SELFISH VIDEO n. 1 -- scadenza 5 febbraio

Yes, I know, it is not "selfish," but that's what I call them.

In COMMENT, post the link to your youtube pronouncing at least 5 autobiographical statements in italiano.

When you upload to youtube, if you want privacy, switch from "public" to "unlisted". This way only people with the link can play it (it cannot be found randomly.)

REPLY: watch your classmates and choose what you think is the most theatrical (drama is welcome), smooth, clear -- whatever you want, as long as you choose one. Explain why you chose it. Try to say it in italiano: find adjectives in the dictionary (no need to try to write complex sentences.)

Discussione 1: "Di dove sei?" -- Scadenza mercoledi 31 gennaio

Di dove sei?  literally means  "OF WHERE YOU ARE?"

You can give several different answers to this questions: country, state, town, borough, section of borough, whatever. It all depends on the context.

Let's focus on where you live now.

Esempio: io sono di Flatbush. Io sono di Brooklyn.

                io sono di Amytiville. Io sono di Long Island.


OK. Your turn now. Use COMMENT.

Thinking about language 1: scadenza mercoledi 31 gennaio

Start paying attention to the language you speak every day, namely, English. Become aware of curious, strange or unexpected things about it. For instance: did you notice a sign with a word misspelled? Or an ad on the subway with strange, twisted wording?

 

How about new words that suddenly people start using, especially young people? Mannerisms? New idioms?  Are words from foreign languages entering English? Which ones do you use?

 

Are there words, expressions or clichés you hear on TV, shows etc. that you can't stand? Too trendy? Too banal? Too unoriginal?

 

Then there are NEW words you never saw/heard: big words that you want to use next time you will have a chance, in order to impress.

 

As you pay more and more attention to language, are you becoming aware of the oddities of English?

 

Please, don't recycle old stuff you noticed time ago. Start now with the determination to discover new phenomena and become aware of new things.
