‘‘A little twist in the tail’’
Eirwen is now looking for you instead of lestyn. You will not even recognise her - she has stopped breathing fire and gone are her forked tongue and tail. She is purring and watching re-runs of ‘‘a fish called Wanda’’ and practicing saying ''spaghetti, ravioli, barolo and brunello - in anticipation of great things to come.

Auguri e arrivederci,

@JustinandEirwen dove siete voi adesso? In Slovenia o o avete lasciati gia? (Where are you now? In Slovenia or you have left already?)
Let’s test this from my end … Windows 8, odd Chrome which doesn’t always “obay” … Let’s see what comes out for me …
EDIT
Aha, the form does show for me (well, I’m on the PC not on the phone, mind) and I could probably subscribe however one tiny question: was PayPal not set for that or it “vanished” from the horizon for who knows what reason? I see only Credit card option. Not that I mind but I’d rather go with PayPal if possible. (if it isn’t too big problem though)
Your wish is my comand … then credit card it shall be … Hope you don’t have problems when someone sends money directly to your PayPal e-mail. If yes, I would like to know.
eirwen and i are headed to the hills of julie andrews- that is austria for all those young things that haven’t seen the sound of music. we are going for the cool mountain air at an affordable price - and for me to start immersing myself in german. next year i refuse to be the only person at the table who can’t speak german!!

Ahh, so no Slovenia in the near future. Yah, I can admit “we” aren’t too affordable though and that’s what I feared when rather giving you that site I’ve given you the link to then suggesting something on my own.
Have a pleasant time then…
No, that’s usually fine - they’re just particularly painful for recurring payments of any kind… 
I’ve heard that from others too, especially now when they devided from eBay and became their own company.
I have been pondering doing Spanish through Welsh - to make me feel less like I’m being unfaithful 
But I want to give the Welsh just a little longer to bed in (and then I’d like to get my French back before adding another language into the mix).
Syniad da, Sara. I might well try Spanish through Welsh at some stage too. I’d forgotten that was available.
The Spanish through Welsh course is totally fun. I think I have done all of those lessons. It’s been awhile though.
I need to give these a second try.
I last tried them 2 years ago and melted my brain at lesson 3. Which makes me wonder what the unseen benefits of learning a 3rd language in a language learned as adult are. At the very least it must be keeping the brain youthful.
Brainmelting for me although I can English quite (very) well. Exhausting at times and fun at other times … sometimes comming to the situations when you simply exclaim “What did he say?” not all of a sudden “understand” what tutor wants from you to say. 
Yah, that’s how it is, but interesting at the same time though. Well, this kind of learning obviously holds my brains of the higher “remembering” level, then it was before. Hmmm … one day might even remember more, who knows.
Funny thing is, I don’t actually count English as a foreign language that I’m using to learn a third language.
That Spanish through Welsh did give me some brain melting moments, when I didn’t know what language to use to say the sentences. 
I’m interested to try it because my other fluent foreign language (French) has taken a bit of a back seat while I’ve been learning Welsh. I can still understand it spoken and written, but wrenching the words out of the back of my mind to use them to speak or write is hard (when the Welsh words jump out instead, going ‘ooh, me, me, pick me!’) I’m hoping that learning another language through Welsh will keep it active at the same time.
But then brain-melting is a definite danger. Just as well I do the lessons with earphones in - it’ll stop any leakage.
Danger of 
then (read explosion as I didn’t find equivalent emo). Be careful! - hehe
I know that Finnish is not considered a Scandinavian language, although I think Finland can be considered part of Scandinavia geographically, but I’ve often found that Scandinavians are so good with English, it’s more like a “second first language” to them than a true “second language”. Similarly the Dutch and maybe some others.
I think the principle of learning a 3rd language through the medium of a second language is fantastic…even if perhaps not so easy in practice - but definitely worth a try. And it looks like SSi is going to give us this opportunity to try. 
Hopefully I have not been a catalyst to a major diplomatic incident. I happen to mention to a Russian friend that I had a good bottle of Polish vodka. Scornfully, she pulled out a bottle of Russian vodka and said ‘‘this my friend is the real thing’’. Anyway feeling the benefit of a few ice-cold shots (I was instructed to down each one in one gulp) I suggested how nice it would be to be able to speak Russian. YOU ARE NOT A SPRING CHICKEN was the reply.
So the challenge is on - if Aran takes you up on your kind offer to help with SSiRussian I am offering myself as a guinea pig for ‘‘high intensity Russian’’.
Then I am going to invite my friend for some shots of vodka at my place, bring out my bottle of vodka (provocatively Polish) and break into fluent Russian.
I have a dream …
Justin
Oh, you can count on my help, anytime:) This is one of the best reasons I have ever heard for learning to speak Russian!
@JustinandEirwen don’t forget to have some sour cucumbers at hand. They (I’ve seen this on my own eyes) cure “vodka” troubles (read if there’s too much of it) very well. At least what one Russian man said to my father is the magic - eating sour cucumbers along with drinking Vodka does it. (and he drunk a lot of vodka, believe me). So, if he lied (and had some other trick though) then I lie too.
