  4. Can anyone express an informed opinion about some new / great ways for a Canadian to learn some Italian? I used Rosetta Stone many years ago for some very basic "tourist Italian", but would like to prepare a little more for an upcoming trip. It seems Babbel is the leader these days, but I wonder if there's something hiding in the bushes. I should add-- it really needs to be self paced, and I don't want to mess around with free approaches (I'm too old to figure some of that out, or risk getting something wrong), so DuoLingo may not be an option (but I might be convinced). #italianlanguage #languagelearning #languages #babbel #rosettastone #duolingo

    One #publicDomain item that is a "new" reference for our #wiki is "Dialogo de’ giuochi che vegghie sanesi si usano di fare" by Girolamo Bargagli (1581).

    It presents games played in a Sienese society, and includes some musical fun with pretending the sounds of instruments or animals.

    The full #Italian #book is available on @internetarchive:

  6. The Venetian Language

    The now almost extinct Venetian language was once widely spoken around Europe, and some Venetian words have survived.

  7. The trouble with language learning apps is their rigid adherence to the answer they’re looking for. Not accepting a perfectly correct answer or asking a question that doesn’t want the answer precisely as the question asked is a real bugbear. I’m enjoying using #Busuu but sometimes I lose patience with it’s lack of flexibility and ambiguity. #italianlanguage

  8. I’m trying to learn #ItalianLanguage with #duolingo.

    This is nuts!

    “Italians travel directly into (in) a country, region, or large island,
    but to (a) a city, town, or small island.”
