    I am using Pimsleur, which is generally considered to be the best. It's generally an all-audio course as in you can listen to it just audio to learn. 90 x 30min lesson to take you from beginner to advanced (which should be something like fluent as Italian is a very simple language).

    I also recommend some of the linguaphone courses - they are good too. Right now, as I am doing the language course while I work, I use Pimsleur then I am going to use Linguaphone at home to get a bit better at reading and writing.

    I'll PM you some more info.

    So,

    Hows your progress then?
    Despite all the matches this weekend, I've been unfortunate to have cash stuck in transit...

    Also how come it takes a bookie say 4 days after attempting to withdraw to let you know that they need documents to prove your identity? I'm sure its just a game to withhold your funds for longer, that and if they needed to confirm your ID, they should surely do this before you place any bets!

    Apart from that, scrimped and wagered my remaining funds for a measly £2 arb...

    My MB progress is far from huge to be honest, but my life progress is massive.

    This whole thing was as much about disciplining myself and working towards a goal as it was about anything else. Money was the original goal and is still a major aim but I am just so busy and content with everything I am doing right now that I am already feel like a rich man.

    I am assimilating languages pretty rapidly... going for a holiday abroad soon to practice.

    I am just really concerned that I have started this blog and then disappointed people as the original aim is now just one of the many aims and I hope I haven't let anybody down but there are only so many hours in the day to get all this done.

    When I come back from my holiday, I am going to immediately look to start one of the 2nd possible income streams going to see if it will get me anywhere. I need about 3 elements in my life to come together before I can action this, and I am hoping that will happen in 2-3 weeks.
