Buongiorno!

Today I have spent about 5 minutes revising the alphabet that I learned yesterday, then I started using the BBC Italian website to learn some basic phrases in Italian. I have completed 'Top ten words' under 'Flying visit' in 'Italian Steps' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/italian/lj/handy/), and I learned 11 vocabularies through watching the slideshow. I have followed the recordings to practice my pronunciation, but I think the recordings in the website are a bit fast, so for some  difficult words with 3 or 4 syllables (e.g. arrivederci), I have to repeat the recording again and again for almost 10 times to get the pronunciation right.

I have started a vocabulary notebook to write down the vocabularies that I learn every day. Hope this can keep me from forgetting all the words!
