Conjugating the verbs is my real stumbling block, and I'm still only using present tense! We've not ventured into past or future tenses yet, which will be a nightmare I'm sure!

Tango Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 14 minutes ago, busabeast said: How long you lived over there now? I've lived here 2 years, but the first year was nearly all lockdowns, so I didn't really come into contact with many people. Initially I tried learning from books and audio books, but it really wasn't helping. I bit the bullet earlier this year and am now taking lessons via Zoom once a week with a French teacher, to give a more structured learning approach. It's slow progress, but it is progress I guess. I get frustrated with myself over how slow the progress is, but that's counterproductive. Hopefully I'll get there eventually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try to learn a little Spanish years ago..........went to the bar and asked for coffee con leche por favor......he said "your Spanish is quite good......but we speak Mallorcan".....shot down in flames......I never bothered after that.......did not tip the twat either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Biggest prob I remember with that engine was the distributor. The bearing would wear so you had no gap on the points at one lobe and then 50 thou at the next. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
