I was just getting used to Italian...then we came far north to the Dolomites. The dialect of Italian is significantly different here from central Italy. It's hard for me to understand the dialect. Even common words like glass (Biccere) are different here (Chalice). I'm picking it up but slowly. Good news is they speak a bunch of German here. Bad news is I don't remember much German. It's hard to tune my ear to a new language. I've joked that I can ask for a pencil or a lamp in German, but that's about it. Although, I was asked in a restaurant this evening "Alles Gute?" (Is everything good?) And I responded "Sehr Gute!" (Very good) kind of automatically. Maybe there's hope?
