Another Mama who is gonna try.. Italiano!!

I would like to introduce you to a Mama who is gonna try!
Bec - has graciously shared her next challenge with us. Bec is a mother of 3 girls, yes she is busy and very happy BUT wanted to do something for herself as well, something that she always thinks about.  
We will be following Bec's story and I have to say I AM EXCITED!

This Mamas Gonna Try... TO LEARN (and eat) ITALIAN(O)!


Right, so now that my wedding is out of the way, (the best wedding ever!) I have sooooo much spare time on my hands.  Ha ha. So I have decided, that in between school runs, kinder pick ups, toddler wrangling, play dates, arts n crafts, gymnastics, swimming, tennis, netball, paid part time work and domestic duties, I am going to master a language!!!  I need mental stimulation, a goal, a ME thing, and once I am fluent (or as close as I can get) I NEED a 2 week trip to Italy, with the kids at home safe and sound with their Dad – a challenge for us all!

Why Italian?  Well, OK I will be honest… I learnt a little at school, practiced a little when in Europe, so I already have the basics.  And now that my 6 year old is studying at School, I can hopefully help her – or more likely she will help me. And I lurve Italian food, I want to eat more, and I love Italys sights and sounds and life and soul, I can’t wait to go back, and I want to have a grown up adventure, so Italy, here I come… eventually…

Incentive – Check
Time – um check
Will power – check
HOW – hmmm, good question! Just how am I going to do this??

To be continued…

    Hi Bec
    Love your story, I'm third week into my Italian lessons and am absolutely loving it! I walk out of the class with a massive smile on my face. I have a great teacher at the CIS language school in Carlton and the best thing about this school is you can go to as many classes a week as you want and can swap and change the days you want to attend, so very flexible for a busy chick like yourself.
    I can't tell you how much fun I'm having just do it!
