The LOL Gatto says, “Né can né gatto mai s’affogan pur che vedan la ripa” or, translated from creole Italian, “No cat ever drowned that saw the shore first.” You all know what is ahead – all you need to do is to prepare for the assessment, practice the vocabulary and to always expose yourself to the Italian language. The LOL Gatto says you should RAID your way to Italian language success!
Rubare. Steal Nonna/nonno’s Il Globo. Practice your understanding in the Prima Piano pages about Australian News. Make sure they have finished with the necrologia first.
Ascoltare. On SBS – Telegiornale or Telediario. Go to SBS on Demand and treat yourself to the Italian news and sport. Eavesdrop on your relatives.
Inviare. Email an Italian speaking friend or a classmate and ONLY write in Italian. Use this blog to practice your interrogatives.
Discorso. In language learning, there are two basic facts: (a) if you don’t use it, you will lose it; and, (b) all language proficiency increases with just one.
