Dear visitor,

Good morning.

The visit to the Etruscan exhibition went very well. There were 11 of us, just right for everyone to have a chat about their recollections from school history compared with the reality of the exhibits.

Our Newsletter boosted attendance to the Ufizzi exhibition in Madrid by around 5 or 6 people, at least! Two or three people from Barcelona who were going to Madrid took advantage of the information in the Newsletter and visited the Ufizzi Gallery exhibition in CaixaForum Madrid.

Do you remember that I said that for the next event we would do it on a Saturday? The idea is to go somewhere for around 12.00 have an hour to an hour and a half visit and then those who want to can stay for a light lunch. All in English...well mostly in English!

The question is, when? Here are 3 alternatives:
- Barcelona: June 28, September 27 or October 4
- Madrid: July 5, September 20 or October 11

Can you drop me a quick email to tell me your preference? Just use the Reply/Responder button. Based on the replies that I receive, we will choose the most popular date for Barcelona and Madrid.

If there are enough people I will make the necessary arrangements and let you know the suggested day and time. Friends, family and colleagues are more than welcome. Don't worry about English levels! There are always plenty of people ready to help with a translation, if needed.

Obviously, until we know the date, we won't know what the event will be! Probably another exhibition at CaixaForum, but who knows? Maybe something else! In any case, there will be one in Barcelona and one in Madrid, if we have enough numbers.

Summer offer for insane! people!

Sometimes we continue to do the same thing and obtain the same results as always. This should be no surprise. However, so many people try to improve their English by doing more or less the same thing in slightly different disguises.

I sometimes wonder if they are insane!

So to help you to try something different, so that you get different results, we are running a Special Summer Offer during June and July. The offer closes on Friday, June 27 at 15.00. Don't miss it!

Sign up for the PhonePill Summer Campaign and for every 2 PhonePills that you follow during June and July, we will give you 1. Yes, give. No charge. But only until Friday, June 27 at 15.00.

There is no danger of overdose with PhonePill. We have some people who do 2 per day, to great effect! Tell your family, friends and colleagues! To take PhonePill you must be over 18.

Call Diego to find out more: 93 238 71 40.

I would very much appreciate your feedback about this Newsletter and any questions or suggestions that you have. Also, please let me know if you like the exercises that I started to include in the last two or three Newsletters. Do feel free to write in your own language, or in English if you prefer.
