1. Not only I haven't read it: I had never heard of it.

    At the moment, I'm still trying to get my hands over a cheap De La Parra "U2Live" book.
  2. You have to read it. It is the most amazing book that I've ever read. Written by Bill Carter, whom I'm sure you know (Sarajevo-satellites guy). It is an amazing portrait of that so unique city. It isn't really about the war, but more about the people living their lives to 110% during the longest siege in modern history.

I can have a fluid conversation without problem. It's just that my written skills are excellent and my hearing skills are just "good", and I don't want a "good" mark. I want an EXCELLENT one
  10. You are miles better than most of your fellow countrymen. Miles.
  11. I know (although you only know my written&read English ). But some weeks ago I had some serious trouble to understand an Australian guy (he was speaking fast as hell, that has to be said) and I realized that it's my main weakness. I want to improve that before applying to anything... although I don't know how can I
  12. Sergio, go down to the countryside in Ireland, Cork or Limerick or something like that. If you can understand them you're as good as any I have trouble figuring out what they say even.
