Can I suggest some special encouraging "graduation" for non- native speakers? Ciao Emanuela P.S. If the weather in Spain is similar to the weather today in Italy, the Juanmaria's party will be wonderful!

J juanmaria member juanmaria member J Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 163 Malaga, Spain. I have had to spend a few busy days on the ‘virtual world ‘ of work, customers, home chores etc. But, fortunately, here I am again on the ‘real world’ -it sounds like ‘matrix’- with everything ready for such an occasion. The sun shines, plenty of ‘tapas’ on the tables and a big barrel-o-words. You all were in charge of booze so don’t let me down. I know that Spain is a little far away for some of the AWAD people and I’m trying to find an equidistant place for the next party. Anyone knows Jules Verne e-mail address?. Juan Maria.

I started posting on this thread because I wanted seniority to be considered as a graduation parameter. But things went so fast that I went ‘newbie’ before writing that. The problem being a foreigner is the time spent writing. I think I can read near as quickly as a native but I spend HOURS writing. Juan Maria.

I can't guarantee the weather but it's a good place for linguaphiles: http://llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk Can't imagine what the spellchecker will do with it! PS I've just spell-checked it and it says "hub" - obviously the place for all of us then!

I did go there, and whirled away into the pronunciation, which took about two minutes! 'Hub', indeed--more like an out-of-control children's roundabout (if I got the term right) that will throw every last one of us out into the ether!

I am reminded of a piano piece that I tried to learn, knowing that it was FAR beyond my capabilities--by the time I got each successive chord (word, in your case) right, I had completely lost track of how the line should sound. And Jo is right--your posts are always read with interest, and you certainly get a gold star from me as well! There is great service in providing others with unconscious reminders to be considerate, my Dear!

I would have to spend AEONS working on a post in either a Spanish or Italian forum! And since I know only two or three words in either language, and those would get me into trouble here and almost anywhere else on the 'Net, I won't even attempt it! Keep up the excellent work.
