Well, I've read this studiously from start to finish over a period of many weeks, and I have to be honest - I don't think I speak a single word more of Italian than I did when I started.
I wonder if all the other books I read have a similar non - effect on me?
That in itself is possibly the only thing worth pondering on......
Ciao.
