Le Olimpiadi: The Olympics Return to Italy

Ciao amici,

This past weekend brought over a foot of snow and freezing temps to New York. I dislike being cold, but thinking positively, I feel more excited about the Winter Olympics in Northern Italy! I always prefer the winter over summer Olympics because the games are more adventurous.

Which popular winter sport do like the most?

Figure Skating: Patinaggio artistico

Ice Hockey: Hockey sul ghiaccio

Snowboarding: Snowboard

Ski Jumping: Salto dal trampolino

Speed Skating: Patinaggio di velocità

Here are some new and more obscure winter sports that I’m looking forward to hearing about in Italian:

Ski Mountaineering (Skimo)

Dual Moguls

Mixed Team Skeleton

Women’s Doubles Luge

I hope watching this year’s Olympics will inspire you to travel to Italy and study Italian! Find the best program for your schedule and learning style here: https://www.immerseitaly.com/language

Stay warm!

Un abbraccio,

Lisa
