It doesn't have to be out loud, but for instance, when you're thinking of what you have to do today..."MMM...devo andare al negozio...e che cosa mi serve? Ho bisogno di..." Etc. <BR/><BR/>I actually talk to myself all the time in Italian now as it's become automatic. It'll get there!

I do dream in Italian though, but I have no clue if I am talking 100% correctly, yet I understand everything. Basically how it is in real life. I hope one day something clicks and it gets easier. I don't want to sound like a 3 year old forever.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151742557993893858noreply@blogger.com
