Re: Italian Notes - question

Dior,
having completed french and receiving straight A+'s for ALL oral assessments(which was my specialty), i would advise u to practice speaking in italian to the smartest and most reliable person u know- yourself.

Yes, i know, u look like a dickhead speaking to urself in a foreign language, however, this method of practicing for oral:

-Boosts confidence
-Improves pronunciation
-Habituates you to the sound of your own voice in a foreign language
-Assists in memorising basic and complex grammatical constructions (Ur more likely to memorise something if you say it rather than just think it)
-Teaches you to rephrase if you do not know the vocab or grammar necessary to say a given sentence.
-Saves time (beats writing out a huge script)

Just make sure u have a grammar book on the redy when you speak in italian so u can confer with it when ur not sure about a given construction.

Good luck bella
