The Key to Nardò


Twelve months. Dodici mesi. That’s how long I’ve been on this Italian journey. It started like everyone else’s, penso. A click. A download. Duolingo. The little green owl was my first, ehm, friend. Then Jumpspeak, MakesYouFluent, DuoCards… my phone was pieno, a digital tower of Babel promising fluency. And it worked, a little. I could say “the cat is under the table.” Molto utile. Very useful.
