Live at Pompeii


We do not learn a foreign language to write exercises. We study it to communicate and to obtain news on the items that excite it.

For example, listen to David Gilmour, a British musician. He recalls his recent concert in the old Roman town of Pompeii.

"It's a fantastic building”, Gilmour says. “It's an extraordinary place to be because it was preserved exactly as it was. If you visit any other antiquity-type sites throughout the world, they're very damaged with what's gone on over the centuries since they were abandoned. But this one was just, like, sealed, so you're looking at rock surfaces and the carving of letters and names in the stones looks like it was done yesterday."
