In order to be truly motivated, we need to let people know about our project. Some of the ways we've started to do this is by letting people know what we are doing on Facebook and on Twitter (I've let my immense base of 26 twitter followers know). Anyone reading this, be sure to spread the word!

I notice now the similarities between Spanish and Italian. In just learning the gender, the rules are mostly the same. The way masculine words end in "o" and feminine words end in "a". Also the numbers one through ten are very easy to remember because they are so alike to Spanish (dos is duo, tres is tre...)The only actual memorizing we needed to do for the previous week is memorize how to modify nouns to plural as well as memorize the definite and indefinite articles. It seems really easy so far, but I'm sure that as the depth progresse the memorizing will get harder. So,like  Rachael said, I will be sure to keep good notes. Also maybe we could start a google doc with what we've learned so far to keep things consistent?

Throughout the week, I tried to memorize and understand the Italian indefinite and definite articles. I also learned 1-10 in Italian. Basically, I just learned what was on our pitch for last week. It was pretty easy to memorize and understand just those simple aspects; however, it was sort of difficult to find a reliable source that provided me with the correct articles. The hard part about learning a language without a teacher or Rosetta Stone is finding websites and books that will help me learn on my own. Also, I have to remember to take notes just like this is a class because if I happen to forget anything I've learned, I will need something to refer back to.
