Formula Italiano 1 Chapter 3 Greetings and asking someone how they are

'Where do you fly funny butterfly?' Indonesian children's song



Kupu kupu yang lucu ke mana engkau terbang

Hilir mudik mencari bunga bunga yang kembang

Berayunayun pada tangkai yang lemah

Tidakkah sayapmu merasa lelah.



Kupu kupu yang elok

Bolehkah saya serta mencium bunga bunga yang semerbak baunya

Sambil bersenda semua ku hampiri

Bolehkah ku turut bersama pergi

Bolehkah ku turut bersama pergi



Where do you fly funny butterflies?

To and fro finding flowers in full bloom.

Swinging on the weak stem,

Won’t your wings become tired?


Beautiful butterflies

May I also smell the fragrant scent of flowers

All of my amusement, turning toward (??)

Can I join together to go?

Can I join together to go?

Tablets in the Primary Language classes

Georges River Grammar has obtained 20 Android tablets for use in Languages in the primary school. These were totally funded by a grant from the Australian Government through the School Languages Program and the National Asian Languages and Studies in Schools Program. Students in the primary school are learning Indonesian in Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2, and students in grades 3 – 6 are learning Italian. Mrs Moody’s students are looking forward to using the tablets in class to learn and practise Indonesian and Italian. For instance, students can use language-specific apps that are on the tablets, take photos, record short videos, and use the internet to practise and use their knowledge of Indonesian and Italian.

Kompetisi siswa - Indonesian 'student competition'

Kompetisi Siswa 2012 is a ‘student competition’ for NSW students of Indonesian language in Years K-10. It is a competition run by The Indonesian Language Teachers Association (ILTA) as part of the NSW Modern Language Teachers Association (MLTA) and the Australia Indonesia Association (AIA), in conjunction with the Indonesian Consulate. Only six students from each category can enter. Six students from Year 2 (in the K-2 category) were chosen to enter this year’s Kompetisi Siswa. The students had to draw, and label in Indonesian, a picture of their family (KELUARGA SAYA). We had many fantastic entries, and it was very difficult to narrow down the selection to just six entries. Congratulations to our six entrants.

4B Italian - "Come ti chiami?" role play

4T Italian "Come ti chiami?"

Years 3 -6 are learning how to ask someone for their name, in Italian. They ask "Come ti chiami?" They have learnt to use "Mi chiamo....." to say their name in Italian. All students in Years 3 - 6 have been given an Italian name to use during their Italian lessons, and they used these names in this speaking and listening activity. If they were unsure of how to spell someone's Italian name, they asked "Come si scrive?", and the other person used the Italian alphabet pronunciations to spell their Italian name.
