  • Well, we did it; we made the leap from Italy to Canada! In this video I show you how we're settling into things at our new place in Toronto, and also how I'm keeping up my Italian language skills (and also making significant strides...even away from Italy!)

      @Joe Barone lol. It’s freezing here in winter although Canada is a beautiful country. My parents came for a better life which they worked hard for. Huge Italian community here, so even today my mom can go shopping and not have to speak any English. But a part of me wishes I could move to Calabria.

    So excited that you have found ways to stay connected with our beloved Italia/Puglia! “Musica Leggerissima” è una preferita anche per me! I listen, almost exclusively, to musica Italiana & Radio Italia to stay connected! Especially when I’m cooking!
    Buon fine settimana da TX!

    The choice I would’ve made (I wrote it in the comments of your “mystery video“ about moving…).
    Good luck with your Italian learning, and… keep in mind the importance of songs in the learning process ;) (a bit biased here…).
