My problem is exacerbated however by having to say all the time “mi dispiace, non mi sento bene” Of course, it should be obvious with these two things sticking out of my ears but it is not.
Being Italian, Sicilian/Tuscan by blood (if you can believe it!) I fit in, and relate some. But, being American by birth I have long since learned that my college Italian has not equipped me well when in Italy. It is improving however! I have since found that to speak Italian, in Italy that is, one must think in Italian, form sentences, expressions, etc. in Italian, and not in english. Little by little you get more comfortable!
Found you on facebook. Enjoy your blog.

I certainly get your humour. Just thank god you live in umbria and not milan – my bro in law says up there they just don’t get his Tuscan humour.
