No, but I'd like to. Jan 27

I would love to learn how to make pottery. I live in a part of the world where this would be a relatively easy thing to achieve without travelling too far from home. Imagine the joy of giving other people misshapen ceramic mugs, jugs and bowls as gifts!

Yes, several Jan 27

Yes, in addition to learning Italian, I also attend dance and fitness classes and am a member of our local agility club with my dog, which is so much fun.

Take a class, or attend a class? Jan 27

I understood "take a class" to mean 'teach a class'. Is the meaning of 'attend a class' American? Has that meaning taken over in England?

Whether it is and has or not, I still don't, but participate in various activities groups.

Tango! Jan 27

I am in Tango Argentino class and I do tango workshops. And I'm learning Italian, because of international familiy relationships.

Yes! Jan 27

I take dance lessons, and I get training for my marathons and triathlons.
I would lose my mind otherwise!
