I am studying Italian so that I can pass the test for citizenship. My husband has applied, and eventually I also hope to gain citizenship. Also, I have family in the province of Abruzzo, where my grandfather was from. Many of them do not speak English, so I want to be able to speak with them. We visit Italy often, and plan to spend more time there. We are both in our 60s and retired. I am a historian and my husband is an engineer.
I enjoy travel, and recently returned from spending three months in Italy. I also am an avid reader and gardener, love museums, art history, and animals, especially our cats.
I am a lower, intermediate Italian speaker. I am just learning the Passato Prossimo tense. It is not easy for me learning Italian. I take a class one hour a week. My teacher says I need to practice speaking more, so I hope to do that in this forum. I am happy to help someone with their English skills in exchange for helping me with my Italian.
Grazie mille.
