Ciao Annamezzo

I really panicked after reading your post!

I learnt (some) Italian a few years ago and haven't looked at it for a long time but want to take it up again so have just bought a cassette player off Ebay so I can rerun all my tapes and hopefully get up to speed again. But I can't write it or hold a conversation about real life!!!! But I would love to. I do have some books of short stories which I used to struggle through so will try them again.
