Hello Everybody! How are you all doing today?
Welcome to my new travel post!
Welcome to another Travel Language Guide Post! It has been a while since the last time I took a language lesson. And I’ve been itching to go back to it. I can’t decide if I want to practice French or Italian. Not both at the same time. It is not a good idea. It will be confusing and I will end up using the wrong words and switching between languages. But that doesn’t stop me from trying again though.
Italian was the first language that I started practicing. But then I stopped and started practicing French and then German. The point is that I’ve stopped and now I want to start again. I still remember a few words. It was so handy when it came to translating my lists. Even though I use an online translator, there were words that didn’t sit right with me.
So here are phrases and words translated from English to Italian:
- Spoon: Cucchiaio
- Knife: Coltello

Why do I want to learn Italian? Because I want to travel to Italy someday and speak as the locals do. Ever since I took an art history class, I’ve been wanting to visit Florence. But I know I wouldn’t survive if I don’t know a bit of the language myself. And I know people out there would be feeling the same too. So I created a list of words and phrases to use when you are traveling in a country with a different language. After that, I made more and more translations. My biggest challenge would be translating Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian. But I took that challenge upon myself to make it happen someday.
Life is almost going back to its usual self before 2020 happens. I recently found out that traveling to Europe is possible. And I can’t wait and make that happen. I can’t even decide where to go first. I am not rich enough to go everywhere at once. My plan is to take one place at a time. So it is a big decision to make where to visit first. Don’t worry I’ll figure something out.
So there you have it! A new Travel Language Guide post. This is part 3, so there are three more to go. I don’t know when but I do plan to start practicing soon. Not so long ago, I found out you can now practice Japanese on Duolingo. I want to try that one too. But first, let’s finish what I’ve started before jumping to another language class. So far I am signed up in French, Italian, German, Catalan, and Spanish lessons. None of them are complete.
So please wish me good luck and I hope this becomes useful.
Do not forget to give me a visit at The Senspirational ArtRoom. All I need is your support and you can do so by going to my Patreon page. Or go to see my older drawings at DeviantArt. There are also many other sites that I am currently active in. Never forget to add me on Facebook, Twitch, Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest. Well, I’ll leave now. Be nice to others and have a nice day!
See you all later and take care,
