Everyday this month (May 2022), me and @lovelybluepanda will share our personal finds and opinions on a specific subject we decided beforehand. You can join us too in the comments or simply by tagging us in your post!
DAY 15 - GOALS
I searched on Google “How to set goals for yourself”, and these are the 7 steps that popped up in the suggestions’ box:
Think about the results you want to see. (Pensa ai risultati che vuoi vedere)
Create SMART goals. (Crea degli obiettivi INTELLIGENTI)
Write your goals down. (Scrivi i tuoi obiettivi)
Create an action plan. (Realizza un piano d'azione)
Create a timeline. (Crea una sequenza temporale)
Take action. (Agisci)
Re-evaluate and assess your progress. (Rivaluta e stima i tuoi progressi)
I feel that goals are pretty personal though. I mean, each one of us should think about their life and envision what they want to make out of it. After envisioning, come the choices: what do I have to do in order to reach that goal? Almost for sure, I’ll have to learn something: be it about myself, how to plan or really buildt a knowledge by studying (language, IT, …anything). What can I renounce to do and what I cannot? I think it’s also related to regrets, at a certain levels. I am re-evaluating the timeline part: I have never been a fan of having a fixed timeline on the long run: I have always liked to leave my future a bit more adaptable to changes, but I found out I tend to get lost on daily basis (learning new things, chaning my mind, improvising) and that makes me lose sight of the future. So, also after talking with Panda, who’s way better than me at this, I decided to change a bit. I’ll let you know how it goes! Just remember to never give up if it seems that goals are never coming true. You never know when the right time is coming.
VOCABULARY:
goals = gli obiettivi timeline = la cronologia degli eventi, la sequenza temporale, la timeline action = azione progress = il progresso to learn = imparare to envision = visualizzare choices = le scelte to renounce = rinunciare to get lost = perdersi never give up = non arrenderti/si mai

DAY 19 - ANIME
Anime. This word always makes me think cause in Italian it means “souls”. I am not a huge fan, I have probably watched more TV adaptions than read actual books, but still… I remember the first years of University, when I used to travel by train basically everyday from my hometown to the city in which I was studying. In the train station there was this small but really very well supplied kiosk, and I loved to spend there some time before jumping on a train. I remember it had LOT of animes there. I often felt like buying one,but I generally ended up buying something else? LOL. But nowadays I really would like to start reading again, and probably anime would be good for that. I need to find a good one :) Suggest me something, maybe?
I’d like to draw some anime’s inspired person but who knows… for now I already have problems with drawing easier stuff soooo better if I stop there!
(Song: Anima mia - I cugini di campagna)
anime(s) = un/gli anime character = il personaggio black and white = bianco e nero colors = colori storyline = la storia, la trama drawing = il disegno line, stroke = il tratto pencil = la matita ink (n.) = l'inchiostro
TV - il televisore(when off), la televisione (when on) carpet - il tappeto armchair - la poltrona sofa - il sofà, il divano coffee table - il tavolino(da caffè) lamp - la lampada vase - il vaso chandelier - il lampadario window - la finestra curtains - le tende bookcase - la libreria fireplace - il caminetto
From what I know “il televisore” is the object, while “la televisione” is the medium.
Examples:
1.Ho comprato un televisore nuovo. // I bought a new tv.
2.Mi piace guardare i miei film preferiti in televisione. // I like watching my favourite films in tv.
3.La televisione è un mezzo di comunicazione di massa. // Television is a mass medium.
Even if I have noticed a lot of us, Italian native speakers, using “la televisione” for every meaning.
