Everybody can teach something
Last week I spoke with two new language friends and I took one English lesson. I am working hard on my English, so I hope to see some results, too. During my last lesson, the teacher asked to me how expression have I use to say "beautiful"referred to a man. Luckly, I had just heard about it in a recording that a friend sent to me a couple of weeks ago. He was speaking about an Italian film he had just watched. In the title there was the word "bellissimo ", beatiful, and he explained that in English you can say beautiful to a woman, not to a man. For a man we have to use handsome or good-looking.And it was very clear for me... So...everybody can teach something...and I am not speaking just about the language !
Happy sunday to everybody !

Your piece is good apart from this one sentence.
During my last lesson, the teacher asked to me how expression have I use to say "beautiful"referred to a man asked me what expression to use instead of 'beautiful' when referring to a man.
Or 'asked me how to say 'beautiful' referring to a man.
Also, we say 'it was very clear to me' not 'it was clear for me'.
I hope this is helpful to you. Sorry if this is not the usual format for corrections. It is my first correction on this site because I just joined today. Happy Monday to you!

I agree, but would like to add that amongst us ladies, sometimes we may say emphatically that a guy is "beauuuuutiful" to express that he is so far beyond handsome, as if he were a work of art. ;D

One exception is when we are not just speaking of physical appearance.
So: 'He is a beautiful person" is not only possible but also a lovely sentiment!
