How Melissa Muldoon Went ‘Matta’ for Italian and What She Built from Her Craziness

November 13, 2013 By Cher 3 Comments

This episode’s audio doesn’t exist, and we have technology to blame (poof! gone into cyberspace!). Instead of listening to this episode, feel free to use the notes below to learn more about the topic. And if you’re like, “CHER, NO. I NEED THIS EPISODE,” then let me know in the comments below. I’ll put it on my list to record again!

Loving Italian is no easy feat. It’s like any other relationship. You fall in love. You fight. You feel hurt.

It takes dedication and whole lotta’ passion to stay committed. When you know this and you see someone else going through it, it’s instant friendship (even if the other person doesn’t know it yet!).

[Podcast 46] How Melissa Muldoon Went ‘Matta’ for Italian and What She Built from Her CrazinessWhen I saw all of the love Melissa had for Italian over on her blog Diario di una Studentessa Matta, I knew I had to speak with her to hear all about her journey and how she maintains her Italian.

What you’ll hear in this episode is a lady having a 14-year affair with one of the most beautiful languages in the world.

If you want to hear first-hand from her about her journey, you’ll love this guest post she wrote about just that. 

You’ll learn:

— What got Melissa past her ‘proverbial language learning wall’

— One key quality Melissa has that has truly accelerated her language learning ability

— How much time she spends per day learning Italian

— The spark that led Melissa from studying Italian alone to finally speaking with other people

— How her Italian literally unlocked doors with people

— Which experience you might fall in love with to take you to the next level of Italian
