Villa, Is it possible to take your class and if so, how would I hook up?
Grazie JLR455

To say that Im frustrated with my pace at learning the language is a vast understatement.Its probably because I actually dont get much time and my concentration levels are not what they used to be.As a London commuter,I do have a little time ,on my journeys in and out,but before I know it,Im sending up the zs.
After a couple of pages or even paragraphs,I can feel my eyes closing.At this rate,I will just about order a bottle of wine and a meal ,and be done with.Maybe,if I stay off this site for a while and get down to the nitty gritty ,I will start to get somewhere,hopefully.But,this is a great forum.

Grazie Villa
I am going to do what you have suggested and see what happens. Hopefully I will improve.

We can hook up at Professor50@hotmail.com

Dove vivi? Where do you live?

Ciao mod. "After a couple of pages or even paragraphs, I can feel my eyes closing." LOL! Believe you me mod I know what you mean. LOL!

Mod, What a great opportunità you have to learn Italian with that communte of yours. I highly suggest you get and Ipod or some kind of
listening device. Having some kind of listening device is like having a traveling portatile language lab. Got a Zune listening device
that has 100's and 100's of hours of Italian, French, Portuguese and Spanish lessons and music on it.(mostly Italian lessons)
My Zune holds 120 GB. That's what a good computer holds. Most people only have 80 GB on their computers.
Can hold 100 full length movies. 500,000 songs and pictures. Is a radio and can transmit songs and audio language wirelessly.

Just yesterday had to take my car in to the shop. It took over 3 hours ma(but)I had my Zune with me and spent most of the
time listening to audio Italian. I recorded some of my Italian classes of my favorite Italian teacher and put it on my Zune.
Was listening to her speak and wow it was like being back in the classroom in Perugia, Italia. She was so interesting! Had to
laugh. It's so cool. I'm in California 8 thousands miles away from Italy and I'm walking around listening to my Italian class
qui in California. Doesn't get any better than that.

By the way. As we speak I'm listening to downloaded Italian audio on my computer.

On the site you have mentioned -http://www.e-book.com.au/freebooks.htm – there is information about another site I have been familiar with for a while:
http://www.liberliber.it -
se a qualcuno interessa ci sono audio libri e opere che si può scaricare gratis. Ho trovato qui “Pinocchio” di Collodi e mi ho fatto un grande piacere ascoltarlo.
Anche per divertirsi :
http://www.logoslibrary.eu -
biblioteca dei bambini.
Have fun!

Thanks to babayaga

> Vicenza will be my base of operations and from there will travel around Italy to Venice, Verona, Padua, ... [CUT]

Villa whenever you plan to pay Venezia a visit just let me know and I'll be happy to welcome you here!

Spero che ci incontreremo,

Carlo.

Grazie Carlo. That's very nice of you. Ci vidiamo in June 2009. Suppongo that you've been to
Vicenza and Verona molte volte. Do you like Verona a lot? It has to be my favorite Italian city
if you don't count Venezia. You got Verona, Vicenza, Padova and Venezia all in a row.
All great wonderful cities and all relativamente close to each other.

If you're ever in California there will be a place for you to stay.

I'll learn how to use this website yet. Sorry for not getting back sooner. I appreciate your returns to everyone. I livein Williamsport, PA.
I'll get on your web. Grazie

Grazie per il incoraggiamento, Villa. Tu sei veramente un bravo
uomo, molto gentile. Tua amica, TangoBunny
