Top Ten Reasons Why Peachy Deegan is In Love with Learning Italian on Rosetta Stone

As you know, for quite some time all Peachy could say in Italian was "Amo Le Scarpe Italiane!" which is of course true, in any language.  She loves Italian shoes-what can we say.  But she needed to add variety to her vocabulary, so we are pleased we met Rosetta Stone.  She has completed the third out of four parts of Unit One now as of yesterday, so what does she love about Rosetta Stone now that they have been spending so much time together?

1.  She can count all of her shoes from Italy in Italian!
2.  She can say the colors of all of the flowers in Caravaggio and Sistina in Italian!
3.  When Jenna Esposito sings in Italian, she can understand some of it now.
4.  The next time the Italian trade commissioner has a lunch (this happened last December) and invites her, she will be able to participate in the conversation instead of just sitting there listening, enraptured.
5. If she ever hears from her old roommate from Ireland again and she hopes she does, Monica Silva, who is from Milan, they will be able to speak since Monica forgot English.
6. Part three included the word ristorante and the working world, and you know she wears Italian shoes to Italian restaurants and can't decide what she likes better.  They tie.
7.  Watch out, because part four is on SHOPPING.  This is clearly the most dangerous component of her Italian vocabulary arsenal.
8.  Rosetta Stone makes the world a smaller and better place with more understanding, as the masses can now learn all kinds of languages!  It is not only Peachy under the microscope with her Italian obsession over shoes and cuisine.
9.  Rosetta Stone is intuitive, interesting, engaging and exciting.  Once you get it, you will understand!  The pictures, the pleasant voices, the repetition and the comprehensive overview of grammar, vocabulary, reading and pronunciation are stellar.
10. She is hoping that San Pietro won the best Italian restaurant outside of Italy, because then she will get to meet more Italian people and practice on them in person! (Plus then Gerardo Bruno will be drinking 5 Peachy Deegan's a day, made with Star Vodka of course!)
