Languages

Well, I was SO right about my students...today was C-R-A-Z-Y! I think they have all lost their minds....or it is a full moon. (Seriously, their behavior changes with the moon cycles. I am not kidding.) I felt like an angry teacher all day long.

As far as NaBloPoMo, it is almost over and here is the prompt for today: "If you could instantly know any language in the world, which one would it be?"

I have never been super interested in learning a new language. Mainly, because I sucked at Spanish. I took Spanish for three years. THREE years. All I can recall are the normal #1-20, hola, adios, amigo, bano, etc. I don't speak or understand Spanish at all.

So, if it is could be instant and easy...I would want to know how to speak Italian. I think the language is romantic, sexy, and exotic. Plus I want to visit Italy really badly. It is in the LONG off future since our money has gone and will go to infertility costs.

C'est la vie...ooo another language! Go me!

  2. I love the Italian language! I took a semester of Italian in college but after years of French in high school, Italian just would not stick in my brain. I always found myself answering my Italian teacher in French.... oops.

    Also - I don't know how you deal with middle schoolers! My husband is a middle school teacher as well, and he has a new story every day about his crazy students. He was just showing me their class photo tonight and filling me in on the good kids vs the rotten kids, who likes who, etc. :)
