Well fellow Mystery Inc. members? No guesses? Italian honeymoon...Jenni doesn't speak Italian... Wait I see a spark...
For a self-professed language geek like me this is what I am most excited about. Well this and the gelato! With the amazing special running for mother's day we got $125 off and free shipping! I should also mention they do have a 6 month return policy, and if you are not satisfied you can return it within that first 6 months.
So are you studying up for your Honeymoon? Are Mr. AZ and I (combined 16 years of University between us) the only nerds who are using our Honeymoon as an excuse to learn a foreign language? Also did I mention we intend to pass this nerdiness onto our yet unborn children?

i'm always envious of people with an ear for language! italian is pretty sweet language, too. i tried one cd program on Japanese from the library..but Sak couldn't stand my bad pronunciation so I gave up. :P
We both already spoke Italian so we were good there and had rudimentary French and Spanish and we left it at that. I always thinks its polite to *try* to converse with people in their native tongue but most we met spoke English and were eager to practise on us. Anyway, I didn't think I would get very far trying to learn Greek or Turkish beyond a few phrases!
Practice makes perfect @Penga. I was a Japanese pronunciation tutor in high school (no seriously).
@SogniSorrisi that's terrific and totally my opinion as well. Its very important in Cuban culture to attempt to speak in the native language. Even if you fail- you look like you tried!
Well, bore da!
Welsh?!?!
@Anna Rydw i'n dysgu Cymraeg!
I'm half Cuban and half Welsh so I decided to study it a little since I already know Spanish. I'm not very good at Welsh but I try. :o)
Language nerds woohoo! I'm planning on making my kids at least bilingual, hopefully trilingual (sigh, I knew so many trilingual people in grad school it vowed to make my kids trilingual)
