reminds me of my
grandparents. With my parents I've always spoken a mix of Spanish and English with more
English but with my grandparents I always spoke all Spanish. Italian sounds so similar
it reminds me of them. It sounds more like Spanish to me that Portuguese does.

Its late and I haven't done any studying.

I watched this nice show on the Amalfi coast:

Rick Steves
Europe: Amalfi Coast


My friend has family there. Beautiful place.

I will do some reading in Assimil and/or Easy Italian Reader.

Good, let me suggest this website then ( http://www.lastoriasiamonoi.rai.it/ ) instead of a movie. Hopefully clips haven't been blocked for watchers from abroad. :|

[Many thanks! It works!
Its good for me because I'm very interested in Italian history and very curious of how
Italy recontructed herself after the second world war]


quick update: I've been reading the grammar workbook. I plan to go back and do the
exercises but for now I want to learn the concepts.
