# WIKITONGUES- Steven speaking Sicilian (describing plants)

This video was recorded by Wikitongues volunteer Steven, a 3rd generation Sicilian American. He has taught himself a lot of the language by practicing with relatives and Facebook groups. He would like to see more Sicilian Americans using the language, because it's rare to find descendants of Sicilian immigrants that know the language.

Transcription: "Binidica a tutti, Pi fari a ficu 'n un annu è mpurtanti pi scegghiri na rama cu tri o chiui gemmi daccussì, si vidi. Si tagghia sta rama e ci metti nterra daccussì e ci metti l'acqua quannu nicissariu. E doppu tempu chista avi tri simana e chisti hannu tri misi, di nivura e janca e chista cca un annu. Videmu, si vidi...si vidi comu beddi tala....va beni ciau a tutti!"
