Hi, I'll be coming back from Italy in March. Having lived here a while I've picked up the lingo and was wondering how to go about getting some official recognition for it?
Any ideas? Do I have to sign up for a full course at a college? If possible I'd rather get the revision guides to brush up on the exact content of the exam (I assume "Don't break my balls" isn't part of the curriculum) and a couple of brush-up lessons followed by an exam.
Any ideas?
My grammar's pretty good but I may need to brush up on vocabulary.

I'm thinking of doing something similar with German. I'd try the local further education college, they can probably best advise on your options.

In Glasgow, there is Alliance Francaise for French and the Goethe Institut for German. There may be a similar, Italian orientated place near you?
