I've just registered in your forum. I'm sorry I don't speak Italian (yet). My sister and I are visiting Calabria for holiday in late october. We plan to visit a language course before. We both are really looking forward to our stay!
I once started with a self learner's course Italian but I didn't get very far. I only remember essential sentences like:
Cè un albergo qui vicino?
La camera degli hospiti e occupata.
Un po d'Italiano con un fiasco di vino.
If you are interested in reading German books please check out my bookshelf !
I hope I will be able to practice my rudimentary language skills once I've started my course!
