Can ' old dogs' learn new tricks? Or is it too late to learn when you're over 40?
TOM VERNON does a crash course in Italian and compares himself with a pair of novice sculptors, a housewife learning to swim, an ex-steelworker learning to be a carpenter and a mature student in her first year at university.
Commentary written and spoken by TOM VERNON
An inspiring little production ... Mr Vernon 's commentary was a model of restrained wit and perception
