June 6, 1944. There is so much work to be done. The thought depresses me, but I know that I can’t dwell on it too much. If I am to survive the war and find my way to Amélie in Paris, I have to stay on my guard and be ready for anything. At the thought of Paris, I lean back. Memories of those moments remain with me. After almost five years of separation, the promises we made to each other remain. I need to find her. First, I just have to survive one of the most significant battles yet, the one they are calling D-Day. Reaching Paris and finding Amélie has never felt so impossible.

Is Italian a difficult language to learn? Yes, no, it depends. Let's say you are a native English speaker who has no good knowledge of another Romance language. Will you find Italian difficult to learn? At the beginning, yes. After, no. If learning Italian is like climbing a mountain with a lethal cascade of boulders, you will be right there at the base, ready to start your climb. The frightening cliff of "grammar" is not really a place for timid or unprepared climbers. Still, there are a lot of things we can do to be prepared! And moreover, we are not afraid of challenges and heights!
