Must have taken quite some restraint!<br><br>We haven't learnt such valuable vocabulary as "Good Morning mein heir have you seen my granny's chip shop it used to be around here...somewhere." I'm sure it will follow shortly after we learn the German for "I'm sorry I have no idea why English people are obsessed with talking about the war" and "Hello fellow holiday maker, I would like to apologize for my lobster coloured topless english friend in the union jack shorts who has just vomited in your cooler bag, he is most unwell".

Apparently it is true that the best way to learn a language it to live in a country were it's spoken. I went to a good school, it had nothing to do with that...just that I was missing the conversation part, which at the end is just as important as knowing grammar. After staying four weeks in Europe I was a lot more fluent! Wish you the best.<br><br>Costa Rica HQ Adam,

When asked, what are your hobbies? I normally just flick through the text book and pick out a few examples that apply. You go hardcore though (and tell the truth)! looking forward to the class where they ask you about your job. Goodluck explaining that one ;)<br><br>Anyway, im impressed you are back in the game. You will have to teach me a few phrases if and when im back! Classic!!
