Hi Folks,I KNOW this is an odd one...............We are travelling from Le Marche to BAVARIA (yes) in December (yes DECEMBER)......We would like to stop off for a single night on the way, we ideally would like a small town, where we can spend an a

4 lessons (FOUR !!!!) I am now on my 3rd year of lessons (roughly 1 per week), and have gone through 3 teachers !! I communicate (of a sorts), but living here in Le Marche, most of my neighbours speak dialetto!!!! The biggest thing that we have done is to 'go for it'.............don't mumble, say what you think and the recipient usually helps out. The other thing is obviously, you have your phrase all worked out and the 'they' respond ....................at breaknight speed!!!!!!!!!!! Molto difficile! But we love it !!!!!! S
I am under the impression that the UK 'WILL' rules ok?! BUT, we have a single A4 sheet of handwritten, named, signed and dated 'WILL' in Italy, effectively summarising our desire to have the UK 'WILL' to be the one that is carried out?
Valentina/Ronald/Who-ever........... Why can we not have a thank you button/option? Is it a technical issue? If so what precisely is the issue? S
I agree..............I do feel though that I assume that I am allowed to express my views (for or against) re living here. I have chosen to live here, I can choose also to live elsewhere. I still have a view though! I lived in South Africa some years ago and sadly, the locals knew when a plane from England arrived ..................it kept whining ! Most days (if not everyday), I pronounce to anyone in earshot 'I love my life here'. And it's true! Where I will be in 5/10 years who knows..................but we could be a LOT worse off. S
Hi...........it was unobtainable for me too....................quite sad as it is not as 'good' as it was (for me). I have said that I'm not keen on the 'guess the object etc' themes that seem to be growing in number. But........... I wouldn't actually mind (following Man Utds 'triumph(?)' yesterday) looking at actually how successful they are......... Are they the most successful British team in Europe? (no......... it's Liverpool!) Are they the most successful team in the League Cup? (no......... it's Liverpool!) Are they the most successful in winning the top league competition in England (no...... it's Liverpool!) They are however catching up and when they pay off their £750million debt (tee hee!), they will go on to be the best. Ha !! S
Well...............I think it may be bye bye Italian Sky for us................ Not THAT bothered really but the only (?) BBC input has now disappeared as of today ! What's going on??? S
Can't argue with that...........I just arrive on the site (looking for info to receive or to give) and see a range of these ..............I suppose I need to be more tolerant ! (Ha!!) S
I'm sure I'll get some stick, but I find these 'guess the object/location/size/colour etc etc' very tedious. Apologies to those who enjoy them.................not for me I'm afraid! S
Sabina, your explanation is EXACTLY my position, I am not in the linguistic position to argue their points (as I would do in the UK), but................ a recorded delivery letter will be off next week as our 'annual contract' is due circa 12th June. We have had similar problems in Italy with our house & car insurance (both of which I hate with a vengeance!). If you want to change from one supplier to another the small print in the contract is a very specific time related 'tie-in' (we currently have 2 TWO !! house insurances !! (probably both of which are invalidated by having the other !!). Go carefully one and all !! S
