Just a quickie to let you in our latest stunt: taking Italian language lessons from schools in Italy via skype:
http://www.learn-italian-online.com/The teachers specialize in teaching Italian to foreigners. They've even created their own book, in Italian only, but with an answer book in several languages for those few exercises needing it.
Its surprisingly effective and fun! So if you plan a trip to a country whose language you need to brush up on, keep skype in mind.
