Message from Mr Lynch

The Tandem groups are at Piazza dell'Orologio, 7 (and not at piazza dell'Orologio 8, as I mistakenly indicated in the previously).

Course book

Well, Mr Lynch now tells me that the ISBN number of English File Digital Intermediate 3rd Edition Student's Book and Workbook and answer key to workbook is:
9780194519946
this is slightly different from the one he originally gave out.

So I think you should simply make sure that the title is right and you have

English File Digital Intermediate 3rd Edition Student's Book and Workbook and answer key
