Language Wars

In an effort to learn Italian, Andy & I have been trying to practice as much as possible. As soon as people realize that we're not native speakers, which is almost immediately, they start speaking English. That's when the language war starts. They'll speak to us in English and then we'll respond in Italian (and so on and so forth). Who usually wins? We do. We say "grazie" and "buongiornatta" as we walk out the door.
