Miriam learned French and Italian at university and was a fluent speaker of both. As part of her course, she was required to study for there months in Paris and three months in Rome. Her time in Paris went well and she decided to take a holiday on her way to Rome, traveling a cross France to Italy. She was keen to hear the varieties of French and Italian spoken in provincial towns. She stayed in cheep pensions (French 'bread-and breakfast' places), and she made a special effort to talk to the local people rather than tourists. Her parisian accent admired and she could understand the French of Dijon and Lyon. But as she moved further from Paris she found the French more difficult to follow. Near the boarder between France and Italy, in the town of Chamber, she could not be sure what she was hearing. Was it Italian French or French Italian? Whatever it was, it was difficult for her to understand, though she has no trouble making herself understood. In Italy she found that the Italian spoken in Turin and Milan was very different from the Italian she had learned. As she approached Rome, however, she gradually began to comprehend more of she heard. And Finally in Rome she found some kind of match between the way she spoken and the way the Italian around her spoken.

'It is much harder than in English". she said. Is is not just a matter of saying sofa instead of couch, or house rather than 'ouse. Every time you talk to a different person you have to choose exactly the right words and the right pronunciations. Almost every word is different and they fit together in patterns or 'levels', depending on who we are talking to.
