As a fellow Italian language student (novice)....this is how I translated it (without use of a dictionary I hasten to add : )

Let's hope the email I sent to the bank today requesting a new Bancomat Card is also understood - I have a feeling they may just close the account :bigergrin:
My Italian is just a wee bit better than when than when i asked my cleaning lady to "wash" the house instead of "clean" it!

[FONT=Century Gothic]Gosh you and me both! I thought ''piano'' meant [I]level, flat[/I] and couldn't understand the context when I heard it used. Then I realised it also meant [I]softly, quietly[/I] :reallyembarrassed:[/FONT]
