STILL in Sorrento!
I’m still in Sorrento, we had a really interesting week this week. Some new students from the UK arrived so my school organised a pizza party for us all. Have you ever eaten a true Neapolitan pizza? They are SO much nicer than a pizza you can buy at home. REALLY tasty with lots of Mozzarella cheese and fresh tomatoes! My new friends really enjoyed it and it was such a good way to introduce the new students to the school. Oh and we also visited the volcano Vesuvio, an incredible view from the top and lunch in a nearby farmhouse, my Italian course is turning into a gastronomic tour!
But seriously, travelling around is such a good way to practice what you have learnt. I can now ask for tickets for transport, I can understand basic directions and I m meeting the true Italians who make you realise that a language has a living cultural aspect to it which is difficult to grasp when you just have lessons.
But and a BIG but, if it weren’t for my fantastic teachers at the school I would still be stuck in the dark ages when it comes to forming a sentence! I imagined that learning a language in later life would be hellish, but my course is fun, stimulating and has helped me to understand that you can learn a language at any age as long as you have patient and intelligent teachers that are full of encouragement.
This weekend there was a Ferrari completely made out of chocolate. It was so big that it is going in the Guinness book of records. Sorrento ALWAYS has something happening, all year round! Just think, we are now in February and Sorrento is entering the Big Book, can’t wait to see what they will do in the summer!
Un grande bacio da Sorrento, and now back to my BOOKS!

Hi Lisa! I have tried Neapolitan pizza in Italy and it far surpasses anything I have tried in the U.S.! Good luck with the rest of your course, and I hope you’re having fun 🙂
I must say italian pizzas are the best!No doubt about it!!!
