It was my pleasure to have a class with Jasmine! She is a motivated, and curious student, and did a great job with the Bulgarian basics today!

    Informal language exchange groups in Italy?
    Hi! I would like to speak and practise my Italian as much as possible when I travel to Italy on holiday. I've been quite a few times in the past, but always as a "tourist" i.e. ordering in coffee shops etc.
    I'd really appreciate the opportunity to meet up with locals, perhaps in a language group, where I can speak speak speak, and get to know more about the local lingo and area at the same time. It would be great to hear if anyone else has done the same thing, or knows of any trusted groups where you can find locals, or advanced Italian speakers who are happy to act as a guide, or hold language meetup groups in the non-touristy places. I'm looking for something other than a school or course, or work experience e.g. Helpex or Woofers.
    I love all of Italy, but am particularly interested to hear of anything in Bari or Naples. Thanks!

    I'm reading a book called Lykke at the moment. It basically says that the happiest people are those that have enough to enjoy life (not too much!).  Having enough money (not more that you need), and enough freedom at work (to make your own decisions e.g. work from home, or work flexible hours), freedom in your home city/town (a place to walk and be outdoors). We don't need too much of everything, we just need enough. Yes, of course you can choose how you react to situations. You can win £100 and think "Wow, I won a hundred pounds! How lucky am I?" or you can focus on the negative, "Wow, I only won a hundred pounds? That's not enough!".  

    I don't think anyone is expected to be happy all the time though. The beauty of life is in the ups and downs.

    Tell me a word or phrase from your language that you think is funny...

    My word is:

    Cacamwci  /kækæmwkiː/  - a Welsh word that means burdock. Burdock is a plant. You can get Dandelion and Burdock drinks in the UK - although I think they only contain flavourings - not actual dandelion and burdock!

    Most of the Welsh words that start with 'cac' or 'cach' tend to be rude words. Although 'cacen' means cake. There's nothing rude about cake, there's always time for cake! ;-)

    Words in the English language that I despise are:

    'moist' and 'tissue'

    I've heard a few others mention that they don't like the word 'moist' either. It's got a horrible sound to it!

    Your friend asks you: "What do you want to do tonight?" You ask: "Do you want to watch talent shows?" Friend: "Oh no! I would rather watch a film!" :-) You see your friend You watch the TV If the talent show is at the theatre (not TV) then you can say: "Do you want to watch the talent show?" or... "Do you want to see the talent show?" (do you want to go to the talent show?) Do I want to watch talent shows? Personally no. We have many talent shows on TV in the UK. Simon Cowell hosts many of them. The shows are very tacky and the talent is not very good. I would rather go to the cinema to see a film ;-) What about you Helen? Do you want to watch talent shows on TV, or go to the cinema to see a film?

    Hi Hermione Lu!

    How do you find a job that you like? Hmm, that's a tough question, and I think everyone might have a different answer. There are many jobs across the globe, and you can choose a job you like and also a city that you want to live in. I'm sure that most people want to be a success, and sometimes you do have to leave home and the people you love. It is really hard to decide. I agree. It depends on your priorities, interests, goals and motivations. It depends on a lot of things. How do you lead a more significant life? By living with meaning perhaps. Live in a way that agrees with your own priorities, interests, goals and motivations. If you are in harmony with yourself, everyone else will understand your choices and be happy for you.

    Hmm, a very thought-provoking question for a Saturday morning :-)
