I'm doing italian beginners for my hsc 2007, because i want to be a laguage teacher either here or overseas, but im definitely starting to think its not for me...im the only one in my school doing italian so i do it by distance ed and its SO HARD!!! i can remember things, but not as a long term thing, so exam time rolls around and i got nothing! 67% for my prelims, not thaaaat bad, but definite room for improvement considering all my other prelim marks were over 75...im definitely up for some one, especially some one in my year, to email me italiano style...super_ssama@hotmail.com

i`m doing italian in open high school and i have the same problem. it doesnt stick into my head and its all so fast. i`m continually struggling and without a proper teacher, i dont think i can pass. should i consider dropping it in yr12?

coz im in prelim and i get some of it but others i dont...mayb coz i dont study and listen but whatever.
im not sure if i should drop it or drama....im so confused
all the past tenses and futures and direct object pronouns are the height of confusion
any suggestions?
Ciao

ciao,
non è molto più difficile, it just keeps getting harder. we are currently tackling future tense while still trying to figure out how to conjugate verbs properly when you are stuck in the middle of an exam. Worst of all i keep getting marked down for speaking or writing in dialect. ahhh and those stupid situations making me want to tear my hair out!! grr
con collera e confusione,

On another note i did my trial exams today!!

• the listening exam was set in 1995???? If you do Italian through distance ed. Like me... you will benefit from going through sets 47-53 invaluable to your exams!!

• Speaking.... well im not the best at it!! as soon as i opened the paper i knew what i couldnt do!!! dont you just hate those words you look at and go "Nah... i wont need to remember that!!" .... and if your teacher goes through some practice with you for the conversations part note them and learn them all... i screwed up big time!!

• Reading.... wat can i say!!! i was pretty confident untill i got to the questions that are worth the marks..... there was a passage in my exam where it was an ad about a card on " l'autostrade " I got the first paragraph but not the second... which is where the answer was!!!

• Writing..... wholly crap, well ive been so lazy over the last two yrs that my writing skills aint wat they used to be, they aint wat they used to be, aint wat they used to be aint wat they used to be.... opps sorry... yeah they aint that good cause ive slacked off so just write heaps of practise letters!! or dialouges on different situations.... thats also a good idea for speaking!!

Allora, E tutto per ora. Bouna Fortuna per gli esami, Trials ed HSC!!! Arriverderci!!
