    Well I had problems in Italy. Or I would have had if we hadn't an Italian with our group. But Italians are so helpful anyway so they make up for not speaking much english (in Rome at least - Venezia, Bologna and Florence were better). What was funny is they mistook me for Italian and when our Italian friend asked them something they most of the time turned at me and started speaking addresing to me. I would just smile politely and let my friend understand what they were saying He was Italian but he looked like more like an Austrian, whereas I looked more Italian in their eyes I guess It was funny 2 out of 3 times this would happen.

      Makeo, I noticed your "Makeo aprenderes Español PBEM" thread. PBEM is a great way to practice saying, "Estoy acabado (+1)" over and over and over…

          You have to be careful. I am getting fairly good in speaking French now, so often I start a conversation fairly fluently (I have time to think ahead). But then the think you really can speak fluently and machine-gun out a few phrases in rapid succession. I don't know if it is the accent or the speed or what, but I get lost very quickly...

            When I am in a foreign country and I find that I have no idea what everyone is talking about I fake a French accent and just start acting really rude...

              While we're at it....

              Since I'll be living in the most Eurocom city in Spain (Barcelona) next year, can any of the Canucks on the board give me some advice on how to speak Canadian, just in case someone decides to start trouble
