Italian 

Salve!

You will have noticed that when Signora is doing ‘Valet’ on Tuesday mornings

I encourage the children and their family member(s) to greet and respond“in italiano”.

 

So here are some words that have been used by children and parents:

 

Buongiorno     -   good morning

Ciao / arrivederci    -  bye / good bye

Ciao bella / bello bye  -  beautiful girl / boy

Ti amo      -   I love you

 

It is a delight to hear the preppies use their Italian words and the older

children using them so spontaneously.

 

Bravissimi!
