First notebook
I'm Maurilio and I'm Italian but I'm living in the UK because my wife is working here.
I'd like to speak English because I believe I' don't have the confident confidence when I speak English.
Six mounths months ago ... I didn't understand nothing anything, but now I understand something a bit but very very little few words.
My problem is that I can't speak whit with English (and Scottish!) people because I don't know the people here.
I wacht watch TV, I listen to the radio, sometimes I read a newspaper but when I try to speak .... it is a tragedy :)
Before when ringing the phone At first, when the phone rang, I didn't answer it.. I was sure that I would not have understood anything.
when someone speaks with me I don't translate the word in my head but when I must answer I need to translate and it is a mistake.
So, thanks for your corrections!!

I'm Maurilio, and I'm Italian but (or you can say: "and") I'm living in uk because my wife is working here. I'd like to speak English because I believe I' don't have the confident think I am not confident enough when I speak English it.
Six mounths ago I didn't understand nothing anything, now I understand something but only a very little few words. (or you can say: "now I understand more but still not enough to be comfortable...").
My problem is that I can't speak whit with English people because I don't know the people anyone here.
I wacht watch TV, I listen to the radio, sometimes I read a the newspaper but when I try to speak .... a tragedy :)
Before, whenever ringing the phone rang I didn't wouldn't even answer it .. I was sure that I would not have understood anything.
When someone speaks with me I don't translate the word but when I must answer I need to translate and it is a mistake. (hmmmm....not sure what you are trying to say here. You could maybe say: "Whenever I speak with other people I fail to translate words correctly and I often make mistakes.")
So, thanks for your corrections!!

P.S. Non ti preoccupare Maurilio, è così per noi tutti! Non è facile imparare un altra lingua ma potrebbe diventare meno stressante se hai un po' più pazienza con te stesso e anche se trovi una persona con cui puoi parlare e diventare più sicuro. Italki è un ottimo sito e sono sicura che ti può aiutare.
