Every day, I get an email from Transparent Language with the "Word of the Day" in Italian. I originally set this up because I wanted to increase my Italian Vocabulary. I've found it pretty interesting, although I don't know how well my vocabulary has really improved (or increased). I'm not sure if getting an email a day with a word and a sentence has really helped.
But I'd like to share with you what I have learned just over the past few days.
What do you think???
