So, it is the third day of class and we are a movin and a groovin in my Italiano class. We are starting to do our culture classes as well. The only thing I don't like about the culture classes is the homework. haha. After our normal classes there was an optional ASL class. 4 of us took it and it was really fun! Next week the Italian sign language classes start, so there will be many kids who are deaf or hearing who will be learning. It is so much fun to try and figure out what the hand motions mean. We are learning the basics so that we can interact and try and converse with them when they arrive. It is a really neat culture to learn about, and nothing like what you would think. The teacher did not talk to us at all, only used sign language and wrote things on the board. It is easier to pick up on than I thought it would be! I would not mind making sign language my fourth language.

P.s. I officially do not want to come home. The food is so good I just canNOT imagine eating American food ever again. ahhhh. Really nothing compares to the food here. There is nothing to complain about Italy. They even have dog parks!!

  2. It all sounds really wonderful! I took an ASL class, but I can't imagine signing in another language. Your pictures look great and the food sounds really inviting. You will have to come home, but learn how to cook Italiano style first. No hint of missing home....?
    Ciao for Now, Grandma Karen

  3. Lauren, now you sound just like your Mother. She always says "I'm not going home, you can't make me go home." Glad you're having fun learning. Miss you, Grandma
