Don't Be Afraid to Stand Alone

[@cherylkelly8009]

I always travel alone and love it! Thank you Mary 😊

[@MaryBartnikowski]

Yes It's liberating to make your own plans and just go when you're ready or stay longer if you need to!

[@Thirstytraveler41]

I always travel solo, that's the best.

Good, then I can do Italian. I did babbel four years ago, but found it frustrating navigating the app and hated when they said I didn't say it right. I knew I did. It has prob improved, I hope?

[@MaryBartnikowski]

You mean Babbel has improved? Didn't understand. I stopped Babbel a few years ago when I realized that you can learn all you need to know for free on KZbin and then just go out and practice with the locals who live here. They will help you.

@@MaryBartnikowski way better. Thanks.

In Sicily, do they really understand Italian, since I gather that Sicilian is different?

[@MaryBartnikowski]

Yes they do -- in Sicily it's a dialect difference. Sicilians are a different country than Italy. But they have their own way of speaking Italian. I don't notice the difference but they do.

they understand everything, life, food, love!
