							| Hilarious my dear Douglas !   But if Italian is as easy to learn as Spanish (at least in my humble opinion) I am not sure French is as simple... So which one of French or English would make you craziest ?   My laughing muscles are bowing to such a great column !   Maryse. |  25 Jan 2012

							| Thanks, I enjoyed reading the column but mostly being introduced to Maggie Van Ostrand !
I  have read some of her other culumns and I really enjoyed it. I think some of the material might be used with adult students. |  26 Jan 2012
