[/html]Sounds good :]
Beppe recognised all the characters that Naniko was writing; they all seemed to be the same as Italian. The boy could read Italian fluently, though he was a little slow at it and sometimes had to go back to sound out words and figure out what they really meant. Losing the ability to read Italian would be much more likely than losing the ability to speak it, Beppe thought, because he wasn't sure if he'd be able to find any books in the language. He could always talk to himself in his own language. It was already a habit anyways.
Changing the sounds of the letters when in combination wasn't unfamiliar to him; it happened all the time in Italian, but the sounds that they made were certainly different. "Ch" in English was much different than "ch" in Italian. It would take a bit, but Beppe was sure he would get used to it.
Smiling, he nodded, ready for the rest of the lesson.[html]
