COVID-19 and learning Italian
A serious question
Good day, all!
In thinking about COVID-19’s emergence since March 2020, has the pandemic impacted your language learning? I know that many of us have not been able to travel to Italy. What ways have you adapted your language learning to the pandemic?
Feel free to comment here. I’m interested in hearing how Italian language learners are adapting and using free and paid online resources to keep their language skills fresh!
I've decided to splurge and take Pinsleur online. As usual my studies include Duolingo, Coffee Break Italian, reading, watching Italian films. I also have two conversation partners in Italy. In order to prepare for these conversations, I've been writing short essays about my life and reading them in Italian.
We have continued our Skype lessons with https://www.linguaitaliana.com/ through out the covid period. And indeed, are planning to leave on a trip to Camerano IT to have lessons in person. BUT just today the NYTimes had an article on EU restrictions being introduced against the US: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/29/world/europe/eu-us-travel-restrictions.html
Hopefully this will all work out.
