| Aran Charter (aranciata) aka DJ Fizzy Orange |
Since I started learning Italiano I have found myself not only thirsting for knowledge of how this beautiful language is constructed, but also for fizzy oranage! I kept hearing this phrase Aran Charter, un'Aran Charter, de Aran Charter. I quickly gathered it was some sort of beverage and not a person and tried to imagine what it was. Maybe it was coffee with Irish Cream - MMMmmmm. But no, Aran Charter - or the correct spelling aranciata is in fact fizzy orange, but wow! I just keep on drinking the stuff now!
I've now read a quarter of the way through a great book called Essential Itatian Grammar from the Teach Yourself series and the Open University. The thing I love about this book is it reminds you of what a noun is - a newspaper, a dog, a person (these are nouns) and the difference between a definite article (the) and an indefinite article (a or an). I still find it a bit of a challenge matching up the masculine, feminine and singular, plural endings to the verbs and nouns etc.
