My husband and I recently moved to Italy. We were getting a little bored with life, so we figured we had two options: have a baby...or move to Italy. As you can see, we chose carbs. So here we are, living in a tiny stone cottage in an Italian village, where we'll spend the next year before returning to the hustle and bustle of Toronto life. While plenty of Italians speak English, we really want to learn as much Italian as possible and actuallyyy try to live like locals. So, since I've been learning the language, I thought I'd pass along a few things I've picked up.
