Caro Lettore,

Welcome to this week's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter! Read the next installment in one woman's adventure in fluency. Shopping for lotion in her no-tourist neighborhood, our guest author Bonnie discovers the dangers of full-immersion.

In the About.com Italian Language forums members discuss the honorific "Don," and a sing-along to Ciribiribìn. There's a lesson on punctuation marks, and a conjugation table for the verb consegnare. Plus, listen to an audio phrasebook with vocabulary related to travel by train (in treno).
