Year 7 Italian Class

In Italian class, we've learnt our L'Alfabeto Italiano, even making fun posters to help us remember the letters and say them correctly. Some people in our class can even recite the Italian alphabet in under 7 seconds! We have also learnt how to count (in Italian of course) up to 999,999,999 and have begun learning about Subject Pronouns (I, you, he, she etc.)Italian is definitely one of my favourite classes because the language is interesting and learning it helps with your English and memory skills. Prof Brogno also makes classes fun and teaches us heaps of interesting things- we even learnt how to play Battaglia Navale- Battleships, but in Italian!
