Ciao tutti,
The 5 day course was wonderful. The tone was set by the 5 tutors - all very competent, charming, light hearted and fun-loving. They, and the odd helper prepared the delicious Italian style cooked lunches daily (there were over 50 students) and also the picnic, with wine on the final day, when, instead of study classes we all improvised on subjects such as immigration into Italy, and difficulties of living there. One of the best things to come out of it is that my new classmate Jenny, from Omaha Beach can take me down and back again about every Wednesday noon, for a Conversation Course at the Dante'e Society - run by Sandra!! I feel so thrilled that I will have the opportunity to keep practicing la bella lingua.
Love to all,
Barbara
