Context

Finally I found in Michael my perfect conversation partner in Michael. Our start was so and so so-so (so-and-so refers to an unnamed person). He was discontinuous but at the end he was ok.(the next line already explains this idea) He seemed introverted and shy at first, but he turned out is to be a good conversationalist. We can could speak talk about everything! Music, literature, cinema, traveling, etc etc (one etc is sufficient ;) ). (Also his level in italian is quite good)("he speaks Italian fairly well" sounds better) thus we can switch (from Italian to English (and vice versa))(you could also say "switch between Italian and English) while mantaining the topic of the conversation. My English is improving and I can verify it in every lesson at school. Now it is easier to understand my teacher at school and to do the exercises. The only thing that I find difficult is to put into practice what I learnt at school. For example, yesterday we studied past modals such as "he may have been a writer". It's not a common tense in colloquial conversation ergo so ("ergo" is rarely used; it's much simpler to use "so")I would need to find the right context. I invited Michael to an exhibition for tomorrow evening. Maybe the interpretation of a painting is would be good as an exercise! Let you know tomorrow!
