Language lessons

When I first arrived Italy I understood that I have to learn Italian while living here, to make the life easier and enjoyable. During the the office hours it is all ok. But when I leave the office and and in the heart of Rome, especially when I am in the market for shopping, I realize that language is really a communication barrier in front of me.
Till today I was studying on my own. It was ok, but not efficient as I need.
Here in Italy everything is on hold during summer, even language schools. It was same at WFP. When I asked about the lessons, I am told that, they are on holiday now, and will be starting in the September. And finally today, Italian course for beginners is started. I think I was the first person registered :)
But actually this was obvious that I would attend Italian lessons, it is not the news. The news is I also started French lessons. Yes I am studying both Italian and French.
In my team two widely spoken languages, apart from English of course, are Italian and French.
A few weeks ago when we were chatting with some colleagues, one told that, I could study both. That time I didn't think that it is a good idea. But now, I see that, it was a good idea.
Last week I made my mind up and decided to take both lessons and started French lessons on Friday.
So now on Monday and Friday, I am attending French lessons, on Tuesday and Thursday attending Italian lesson.
Will see how it goes :)
