Ciao,
Sono Molly la Gatta. Molly the Cat, I am, to the rest of you.
Missus Lady said if I wanted to write Monday posts, have at it. Quindi eccomi qui. So here I be. For as long as I want, I shall be Monday's guest blogger on The View from the Top of the Ladder. (It's time for a new name, agree?)
Meow. Or, should you prefer, miao.
Have you read any Italian words so far? Sorry. Scusa. That's the Missus Lady inserting Italian words as I dictate to her.
Missus Lady is learning Italian in a very disorderly way. Does she sign up for a class or listen to tapes? No (same in Italian, by the way a proposito, lo stresso in Italiano). When she remembers she wants to learn Italian, she finds an online translator thing and keys in English phrases. Then she says the Italian version a few times, causing Hero Man, should he be in the office, to ask, "What are you saying over there?"
Hero Man is learning Italian, too, but he waits until the Missus Lady tells him what words she learned. "Ecco qua," she may say to which he usually asks, "What does that mean?" "There you go." "Ecco qua," Hero Man repeats, eventually.
Ecco qua.
See you next Monday. Ci vediamo lunedi prossimo.
Stop that, Missus Lady!
Ciao,
Molly la Gatta
Marvelous Molly! - Italian . . Golly, you can do everything.
ReplyDeleteI feel smarter just because you're my friend.
You are a good friend, G. Sei una buona amica, G. There goes that Missus Lady again.
DeleteI think the best way to learn a language is probably to go and immerse yourself in the culture. You know, go to Italy and live there for a while ;)
ReplyDeleteThey have to bring me, if they do. Purrrrrrrrrrr.
DeleteGrazie, Adam. Purrrrrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteMolto bene, Molly. :)
ReplyDeleteYou, too, Widders with the Italian. I suppose that's one way for the Missus Lady to learn. Miao.
DeleteMolly seems to be loving the Italian style and way.
ReplyDeleteShe's like the Mama was. Begrudgingly enjoying life. :-)

ReplyDeleteBel lavoro Molly.
Miao. Thank you, Sally. Miao, Missus Lady, you said you wouldn't translate.
DeleteWow impari l'italiano ! Io, sono un po 'arrugginito, non parlo molto! Di tanto in tanto al telefono con mia nipote
ReplyDeleteMiao, miao. Gattina, you got Missus Lady all excited, waiting impatiently for me to get off the computer so she can translate what you wrote.
DeleteI just stopped by. Your posts are quite interesting. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by from Missus Lady and me.
DeleteSo much fun :) :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best to continue writing such interesting stories.
