Come si dice?



Scusatemi, `e questo it tuo paese?  Excuse me, is this your town?

Si. Questo `e il mio paese, sulla sponda del Lago Garrison, veduto dalla spiaggia. 
Yes. This is my town on the lake shore of Lake Garrison, seen from the beach.

Grazie. Thanks.

Prego. You're welcome.

Non c`e di che! No need to thank me.

Per piacere, mi potete aiutare, sono perduta? If you please, could you help me, I am lost.

Posso? May I?

Dov`e ? Where is...?

Dove si puo mangiare un bel piatto di pesce? Where  can one eat a great fish meal?

Non comprendo. I don't understand.

Come si dice? How do you say?

Non `e importante. It's not important.

Non c`e niente di male. There is nothing wrong.

Ho bisogno di... I need...

How do you say, I don't speak Italian?  Come si dice, non parlo italiano?

  2. That's right, Rosaria, this works both ways. You could also call it English for beginners.

    How cool.

    I'm working on yet ANOTHER blog, I'll invite you to peruse it before I launch so I can get your expert advice and your hard honest opinion. It has to do with children...

  3. Hi Amalia, Si. Questo puo essere English for beginners.

    Lola--You are on a comet, dearest. This is your time to shine. I'm so impressed with your talent, your learning, your rich vocabulary in both languages. What a treasure you are.
