Good for you!! (and, by that I mean - cool!)

[Lysandra]

Bravissimo! I'm sure that made your visit to Italy so much richer. Hope you can spend more time in Italy or maybe around an exchange student to perfect your usage and accent.

It's wonderful to be able to speak other languages. I kick myself for not putting the time and effort into Spanish when I was younger. In fact, it's been a dream of mine to learn ASL, American Sign Language, to communicate with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. Maybe I could talk to Harry Potter fans there too!

It is amazing what Harry does for us. Thank you for sharing your Italian journey with us.

ciao, è stato veramente divertente leggere il tuo messaggio, ti rispondo in italiamo perchè mi pare giusto. in questo caso.
LA mia esperenza a Londra, è stata speculare: Harry potter è stato il mezzo per cominciare a chiaccherare con alcuni ragazzi.

ciao,
sono felice che harry potter sia stato il mezzo per avere una conversazione in italiano e mettere in pratica ciò che hai studiato... pensa io che sono italiana ho letto harry potter solo in inglese quando vivevo a Londra, io credo che leggerlo in originale sia meglio ma per te è tutta pratica, se ti va di discutere di hp con un'italiana che è ossessionata come te mandami pure un email!

buona lettura!

Buono ( and I mean that's excellent). What a neat collection to have. And how nice to get Italian responses to your editorial.

[SevSnape]

That's awesome! I think everyone should be able to share our own interests with people in different countries.

English is my second language, so I sometimes have trouble finding others that speak the same language, I naturally speak, here in America.

So, ya...take Potter around the world. Woo-hoo!

[yyyiiilllaaannn]

That's really wonderful! I would love to be able to do that someday as well in another country. Harry Potter can really help people get through troubles, despite what others say. It's really nice that you got away from your fear of speaking Italian.
Harry Potter rules!

I agree, harry potter is great. I have read the fifth and am working on the first one in French. Now i'm the nerd in my french class, adn i know extremly helpful words like "balai" (broomstick). Yeah, it's not a word on my french test, but it makes you a more interesting person. Keep it up.

[Tea_Cozy]

Great editorial. It made me laugh!

[hpfttl]

that was great! i too had the same reluctance to speak another language-- in my case spanish -- and it becomes that much easier when you find some common ground. What a wonderful way to finally fully enjoy italy. finally talking to someone and even better about harry potter!

[dungbrains]

I own a few of the Harry Potter books in French and in German. I have a bit of an understanding of the French language and have read the first three books in French. It has really enhanced my understanding of the language, plus it's really impressive to sit around reading a whole novel in French!

I've never had a lesson in German. However, I recently became good friends with the German foreign exchange student who is just about as nutty over HP as I am. The two of us have spent whole class times reading slowly through the German Harry Potter books. It's a really cool type of bonding with someone from a foreign country.

Bravissima ragazza! Vivo qui in Italia da quasi undici anni ma sono canadese e ancora il mio italiano non è perfetto. Ma sempre Io sto facendo il progesso. Qualche volta Io leggo un libro di Harry Potter in italiano perché certo Io so i libri in inglese ma non è facile a leggere i libri in italiano. Mi piacciono molto 'Harry Potter & La Pietra di Filosofie', 'Harry Potter & La Camera dei segreti', 'Harry Potter & Il Priginiero di Azkaban', 'Harry Potter & Il Calice di Fuoco' e 'Harry Potter & L'ordine delle Fenice' ma 'Harry Potter & Il Principe della Mezzasangue' non arriva ancora in Italia, presto spero! Scusa me per gli sbagliati in questo testo ma Buon Natale e Felice Anno Felice ai tutti qui a 'Mugglenet'!

I spent a year living in Rome in 2000. My Italian was pretty darn good too, but after a few years without practice I felt I was losing it. So - I bought the first 2 books in Italian (amazon has them) and have been working my way through them.

Whatever it takes to learn the language, right?

[laur]

....plus, the name changes make me giggle.

[hel101]

That's really cool!! I wish I could speak Italian....

[simplybecky]

That is really cool. I have the first book in Italian (Harry Potter e la pietra filosofale) and I just love to read it. I've take two semesters of Italian (in college) and I was surprised how easy it is to follow along (but that could just be because I have it virtually memorized in English ). I wish I had done something as cool as buy it in Italy, though...I only got mine at Barnes and Noble. I'm eventually going to get all six, though

[AWesoME]

hey that's so cool! my penpal just sent me Harry Potter a l'ecole de sorciers (that's, Harry Potter #1 in french). and yeah, it is cool and educational to read a book in another language...actually my penpal reads harry potter in english! lol

[pottercomics]

Non posso aspettare per andare in Italia! Vado comprare TUTTO i libri di Harry Potter quando sono lì! Buono articolo!

(lol, that's the first time I didn't have to think before writing a sentence in Italian! Grazie, Harry Potter!)
