I missed the first class because I was out of town and the teacher was nice enough to still allow me in the class. As soon as I arrived there was a quiz...needless to say I had to guess the entire two pages. Still, I think I did ok for not having been in class. For some random reason I have had Italian bosses many times in my life or have worked with Italians. Even though I am not confident making full sentences I understand some words and have an idea of the culture itself.
After the test we learned some numbers and went over how to say "there is" and "there are". I had flashbacks of learning English. Having learned a language in the past helps, because I know the components I am looking for in the language. There is a typical process for learning languages and no matter what language it is, the process seems to always be similar.
I left my first class very satisfied. I am glad I decided to take Italian!
