Broken links: Since November, 2005, I have written over 300+ blog entries with 1,000's of corresponding links/URLs for Moving2Italy2, covering a varied and wide range of topics. In the event that you come across a broken link or a non-functioning link/URL, please post a comment and report the non-functional link.

It should be noted that travelers to Italy and Expats living in Italy may in their respective travels or sometime or another will attempt to speak or communicate with medical or dental or emergency services personnel while in Italy. Both my wife and I have been seen by dentists, doctors and other medical professionals since we have moved to Italy.

We live just outside a town of 8,500 individual and approximately 24 kilometers (or 15 miles) from the small/medium size city of Arezzo in the region of Toscana/Tuscany. However, we have been surprised by by the number of medical and professional people we have encountered that state that they speak little or NO English. Fortunately, we speak enough Italian to make ourselves understood or that the medical individuals that we have met understand enough English or French to understand our specific medical condition.

I would strongly recommend that a traveler to Italy or an Expat living here with a pre-existing medical condition or symptoms to write down their specific medical condition in both English and Italian. This can be accomplish by using either using the medical phrases above or an online dictionary. Then, print this information and keeping the printout with you, have an extra copy in either your luggage or carried by a traveling companion and/or leaving a copy with a family member or a friend wherever you live.

That's it for Wednesday, 10 February 2010: mercoledì, 10 febbraio 2010

The above links are current. If anyone has any suggestions for other sites, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry. For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using Google .

Please note: I do NOT represent or endorse any of these links nor do I receive payment for listing them in my blog.

The reason that I list these links is to provide information for individuals who are dreaming, considering a move or traveling to Italy. It is my intent to share these links (web sites) with like-minded individuals who are in the process of considering, have made the decision to move or travel to Italy for whatever reason. I have attempted to group these links and to categorize them.

These blog postings and entries are not static. As I come across new information, I'll update the appropriate blog entry periodically.

I have found in my research on the Internet that by changing the wording of the search argument or the order of the wording of the search argument on a search engine, e.g., Google, you may get different results. There is so much information to choose from on the internet. Unfortunately, there's a lot of junk that clutters up one's search. I believe in my presentation format that it eliminates the need for one to do multiple searches. Also, I believe this information is a baseline or starting point for an individual to conduct their own search and they do not have to reinvent the wheel or start from scratch.

I am open to suggestions and solicit comments from the readers of this blog entry for your feedback.

That's it for Wednesday, 1 August 2007: mercoledì, 1 agosto 2007.

Ciao, Ben

Several of the above link(s) and the blog postings contains "Sound clips". When you see the words "Sound clip" or the "+" sign, please turn on the speakers on your PC. I have tried to indicate wherever there is an embedded "Sound clip" within these respective listings.

You may wonder why I made comments on some of the above links for Thai, Swedish or some other foreign language. In the Spring, 2005, my wife and I attended a class titled, "Italian for Travelers" at Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) at the Annandale campus. In this class, there were students from several foreign countries taking this course. I had already started collecting links for Italy and as the class progress, I started another listing for Italian language links. The above list with updates was passed out to my fellow classmates. This class was taught by Sybil Haynes. When Sybil is not teaching, she leads tours to her native Italy. You may read more about these tours at Dolce Vita Adventures.

Please check back for updates because my wife and I will need to further our knowledge of the Italian language before we move there in a few years. Some of the sites mentioned above will lead you to other interesting web sites on Italy.

While most of the above sites are "free", there may be other portions of these sites that are fee based. That is why I stated that the above are suggested reference links to learning the Italian language. You have a choice and many, many options.

That's it for Monday, 5 December 2005: lunedì, 5 dicembre 2005
