Italian lessons

It is ashame I never learned English grammer properly.

I am sure it would have stood me in much better stead for learning Italian. However, I am battling away. Or rather, Alison is battling away while I stare blankly at her, feeling like (as Rory put it today) a person wandering around in dense fog. But I can, I promise, already say quite a lot of stuff and recognise heaps of words and I am boldly using them on unsuspecting people. I feel like I am making quite a lot more progress than when I was here last time.

Each lunchtime, I go down to have a lesson with Alison and Roberto makes me a café. But the grammer is a problem. Who has heard of auxiliary verbs? (don't answer that please). Guess I should be re learning it in the evenings rather than writing blogs.
