  1. "The Way It Used to Be" is a song recorded by #EngelbertHumperdinck, which was released on the album Engelbert and as a single in 1969. It is an English language adaptation of the #ItalianLanguage song "Melodia", which was originally released by Isabella Iannetti in 1968. The song was a top ten hit in multiple countries, and spent 14 weeks on the #UKSinglesChart, peaking at No. 3, while reaching No. 1 in #Flanders and Singapore, No. 3 in Malaysia, No. 5 in #Yugoslavia.

  2. 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
