A New Year, A New Start

Hello Students! And welcome to this web log (also known as a "blog") which will be sure to help you with the new, and challenging vocabulary you will be exploring this year in my class. This year will be full of expectations. I believe that each and every one of you can learn this new language, and I will try my hardest to help you overcome the challenges that come with learning a new language. With that being said, I can relate to you as I am learning a new language, too! At the moment, I am studying the Italian language with one of my family members who have come to America to live with my family and I. No parle molto italiano. (I don't speak much Italian), but I can say that the encouragement from them have helped me get off to a fast start; I hope to do the same with this class, and I look forward to teaching and learning with you!
