If you subscribed to an magazine, be sure to check its online archive (the Time Archive is very good). However, e-reading will never be as good as the old things, paper books and magazine.

Your words are quite daunting believe me. I meant exactly what I said. You can't learn to speak or write in Italian by reading Italian newspapers. I myself am not able to understand the meaning of most of the sentences in there and, if you want to learn grammar, forget them. YoHf Joined on Wed, Oct 26 2005 Senior Member 3,347 Shinichi Okazaki.
