Just curious really, but wondered how many people on here speak a second (or more language), beyond the stage of ordering beer, snickers and grapefruit?

It’s something I’ve always wanted to be able to do, but even though I did A-level French, I’ve forgotten most of it and now struggle to hold a decent conversation without reverting to ‘Franglais.’ :oops:

Maybe we should have a whip round to subsidize one lesson with Pablo or anyone else here, and put us all out of our misery.

The extra cash might save the bank of Mum and Dad from bankruptcy and contribute to the 'Insure the Golf GTI Fund' too :D

Glad it isn't just me who was wondering that.... :D

Congratulations, and hope you have a fantastic time for the rest of your holiday / honeymoon :D

Wow - it sounds like you had an amazing time and congratulations on the medal! :D

Next stop Vancouver 2010? :lol:

It seems to work fine for me :D

I'm not sure where you are going, or exactly how much this would cost, but have you considered maybe booking a couple of hours private lessons each day for your two daughters, and then skiing together for the rest of the day? You may find that with virtually 1:1 tuition they progress a lot faster, even if they do spend fewer hours in ski school.

Failing that, mixing teenagers and adults in a group needn't be a disaster, but as with any group lesson, it depends very much on the group and the instructor. When I was away in January, our group ranged from mid teens up to late 50s and we had a great time together.

Good luck with whatever option you go for :D

Awww :D
