Comic Book Characters

Day 196 of My Italian Learning Journal*

_____________________

One of the most fun and useful digital programs I have found is Book Creator (See post #126). I continue to use this program weekly to send one of my grandson's comic book style ebooks to encourage him to read. I send him small printed phonics books once a week and send him a link to the online ebook I create weekly as well. Along the way, I am getting more familiar with old super-heroes and have been learning about previously unfamiliar ones. This week and next I incorporate The Black Panther into the weekly ebook. The Black Panther first appeared in the Marvel Comic Book Fantastic Four Vol 1 #52, in July 1966. (Grammar corrections in my Italian practice script below are welcome -- I'm still very much a beginner.)

Ascolta Questo:

• Da quando ero un ragazzino mi sono divertito con i fumetti.
  Since I was a young boy I have enjoyed comic books.

• Un personaggio di fumetti con cui non avevo familiarità è The Black Panther.
  A comic book character I was not familiar with is The Black Panther.

• Mando brevi libri sui personaggi dei fumetti a mio nipote che ha 6 anni.
  I send short books about comic book characters to my grandson who is 6-years old.

• La mia speranza è che mio nipote svilupperà l'amore per la lettura.
  My hope is that my grandson will develop a love of reading.

Alla prossima!
