io vorrei un bello uomo.

i go to class with some of my students to italiano uno. everyone thinks it's so strange that i want to learn the local language. well, duh. how am i post to converse with my hot italian husband if i don't speak his language? and no, i don't have a hot italian husband

...yet. but how am i post to get one if i don't know essential flirting phrases?

exactly.

so instead of productively using my prep hour, i go to italiano uno with some third and fourth graders. right now i am learning useful phrases like, "c'e una matita sul mio banco." and "posso andare in bagno?" but i am confident that before we finish our textbook i will be able to flirt comfortably in italian. and if not, well then, at least i'll always be able to point out any stray pencils on my desk AND get permission to use the bathroom.
