Spazio! Ultima frontiera!

Sono stato a guardare Star Trek in Italiano, e ho imparato a dire, "Spazio, ultima frontiera! Questi sono i viaggi della nave stellare, Enterprise. La cui missione cinque anni è di cercare nuove forme di vita e nuove civiltà, per andare là dove nessun uomo è mai giunto prima."

Nerding out in two languages.

Hey! I just had a nice conversation with an old Italian guy In Italian!

I made up two whole sentences.

Two!

All by myself!

He said (something like) "Don't work too much," and I said, "Work never ends."

Then he gave me a bunch more Italian I didn't quite catch, and I said, "I'm sorry, Italian is not easy for me." He looked a little sad, and smiled and said "Buon Lavoro".

He seemed really nice. And was wearing a great old fashioned fedora.

That was the third two or three-sentence conversation I've had in Italian this month.

Maybe I could learn not to hate it here so much.

learning foreign

Am I right in thinking that "non abbiamo" means "we don't have"?

cause if I am, then Google translator is pretty much useless.
