I wish this were more inclusive, for folks who lack a support partner/support and must depend on the kindness of strangers...

[greaterexp in reply to goatgal]

So true. I wish you lived nearby.

[Peruzzot in reply to goatgal]

I applied and it didn't require that you bring a support partner. If I'm selected to go I won't be bringing one. My husband is currently trapped in lockdown in Italy and doesn't speak English anyway. Having to constantly translate everything for him would just drain me in no time flat. I'm seriously considering ordering a learn English language course for him for Christmas. That should give him something to do during lockdown and take some pressure off of me when he comes to the USA.

[Sandydemop in reply to goatgal]

I applied and not bringing my spouse. So it is inclusive!

[goatgal]

I would sign up, but I don't have access to broadband (i.e. reliable internet), do not have a web cam (whatever that is) and haven't a clue about zoom...and I would suppose many solo octogenarians are similar. So my guess is that the course is focused on those entering their 50s and 60s who have better access to technology. I'll look forward to learning from Peruzzot's reports if she's accepted.

[Sandydemop in reply to goatgal]

Hi goatgal I'll be glad to share what I learned if they accept me.

[goatgal in reply to Sandydemop]

Thank you, you're very kind and thoughtful. This is one of those times when a spouse or a tech savvy toung'un would be exasperated with my lack of tech equipment and know how. I hope you and Perruzot are both accepted, find it valuable, and share with the forum. Thanks again.

I didn’t actually sign up, but just thought I’d pass the information on to whomever might be interested.
