I have been learning Italian for a couple of years so am beyond the basics but stuck in various situations.

Thanks so much for the top tips.

Hi Mrs. T,
I know the feeling! I did some basic classes for a couple of years umpty-ump years ago, tried doing a bit of a refresher course at home between visits to Italy but found myself becoming more fluent whilst I was actually there. However, it does leave some gaps in your learning and sometimes even the most basic things can seem to evaporate when you are juggling with a particular dialect, too. Still, at least I can hold some kind of reasonable conversation over the 'phone now (though basic) and can, it seems, be reasonably understood!
I'm sure you'll be OK.
Ciao,
Francesca.
