My name is Erika and I am a theater artist: a teacher, an actor, and a painter. I live in Greenville and am preparing for applying and auditioning for grad school acting MFA programs. I love to read fiction, plays, and philosophy (just recently started reading philosophy!), running, and playing video games occasionally. I would like to learn Italian because I would love to visit Italy and I think the language is beautiful. I want to be able to communicate with people from another culture and read books in Italian. One day I hope to travel to Arrezzo to the Accademia dell'Arte to study Commedia. On italki, I'm looking for friends who want to teach Italian and practice English. I'm interesting in working on understanding what I hear and being able to communicate in the language. Thank you for reading and feel free to send me a follow request! I'd love to talk with people from many different cultures and backgrounds.

    Boyfriend for his daughter.*

    I couldn't pass by this picture. The point is that I have an adult 17 year old daughter and my husband is very similar to the man in the picture. One day my husband sent this picture to my daughter and he wrote: "You should show it to everyone who will pretend pretends (or do you mean "wants"?) to be your boyfriend. Warn him, it's not a joke, all of what is written here I will do. God bless your boyfriend."
    There Here is a translation of what is written on the t-shirt: "Rules for everyone who wants to date my daughter:
    1. Get a job.
    2. Understand that I don't like you.
    3. I am everywhere.
    4.You hurt her - I hurt you.
    5. Drive her back home 30 minutes earlier early.
    6. Hire a lawyer.
    7. If you lie to me - I'll find out.
    8. She is my princess.
    9. I don't mind going back to jail.
    10. Everything you do to her I will do to you."
    When I finished this translation I found the same t-shirts in English on the Internet. It's called "10 Rules for Dating my Daughter" and I have no doubt that it came from America (not from Russia to America). Because we don't have the practice to hire of hiring a lawyer. "Get a lawyer" sounds very funny in Russian because, likely, my husband will need help from a lawyer (not a boyfriend). I am afraid a boyfriend may go to a the hospital if he'll do he does something wrong.

    *This title is a little confusing, perhaps "A Boyfriend For My Daughter" or "To the Boyfriend of My Daughter" or "To the Boy Who Wants to Date My Daughter" might be more clear because both you and the man in the picture have daughters, and they refer to the tshirt itself which is the main subject of the entry.

    It's My Life (Don't forget to capitalize the first letter of every word in a title)

    The life* is a chance to be aware about a lot of things.
    We need to understand the world, the people, the community, and the science (or "the sciences").
    If you need want to improve in all this these things you have to learn more and more.

     

    *"The life" is a little vague, you could start the sentence with 1."Life" if you want to refer to all life in general as opposed to a singular life or 2."Your life" if you want to directly affect the reader, or even 3. "My Life" if you want it to serve as a reminder to yourself. :)
