A Sicilian grandmother is talking to her grand d aughter who lives in the U.K. The old Italian woman is speaking in Sicilian and the kid doesn’t understand a word and responds to her grandmother in gibberish trying to imitate her sound. The little girl doesn’t speak Sicilian or Italian but she wants to give it a try in a funny way. Is n’t language fantastic? How s imilar is this kid’s behavior to ou r method of learning Italian ? We should all emulate this kid’s spirit in our classes. Welcome to our 2016 Winter session!
