Beginners? Italian language

[Fwomble]

Hi Anyone know of a friendly local Italian language class?

Not locally but the Italian Cultural Institute offers free beginners classes every year, so their trainee teachers get some practice. I did it some years back, v good start.

CityLit and Mary Ward Centre do good Italian classes.

Not sure of anywhere local.

My mother swears by Michel Thomas CDs having done a few beginners classes in the past and not felt she was getting anywhere.
