Hi! I'm Claudio, PhD student in Computer Science in Bruxelles and really passionate of volleyball. In my recent trips abroad I figured out that speaking the local language really makes the difference in your experience. I'm open to exchanges with any language and be patient with me if I'm completely new to your native language ;) Drop me a message whenever you want

    early / earlier ? Hi everyone, I text my friend this message: "Ok, never mind. But next time text me earlier. See you this afternoon" My question is: should I use early or earlier in the sentence? Maybe both are good. Because he sent me a message too late for a change. Thanks Claudio

    Actually there is no difference, it's just a matter of style. Indeed you can say both "Ha incominciato a suonare la musica!" and "Ha cominciato a suonare la musica!" and you are speaking a good Italian. A similar sentence could be "Ha iniziato a suonare la musica!". It has the same meaning but it is less used. As I said before, it's a matter of style.

    "olio di pesce in granuli" is what you need. For the pronunciation you have to stress "a", so you will read "gra'nuli"

    You can use "mi" to emphasize the importance to the whole sentence, in this example with respect to you (because "mi" = "a me"). In English I would say "Don't come up with the servility", but there are two differences: - it is not emphasize as it is in Italian - In Italian the sentence is in 3rd person, while as I wrote it is in 2rd person Other example is: - "Non TE NE uscire con la solita scusa/storia", used in common speaking. A possible scenario is when a couple is arguing and one of them replies with the same excuse (same (old) excuse = solita storia).

    "essere sempre in tempo" means you can always start doing something. You quit smoking and even if you gain some weight, you can always lose it. "essere (sempre) in tempo" is often used in common speaking.

    "Est-ce que je ressemble vraiment aux filles d'autrefois" I'm reading a comic, the protagonist is a girl in her first day in high school. My best attempt to traduce the sentence is this one: Do I really look like to girls of yesteryear? Don't know, it simply doesn't sound good. Thank you

    What happen if I click on "There was a problem"? After a missed scheduled lesson what happen if I click on "There was a problem" in the feedback page? Simply the session is cancelled or my teacher or me (the student) will get a negative feedback? I don't want anything wrong. Thank you very much
