New Job/New language

For those who don't know, long story short, I am starting a new job part time. I am going to be a server at a nice italian restuarant. I have gone through many emotions but am not almost looking forward to it now. I have to go through training and tests so I am not so looking forward to that part. Which brings me to my news, learning a new language. I have to memorize the menu and the ingredients in the menu items.....Ack. Can someone say not good memory due to hypothyroid..yes, but I have so many prayers going up on my behalf and you know what? I am almost done with the appetizers and I just got the book last night!! Yippe! Still have MUCH to go, however, I see that it can be done.

So, my question, why do words look so different than how they actually say them? I have to see the phonetic spelling to get it right but have to know how to say it. Like Bruschette....broo ske ta or Cozze .... Kot ze where did that t sound come from. Okay, I know you don't care but I'm just saying. While I am studying I might as well learn more than just the names. ;) Getting hungry yet? How about some Mozzerella Marinara or Bruschette of the day or Calamari? All right, I'll stop.

Mmmmmmm...I'll have one of everything!!
I did not know how to pronounce Bruschetta. I was saying it the way it is spelled. Thanks for setting me straight.

So when you come to town, do you get a discount at our Carabba's? If so, I'm thinking Girls Night Out ;-)

Yum-O! That makes me have the munchies. So, is it Carraba's? I love that place!

Just relax and have fun! You'll be great!

I am so excited for you, girl! I know you'll do great and will be praying that all will go well as you get started. I envy all the customers that get to have you serve them. How fun? I always thought it would be a fun job to be a server - meeting lots of people and all, but my temperment is not the type for it at all.

I'm curious, too, if it's Carabba's?
