Dear Aiyana:

Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea: the largest is Sicily, second is Sardinia and third is Cyprus. Of the three I was only in Cyprus. But I spent a lot of time in the Mediterranean Sea. In summer time the water is so very warm, a pleasure to be in it.

Italian is the official language throughout Italy and the most widely spoken language in Sardinia, followed by the island’s historical language, Sardinian/ sardu (Wikipedia). As far as languages, I spoke French as a child but it’s been such a long time ago. I speak another language, other than English, but again, don’t have the practice anymore (neither talking nor reading). Without practice, one forgets.

It will be nice when the pandemic is contained and civil unrest is resolved. You can then travel (once you can afford it), and hopefully.. (some day, over the rainbow, as the song goes) we people will always treat each other respectfully, as people equal in worth, no  less and no more than anyone.
