Michael, very impressive, man. I’ve been following your progress from the beginning. I am a firm believer in the Pronunciation –> Pimsleur structure —> Dive in Language w/ Scripts approach. Bravo!
I am also an introvert and have followed your progress with interest. I’m leaving Sydney for Rio in 4 weeks and am feeling quite nervous but you give me a little hope! Thanks.
Loved the case study but waiting for the course italian!!! Is there a date yet?
