"Italians say that someone who acquires a new language 'possesses' it. In my case, Italian possesses me. With Italian racing like blood through my veins, I do indeed see with different eyes, hear with different ears, and drink in the world with all my senses."
These words spoken by Dianne Hales, in her book, La Bella Lingua: My Love Affair with Italian, the World's Most Enchanting Language ring true for many. Scuola Italiana di Portland knows well the enchantment of this beautiful language.
