Coordinator: Good afternoon, Fernbank Adult Education Centre, evening classes office. How can I help? Caller: Hello, I'd like to enrol on one of your language courses, please, the beginners' Italian one. Coordinator: Lovely, let's get you booked in. Could I take your name? Caller: Yuki Nakamura. Coordinator: Could you spell your surname for me? Caller: Yes. N-A-K-A-M-U-R-A. Coordinator: Nakamura, thank you. And a contact number in case we need to reach you? Caller: It's 0141 496 2277. Coordinator: Let me read that back, 0141 469 2277? Caller: Not quite, it's 496, not 469. So that's 0141 496 2277. Coordinator: Got it, thank you. So the course is Italian for beginners, that's a ten-week course running on Tuesday evenings. Caller: That's the one. What time does it start? Coordinator: It starts at half past six, 6.30pm, and runs for an hour and a half. Caller: And which room is it in? Coordinator: It's in room fourteen, on the ground floor near reception. Caller: Great. How much does the course cost? Coordinator: The full ten-week course is a hundred and twenty pounds, payable when you enrol. There's also an advanced Italian course at the same price, if that's of interest. Caller: No, beginners is right for me. I've never studied it before. Coordinator: Understood. Caller: Is there a deadline to sign up? Coordinator: Yes, enrolment closes on the fourteenth of October, since the course starts the following week. Caller: Okay, I'll get that sorted before then. Thank you. Coordinator: You're welcome, we look forward to seeing you on Tuesdays!
