Well done everyone who has had a go at my quiz so far. Perhaps it was a bit harder than I thought, however all the answers can be found on the internet. They are not neccessarily useful words, but they show how much fun it can be learning a language which uses so many vowels!
I will post all the answers very soon.

A presto, Serena

I do not know enough Italian to write this il la bella lingua; however, I want to thank you for writing your blogs. I particularly enjoy the blending of Italian with English, and the wealth of information that can be acquired only by speaking with a native. It’s much like having an Italian friend willing to share glimpses of life in Italy. My wife and I have visited Italy once and I want so much to return with language skills that will permit me to converse with those who live in San Bartolomeo in Galdo, the home of my grandparents. Grazie di nuovo.
