    I apologize for my long absence from this thread, but it was not unjustified

    with the coming back of GED priorities have changed and some other projects that were on hold are now running at full speed; furthermore, Hader as well is busy with the Curia these weeks, therefore I'm afraid that I have to postpone my classes indefinitely

    I'm truly sorry about that, but I have what spare time I have and I cannot be everywhere (yet ); I regret having to do this because usually am I man of my word, but some things have priority and we need to cope with that.

    It's cool, Flinn. No one can blame you. A man can give his word based on current circumstances, but you couldn't have known in advance that those circumstances would change and that you would be needed elsewhere.

    Damn.

    This is unfortunate. I'd definitely be down for the second class, i.e. the book-reviewing & interview one.

    yes it's still not dead though, let's hope I'll find the time for them

    for the records: it's not running the classes, but preparing them that takes a huge amount of time that I don't have ATM

    one day maybe

    fact is that running courses, if you want to do it well, takes a lot of time for preparation, time that I don't have now with my actual life

    Hey almost two years and I haven't done anything yet, what a shame..

    since I supposedly have more time now that I've retired from staff, I might well decide to give a go at the Basic Italian class, anyone interested?

    ps. if I'll fail you again, this time you are authorized to stone me

    I would like to join. I think I could keep up because I took three years of Italian in high school and them some for fun at the uni, but ever since then I have mostly dabbled with Spanish. A refresher might not hurt. Except my Spanish studies. The two are really hard to learn side by side.

    So it's Akar, KA, Kilo, Sept and EKW.. looks like a good number to start the class

    Now I need to prepare a program, but in general as a first step I'd like to confirm the ideal program I made long ago, or

    - 3/5 lessons with some basic Italian grammar rules; I think that I can give you some links to where you can expand about those rules if you wish so.. we are in internet times that it makes little sense to not to exploit online info, when available

    - some 5-7 lessons focused on learning about conversational Italian

    - 1 or 2 mid term tests and a final exam

    I think we can work mainly on simple texts of your choice that you can submit and that I will help correct and thus do a sort of practical learning
    I've found a very nice source with texts and videos and I'm sure we're gonna be using it extensively

    ok so, we now have our own classroom, https://www.twcenter.net/forums/foru...-Italian-Class

    also, you should join the University Student group (my account -> permission groups -> scroll towards the bottom of the page)

    I'd say that if everybody will be up soon, we could start with a first simple lesson next week (alphabet and numbers probably, just the pronunciation)
