I used to be almost fluent in Spanish. I took 6 years of it between junior high and high school and now it is sort of sad that I can’t put sentences together very well. When I went to Spain in the spring I was surprised by how much came back to me. I had been talking about taking a Spanish class for years, but I didn’t get around to it. Well I vowed that before going to Italy this year I was going to take Italian and learn some of the basics. I had been looking into a class for a couple of months but hadn’t committed to anything. Then one day in my Daily Candy email, I found a special deal for foreign language classes at Idlewild Bookstore (a bookstore dedicated to all things about travel). I felt it was a sign and I registered for Italian.
The class was fantastic. It was a small class, it takes place in the back of the store and my teacher was Italian. They offer classes in Italian, Spanish & French with classes in all levels from beginning to advanced. It is a great way to learn a new language. You get a lot of individual attention with the focus being on speaking the language. If you have ever wanted to take a language class and have been putting it off like me, stop procrastinating and sign up! It will be some of the most fun you have had in a long time. Maybe I will see you there. (25% off for early registration)
