caroline i was teasing, sort of - "carolinadivenezia" has a nice ring though!

can't you just sign in as a new person, keeping the old profile or is there something technical that stops one doing that?

you probably know this, but there is a language school in Dorsoduro somewhere:

http://www.istitutovenezia.com/en/

I looked at them when i was researching language schools and ended up on their newsletter mailing list which proved very interesting. I don't know if there are any others in Venice but they would give you somewhere to start.

Hi Ann. (Sorry to hijack your thread brirfly, Franco!) No, apparently not, sadly. Thanks - that is actually the school we've applied to! The Edinburgh ICI had offers from there and another one not actually in Venice. I realise you're proabably not near an ICI, but may be worth becoming a member of one (I think we paid c.£30 for 2)if you are thinking of doing a course in Italy - 50% off no' bad!

ICI?

Buona Pasqua a tutti!

ok, caroline, I did what I should ahve done before posting, and looked up ICI, and got the chemical company.

then i googled "ICI Edinburgh" and struck gold. Sadly there is not an "istituto italiano di cultura" in Cornwall, the nearest one is in London.

I take your point about joining the Edinburgh one anyway to get the discounts [couldn't find that on the London website, but I didn't look very hard, I have to accept].

Sorry Ann, should have elaborated!
