The importance of friendship

Hi everyone, I'm starting this discussion because of something that happened to me yesterday night. I've always considered friendship as something important: it enriches our lives, it makes us smile and sometimes it lets us down. That's what happened to me nearly 4 years ago: I had a girlfriend, a beautiful one. I was just 15, so I had a typical teenager's crush, but obviously it was important to me. After a few months we broke up and there the story began. One of my dearest friend, maybe my bestfriend betrayed me and eventually he was engaged to her. Pretty soon, I realized I hadn't lost a girlfriend, I had lost a friend.

Now, I'm 19, I'm in love again with another girl, Giada. Yesterday night, I ran across him and of course he was with my ex-girlfriend. Guys, that was awkward. We still greet each other after a long talk we had 3 years ago, but we are not in touch anymore. 

I was in a very good mood but after that meeting, my night was ruined. I think my attitude towards people has radically changed. I hardly trust someone completely and I always stay frosty. I just have few friends, fewer than before, fewer than ever and my life sometimes seems to be "empty". 

Friendship is a big thing. Maybe it is as big as love. This is it, I needed to write this down. Sorry for having get you asleep, have a good day, all of you :)

Learning English for differenti purposes.

Hi everyone! I was wondering about the reason I started studying English for. Why are you interested in learning languages? Why did you start studying them?

Why Italian students are often unable to speak English. I've been thinking of this for months and I've been realizing what the problems of Italian schooling system is as concerns the teaching of English: 1) In Italy, plurilinguism is rare and it is considered abnormal. 2)Italian students are forced to study English literature. It is important to understand the importance of this language but it is often not understandable to many. 3) Teachers don't let students make mistakes slowing their process of learning and upsetting them. 4) Consequently, we don't pratice our speaking skills and our lessons are mainly based on translating texts. 5) Governments have been recently concerned about this problem but their initiatives have been pointless. 6) Every year, many associations propose weekly/monthly journey in England, or English-speaking country, but these travels are often expensive and aren't useful because since they involve only Italian students, they don't tend to speak English, but they just have fun with their peers. I'm an Italian student currently attending the last year of High School and I'm really frustrated. I'm trying to get better and better every day but this schooling system and this closeminded society is letting me down. That's why I'm thinking of live abroad after I graduate. Sorry for my mistakes but I just wanted to express my disappointment. Have a good day :)

10/03/2015 What a rough day it has been so far!! In the morning I had a math class-test... terrible, but I think I did good. In the afternoon I was supposed to study but my mind was shut down, so I enjoyed my "non-study" time to watch some episoded of my favourite tv series :)

Meaning of "plug" and its usage Hi everyone, I have been wondering about the meaning of the world "plug/plug in". What does it mean? And how would you use it?

How is your Monday going? I'm at school and I'm really getting bored.. It's gonna be a long day :(

Is there anyone on this website available to start a language exchange for free? I have a doubt.. So far, I haven't understood if on this website, I can only practice a language paying teachers etc...

How do you learn a new language?

Hi everyone, I'm really interested in learning foreign languages.
