Today I wrote an email to someone entirely in Italian.
Why, you might ask? Well, it is a beautiful language for one, and I have been secretly trying to teach it to myself ever since we traveled to Italy in 2000. And it is fun to write in code sometimes! I always liked to use codes when I was younger.... we would spend hours devising a code that "no one" could break so my girlfriends and I could fee safe in passing notes in class. I am sure anyone, anywhere could have broken those codes without effort - but it was fun!
I am finding I can write in Italian, MUCH better than I can speak in Italian, so you won't be hearing me spout tons of vocabulary in that beautiful language.. but you may just get a note or two written in it... or maybe even a blog post!!
Rest easy, I will not start writing this blog in Italian. I just wish I could. I want to be Italian, speak Italian, live in Italy. Ah... the wonder and romance of that place is undeniable. French may be the "language of love" but to me, Italian is the "language of my life!"
So, how about you-- do you have a secret language? Can you speak a different language than your first? I am feeling European today...how about you?

I can speak a mean pig latin. That's it.
And even then, I gotta have a powerful lot of coffee in me to make it thru a whole sentence without losing it to the giggles.
