Hocchei
I just finished checking our daughter’s homework. She had to write a story of a conversation between her and the Christmas tree. I came across this word that I hadn’t see before: hocchei. Very few words in Italian begin with an “h,” so I knew something wasn’t right.
I asked Chloe what she meant, and she said, “You know, like when they say o-kay” It then dawned on me that she had phonetically spelled the English word “OK,” which Italians use all the time. I told her how to spell “OK” and that it was an English word, and she was surprised.
My kids really do speak Italian well…

You better get back here fast before they forget English.
