    I've no idea why Italian appeals to me more than any other language, just seems more romantic! Is the OU course suitable for beginners DC?

  • Yes true, it is. CD's, two books all very easy reading. Lots about the culture, which puts loads in context. The course book was Colloquial Italian .

    The drawback for me was that you had use headphones/mic for tutorials, which is understandable, to learn a language you need speak it. But time, space and undisturbed tutorial time wasn't happening in this house !

    In moments of renewed enthusiam I pick it up and start gesticulating, but I would love to go to an evening class and learn it face-to face.

    Oh I can empathise with that DC - I have a hard time getting time and space to read my course books at the moment! Wonderful summer holidays....

    Have you got a college close to you? I would imagine any evening classes would be due to start in September, might be worth a look?

  • Some day True, is on my 1001 list :)
    I hope you get a chance to learn one too, I read if you learn Italian Spanish is easier and then French is easier from there. I'd love to be one of those multi lingual people !

    I'm so glad I get to come home on my lunch break! Need some serious cheering up, am very miserable at work at the moment. Hopefully it's just first day back blues. Time for a quick cuppa then back :(
