Nice to know! Many thanks.

Since I moved Blog from Italy to its new home, I’ve been following things via my site statistics – I like these things. From the beginning of October to now my kind readers have been hanging around for an average of over 4 minutes. And I got over 2,800 page views in the same period.
I just wanted to say thanks for devoting some of your time to reading my ravings! I appreciate it, I really do.

There is nothing, I think, that can give an aspiring writer, such as myself, such pleasure as simply being read. I think writers are a type of performer, but possibly without the guts or opportunity to stand up in front of an audience. I’m no exception to this.

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

Cheers!

Alex – the aspiring writer.
