Re: TALK THE TALK. ITALIAN LANGUAGE QUESTIONS.

Thanks :D I haven't made them yet (my 2 jars of mincemeat are coming tomorrow), but it'll be nice to offer my neighbours something different and something that hopefully they'll like.

Re: TALK THE TALK. ITALIAN LANGUAGE QUESTIONS.

Re: TALK THE TALK. ITALIAN LANGUAGE QUESTIONS.

The other night on Affari Tuoi, someone won 1 kg of Farro. I couldn't find any translation apart from 'spelled' which doesn't make any sense. What is Farro - what did she actually win? :confused:

Re: TALK THE TALK. ITALIAN LANGUAGE QUESTIONS.

Our Italiano classes have always been grammar based and at first it was really hard, not to say frustrating because whilst we could change single into plurals, recognise regular and irregular verbs...

Re: TALK THE TALK. ITALIAN LANGUAGE QUESTIONS.

Thanks Lorna

This is what we thought - that Italians seem to use anticipate more to say 'in advance' or 'to bring forward' rather than to expect something in the future.

Re: TALK THE TALK. ITALIAN LANGUAGE QUESTIONS.

Re: TALK THE TALK. ITALIAN LANGUAGE QUESTIONS.

Hi Indiebird
