Dirk dalla Germania dice...


It rings... There's apparently someone on the other end, but difficult to make out. ehmmm... hallo? Who am I talking to... is there someone? Liviana, is it you? You hear the typical noise when someone is tapping on the microphone, except that it is the phone. Hallo? Thinking... oh, it can only be Liviana, must be the interference from the Alps. I have never figured out how they were able to run the cable through them...HI Liviana!!! Very nice to hear from you. I'm doing fine. Quite busy with work. When the routine embraces it's pretty much it. Time flies and it even seems to gain speed. I'm not going to embarrass myself talking in Italian, even if I think that you might be a little proud of your efforts. I've actually applied what I've learnt from you at work. Yes, work! Helps a great deal, especially during the breaks at the coffee bar. Anyway, I certainly had a super great time at Caorle - one of my favorite places in the entire Italy. And since I'm quite a bit around travelling in the country I like to pretend that I know what I'm talking about. I don't remember if I really took the time let you know how much I appreciate your teaching when I left in June this year. Your patience and your flexibility to go on a tangent with me away from the school book topic is legendary. I rarely had so much fun in class and yet really learnt something. Thank you so much for allowing this while keeping focus on teaching grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Excellent job! I liked it very much indeed. Yours Dirk
