Molto bene, grazie :biggrin:

io non studio italiano! Mi insegnano a casa :smile:

Well, you said they teach you at home, if thats what you were trying to say? :smile:

If you meant that you teach yourself then it would be "Mi Insegno a casa".

Yeah

I thought it would be a nice addition to Spanish and Portuguese...I love Italy, and always feel a little ignorant when I can't speak to someone in Italian! :redface:

Oh awesome :smile:

Yeah Italy is a lovley place, I feel that way too sometimes, I've been going there every Summer since I was 5, but I still don't speak it as well as I maybe should and I kind of want to change that, that and I love the language anyway.

Ahh impressed with myself that I could understand which languages 10 of the Welcome page 'Hello''s came from :biggrin:

The Japanese version of Hello is weird. I've never heard or seen anyone say that. It literally means "today."

I'm currently learning Japanese ^-^

Yeah a lot of Japanese words/phrases can't be directly translated and have the same literal meaning.

It's crazy, but interesting! :biggrin:

Well I'm higher intermediate Japanese (between JLPT 2 and 1.) I'm currently in class as we speak. I still have never heard "kyou ha" as a greeting.
