One of my resolutions this year was to get closer to fluency in Italian. I feel like this semester and the summer will be the timeframes for this to happen. I'm taking two classes in Italian- Pirandello: Theater Practicum and Advanced Language and Composition.
The Pirandello course will be amazing. What better way to better one's italian than reciting and putting feeling into prose? I have a feeling my speaking will better itself immensely over the semester just from being inundated in wonderful speech.
The other course, ITAL 151, is also going to be great-- I get to try my hand at translation and to tackle more academic things within the Italian language. This is exciting, not just because I get to (apparently) be published, but also because this might be what I will be doing for the rest of my life.
It's interesting being amongst other advanced students-- some are behind, some are ahead, and some are at my level; it makes for an interesting group that bubbles in conversation. Italian students are basically awesome.
