The Italian language sounds poetic and beautiful...

...it's no wonder it's crept in our society's daily lingo, too! The Italian language is made up of words like pizza, lasagna, farfalle, pronto, presto, and of course "al dente"... these are all words that we might not know we already knew!



Growing up, my first language as a child actually WAS Italian.

Both my parents were newly immigrated to the US just before I was born, and the most natural form of communication between them was their native tongue.

Needless to say I picked up on it. And although what I had learned originally was a dialect of true Italian, I did my share of studying the language later on in life during college (where I eventually studied in Rome).

So - ready to learn some Italian that will make your cooking just SOUND good?
