Too little time for learning Italian.

No doubt, it’s easier living in an English-speaking country than in Italy. At least it makes communication easier. For me. But easier is not necessarily the most desirable thing. Living in Italy, particularly Sardinia, is a pleasure. I like the people. And the weather. And the scenery. I manage just fine. Especially since my Italian true love speaks English. Therefore, I’m talking English every day. And learning some Italian. If I weren’t so lazy, I’d learn Italian much faster. I’d be better focused. On truly learning. I’m really not a lazy guy. It’s just that I spend the bulk of my time writing and walking and biking and reading and thinking and loving and dreaming. Leaves too little time for learning the Italian language. –Jim Broede
