I have not heard Italian spoken in my family in 20+ years. I miss it so much that I just began taking lessons in Manhattan one night a week. It's much tougher when you are older. I miss it too. My high school required Latin and French in the cp track. Latin remains the most useful oddly enough. Foreign language instruction back then was mostly text based instead of speaking ability. And because I'm fascinated by the sound of Yiddish, I probably know more Yiddish expressions than Italian. I've been tempted by Rosetta Stone lessons in Italian. They're touted as #1 among corporate in-service programs. Anyone have any experience with them. Price sounds steep, but could be because it's an effective program America is what it is because of immigrants and their semi-assimilation. That never changed. Very cool concept: semi-assimilation. So I'm off to buy from Geraldine at Nino's. **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489
