  • Great idea learn a bit a language of the place where you will go! I went in Sardinia only once, ten years ago. I went in Palau with my boyfriend with a motorcycle. I live in Liguria, a region in the north of Italy. Here there are very nice places and sea, but not so beautiful like sea of Sardinia! Unfortunatly it's too expensive return there for me :-(

  • Hi Manuela. Few years ago I knew a Portuguese boy, a collegue of my husband and we noticed that lots of Portuguese words are very similar with a specific dialect of our region Liguria, in the north or Italy. Very fun!

  • It could seems strange but I agree a bit with all these guys! Writing could be easier because you have more time to think and view mistakes, anyway if you don't know what write, if you have just some problems to write in your language it could be more difficult in an other language...I finished to study lots years ago so I don't know if I'd be able to write...
