All, I thought I'd ask ur advice on this matter and some help too.
Since I arrived in Geneva I took some french classes, and I able to speak in French (having normal conversation and soemties work related ones) pretty fluently (even thou with the typical italian mistakes). I Can't Write in french thou, and it's quite frustrating. I was thinking about getting over it and start learning french again and maybe taking the DELF test. Is there any self learn method/material I can use? Or do u recommend a school? Also ... is it worth taking the test (any 'competitive advantages')?
Thanks!

i know that one class at my school (inlingua) is currently focusing on writing, as everyone's a good speaker. maybe it's worth a look? other than that, from a professional point of view, i can say that having any kind of language exam on your CV is good, as it shows a) your level, and b) that you were motivated enough to try (and succeed), especially here in GVA where, on an every day basis, there isn't much need for French.
hope that helps :)
