For the cultural assignment I wrote a paper on a movie called "The Truffle Hunters," a movie about a community in northern Italy who hunt for the prized Alba truffle, an Italian delicacy. This assignment reflects the time I spent studying an aspect of Italian culture that was previously unknown to me. Completing this work helped me to better understand the Italian culture of food and truffle hunting which is so different than that of American culture. I feel more connected to Italian culture than I did before and can relate my own experiences with theirs, especially with hoe the men in the movie I described treasure their pets as family members.

This is a great example of my skills in presentational communication because for this project I had to research a topic and present what I found to the rest of the class. For this assignment I included a recorded audio of my group's presentation and then the presentation itself. This project was interesting because I had never heard of the island of Capri before. I learned a lot about Italian culture and the places people like to go for vacation. This project also helped me put the new vocabulary we learned into context and made it easier to conceptualize.

This was my first time writing a letter entirely in Italian and it helped me to better understand how to use the past tense in context and communicate with another person. Although the letter is short it demonstrates my skills with interpersonal communication. The purpose of this letter was to write home to family in Italy about immigrating to America and the time I spent there. I wrote about what we had learned in class and I also did a little bit of research into Italian immigration. This assignment also helped me to contextualize the content we we learning in class about Italian immigration.

This assignment is part of a blog post that my group members and I completed for project 2 for this class. I had to research and interpret information to make this blog post. I used several sources found online about Italian immigration to other countries and the state of things in those countries today. This assignment helped me learn a lot about Italian culture and the many waves of migration that occurred in Italy. I researched immigration to Switzerland and France specifically because I thought it would be interesting and also because I have a background in learning French.

Ciao! Mi chiamo Sarah e questo è il mio secondo semestre che imparo l'italiano. Studio psicologia qui alla KSU e ho un minore in italiano. Mi piace leggere e ascoltare musica. È stato grazie alla musica che ho iniziato a imparare l'italiano. Io e il mio amico abbiamo ascoltato insieme vecchie canzoni d'amore italiane. Mia cugina è nata in Italia e mi racconta sempre storie.   Non sono mai stato in Italia ma ho in programma di andare a studiare all'estero tra qualche anno. L'Italia sembra un posto meraviglioso e voglio visitare un giorno. È difficile cercare di ricordare tutte le parole e parlare in modo fluido, ma diventa più facile con la pratica. Imparare la differenza tra passato prossimo e imperfetto è stata probabilmente la parte più difficile di questo semestre. Sono migliorato in tutti gli aspetti della lingua, inclusi parlare, leggere e scrivere. Mi sono piaciuti alcuni degli incarichi che abbiamo portato a termine, in particolare quello culturale. Mi è piaciuto conoscere tutti i diversi aspetti della cultura italiana. Voglio continuare a studiare l'italiano ma non sono riuscito a includerlo nel mio programma per il prossimo semestre. Voglio continuare a imparare in modo indipendente e spero di avere di nuovo la possibilità di seguire un corso di italiano.
