Title: Auito Italian Oral Tommorrow!
Post by: rosieposy87 on April 29, 2003, 10:56:05 am
Okay so tommorrow is my Italian Oral (25% of my final Italian grade may i add- aaaaaaaaaaagh) and we are sposed to learn around 50 questions all in italian, aswell as taking part in two roleplays!

This is so scary, its just me and my teacher sitting there examining me- and then this grade decides if i go to sixth form college or not! ack ack ack, u linguists got any good ideas!?

Lo que tienes que hacer es estar tranquila, no pensar en lo que te juegas sino en que te va a salir que te cagas, relajarte y estar segura de ti misma. No intentes traducir lo que estas diciendo, piensalo directamente en italiano, aunque no puedas decir exactamente lo mismo, lo dices como puedas...

oops! did you say italian? me knows very leetle sorry! lol  :wink:

nerea: its not a bloody 'translate a completely different language' exam now is it!?

I kinda understood that, there's some subjunctive in there. "Kings ha molti studenti, percio mi pare che sia troppi studenti: sempre piene di gente. Inoltre e un pecato che sia troppi studenti perche Kings' e un bell'scuola."

hehe, translate THAT! lmao

"Kings has many students, but I think it has too many students: it's always full of ppl. (insert whatever here) if it has too many students it's because Kings is a beautiful school"

hmm how's that? lol don't laugh! those r really wild guesses!!  :oops:


Anyway loads and loads of positive vibes! You're gonna do great!!! What I was just typing up there is that you should just relax and not try to translate what you wanna say from English, think in Italian, even if you're gonna use much simpler grammar... best of luck! *mwah*  :D

way to go rosie!

Has anyone started to become immersed in another culture and have culture shock coming back?

I've been connected to three subcultures of american culture which consisted of foreign students and regular americans.  There was a time when all three subcultures said to do basically the opposite thing from each other.  Can't please everyone.....
