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.

Hi Maurilio, I am also interested to improve my English. I am curious to know if you didn't know anything of English.

Potresti provare a incontrare un club o un partner di scambio anche nella città in cui vivi. Mi sembra che l'italiano è abbastanza popolare in Inghilterra. Magari c'è anche un centro universitario di lingue, dove si può frequentare lezzioni non troppo costosi. Riguardo al tuo testo, Irena ha fatto ottimo lavoro. Soltanto posso aggiungere: non "mounths", ma "months". E anche "read a newspaper". Non è facile, ma se lavori ogni giorno, i resultati non tarderanno ad arrivare! In bocca al lupo.
