    Now it’s time the address the issue of English course costs.

    First of all, we should focus on the pain points.

    I want to give you a heads up about it: this course is too expensive for a few people.

    If ony they knew they would pull it off also working from home….

    Who wants to get the ball rolling asking for more partecipants?

    Yes, I think that pronunciation in Tuscany, as a rule, has been always considered as the clearest dilect in Italy (Tuscany dialect as the cradle of Italian language). However the most snobbery dialect within Tuscany, in particular, is the dialect talked in Siena, which is the clearest dialect talked in Tuscany.

    I haven’t personally felt discriminated for my accent, however, people outside Tuscany immediately recognize our dialect.

    However, dialect we speak here in Arezzo, in my opinion, doesn’t sound so pleasent and I don’t like when I hear our intonation in TV; I don’t like at all.

    Sorry, I didn’t catch what you said

    You said 37%, did you?

    Sorry, does “possible” mean either “feasible” or that it could happen depending on something?
