I’m writing at the speed of light this morning, well almost, as I have to be on the other side of town in 45 mintues for the annual meeting of ASILS, which this year is being held in Bologna.
It’s a chance to exchange gossip and moans with other school owners, and there’s always an excellent lunch.
So, to business: today’s ‘Italian conversation with transcript’ will show you how to book a taxi over the phone.

Next, ‘grazie mille’ to everyone who emailed me their ‘vote’ on paying online via Paypal or Amazon.
It was so much fun to hear from people all over the world, shame though it was on such a dry subject.
Club members, all 4360 of you, please feel free to email me any time with questions about Italian (I’ll ask my wife), learning Italian, teaching Italian, our online resources, our ebooks and online lessons, or just to say ‘Ciao’.
In fact, especially just to say ‘Ciao’, because that’s really nice!
Oh, and for what it’s worth, about a third of you thought Amazon was better than Paypal, another third were happy with Paypal and didn’t think I needed to change, and some people in the middle would be happy to have a choice.
So, I’ll be looking to add the Amazon option at some point…
