      Secret Codes for Learning Italian, Part I - Adjective Cognates - Vincent Traina

      DEDICATION

      This book is dedicated first and foremost to my mother, whose love and support in every way has bolstered my mind and spirit since the day she gave me life.  In times of personal difficulty, she has always been available with endless patience and encouragement.  I thank my father for advising me to follow my own path, and demonstrating the power of belief.  My brother continuously supported me in my career decisions, and my twin sister has provided a positive example of what hard work and dedication can accomplish.  I’m very grateful to my uncles, aunts and grandparents for their supportive generosity and for sharing their collective knowledge.  The wisdom they imparted, whether directly or indirectly, have been invaluable for further growth.  Admiration goes to my abundantly creative sister-in-law Tina, a teacher and artist who has authored a children’s book called Travel Tails: All Bark and No Bite and a self-help book called I Choose Gratitude.
