Per mercoledi 10 settembre

Check the "Huffington Post" -- Italian edition, and look for article whose headlines you can understand, or at least make sense of.

Here is one I found toward the bottom of the page:

http://www.huffingtonpost.it/2014/09/05/bambini-bilingue-imparare-intelligenti_n_5772288.html?utm_hp_ref=Italy


In 'comment' copy the web address (URL) of the article and a brief interpretation.

ALSO, very important, LIST THE NEW WORDS YOU LEARNED (only the headline, not the entire article) and that you think will be useful in the future.

====================
Read your classmates postings and leave a comment to the articles you liked or that you found interesting.
