One Week to Go

Hi everyone! So my blog is finally up and running. I thought I should have an initial post explaining why I'm doing this. I'm Monica and I am a General Business student at the Monfort College of Business. I am also a minor in Global Business and Spanish Language. I have just finished my first year at UNC, and I'm excited to get the opportunity to study abroad this early on in my college career.

This summer I will be studying abroad in Trieste, Italy for two months, and I could not be more excited. As mentioned in the title, there is less than one week to go before I say ciao to Colorado for a while. I've been putting most of my efforts into learning Italian as of late, and while I would say that I'm not doing too bad, it's also not great!

Here's what I've got down so far:

Ciao, mi chiamo Monica (Hi, my name is Monica).
Io sono americana (I'm American)
Parla inglese? (Do you speak English?)

I've got a few more phrases and random words, but those phrases are the only ones I'm confident in pulling out in an actual conversation.

Well, that's all for now! I'll try to get in another post before I leave, but if not, arrivederci!
