A vest for swimming



I took KLM and found out that they call a life vest "zwemvest."

There is no such thing as a heroic resolution, but just a vest for swimming.

In other languages,,,

Japanese 救命胴衣 vest for saving life

Chinese 救生衣 cloth for saving life

Korean 구명 조끼 vest for saving life

Italian  "salvagente"
"Salvare" is "to save."

Spanish "chaleco salvavidas"  vest for saving life

French  "gilet de sauvetage" vest for saving life

Well, then only in Dutch..?

giorno 35 completed !


ITALIAN 5 WEEK BOOT CAMP DAY 35 completed.

(25 July)
The last week has brought me many to-do’s and passed like a rabbit.

I bought two Italian books though.

(1)  "Vocabolarietto italiano"

I had borrowed this green book at a library.

Then I found one in a bookstore and I thought it is worth having my own.


(2)   Giorgio Vasari "GIOTTO, BRUNELLESCHI"


Italian time in 5th week about 7.5 hour.

Actually, I have not achieved any one of the targets I declared.

Maybe, may plan was too optimistic...
