Progress is slowing as I get into a rhythm with my new job. However, I'm still making
progress - haven't broken the chain in 89 days!

Yesterday I saw a guy on the beach reading Undici Minuti, so I interrupted him and had a
small chat. Turns out he is from Milan on business.

How is conversation with what you've learnt so far? What topics did you cover? Sorry to
be nosey :)

My conversation is still at a pretty basic level chiefly because it's my worst and
least developed skill. I imagine I could talk about most things that didn't require a
specific set of vocabulary. Execution and fluency is still poor but if my life depended
on it I could get across most day-to-day thoughts.

Had a nice dinner with two Italians the other night and got a lot of - much needed -
conversation practice.

I noticed you are doing some extensive reading. What books are you reading at the
moment. In another thread there is a discussion on whether mass amounts of reading aids
fluency. I am about to start myself and have all the Harry Potter books in both English
and Italian (PDF form). Let me know if you would like me to send them to you.
How did you feel your dinner conversation went?
