    Hi Mary1970! I am trying to learn Italian to keep up with Casa Mika 2; I started when I lived in UK and watched Inspector Montalbano with subtitles. Loved that Luca Zingaretti (actor playing Insp Montallbano) was a guest on Casa Mika. Anyway when I moved to France I concentrated on improving my Frenhc. Now I hope there is room in my head for a little Italian! If not I will rely on the subtitles - can't thank the MFC subtuitle team enough, they are great x

    Hello Fan1955! I'm sure there is room enough in your head for a little Italian??

    Also, about what is his first language. He has said that he dreams in French, that is usually a good test of your first language. BUT when he is speaking another language (not English) and is stuck for a word he pauses and says UMMM. That word umm, or errr, is a common filler in English, i.e; you use it when you don't know quite how to continue. So it is a good test of what language he is most at home with, possibly English. One of the reasons I admire him so much is his language abiliity. I am a language teacher myself and am in awe of him. Now he is fluent in Italian too!

    I think English is the language he is most at home, too.

    By the way, I am a la guage teacher, too.????
