Where can you use Italian? In Italy. Reading signs, watching TV. In Italian restaurants. When watching opera. Watching Italian films. Translating recipes for Italian dishes. Services, blessings and hymns in the Roman Catholic church. In Albania you get Italian TV. In Switzerland, Italian is the third language.
I went up from one league to the next on Duolingo in Italian. When I complete the course I shall go back to Spanish, then start Portuguese, as the three languages are similar, which will make learning them easy.
Meanwhile, here are some memorable Italian words and my memory aids.
Italian - English
ben - well (beneficial)
caviglia - ankle (similar sounding letters c-a-l a-k-l)
denti - teeth (think of dental work)
pazienti - patients
