I am Eric, and I live in the Northwest of America. I am a music student, focusing in Classical Voice and Opera. I want to learn Italian, German, and French (and maybe a few other languages!) because I want to be able to communicate with other Opera singers from those (and other) countries. I also want to learn these languages so I have a better understanding of what I am singing! I'm starting with Italian because most of the songs and arias that one learns at first are in Italian! I'm joining this site to find native speakers, and pen pals :D

    I read this as something completely different, I am so sorry. Glad I didn't say anything, because that would have been embarrassing!

    Come dite "have a cow" in italiano? In English we have the idiom: "have a cow" as in "to get worried, or upset, or angry". Do Italians have a similar phrase?

    The Weather

    These days it is cloudy and foggy. Sometimes it is windy in night and cold. I must close the window when I sleep in night. Last night there was a heavy wind. The wind screeched, the sound liked ghosts crying. At that time I thought of a movie which called A Chinese Ghost Story. Could not Nie Xiaoqian come? I was looking forward to her coming, but I was more frightened since Nie Xiaoqian was a ghost. After a while,the wind stopped, I couldn't hear nothing. "Nie Xiaoqian has gone." I told myself and felt peaceful. Then I wanted to laugh at myself. How timid I was! How imaginative I was! Haha.

     

    These days it is cloudy and foggy. Sometimes it is windy AT night, and cold. I must close the window when I sleep AT night. Last night, there was a heavy wind. The wind screeched, the sound likened to ghosts crying! At that time, I thought of the movie A Chinese Ghost Story. Could not Nie Xiaoqian come? I was looking forward to her coming, but I became more frightened because Nie Xiaoqian is a ghost. After a while, the wind stopped; I could hear nothing*. "Nie Xiaoqian has gone." I told myself, feeling peaceful. Then I wanted to laugh at myself! How timid I was! How imaginative! HAHA! 

     

    This was a fun little paragraph to read :D I have to admit that I added a little bit of poetic license for clarity's sake. What a fearful tale! On the asterisked sentence: That mark is a semi-colon. It's a way of bringing together two clauses that have a common thought. You could separate the two thoughts into two sentences, but it flows better this way, and looks better on paper! Also, remember not to have a double negative "I could not hear nothing." is wrong. "I could not hear anything." would be more correct :)

     

    A very interesting tale!

    "Playing hooky" usually means that one is skipping out on the entire school day for fun (usually to go to that cool movie that they want to see, or just stay home and play video games!). "Ditch class" usually means that one is skipping out on once class. HOWEVER: Playing hooky can be used interchangeably. "Hit the ceiling"...I haven't heard that phrase used in ages! But, it would be smoother to say: "She hit the ceiling, she was so mad!" or "He was so angry, he hit the ceiling!" or even "If I'm late again, my boss will hit the ceiling!" If you said: "He almost hit the ceiling." that implies that he just became a little upset ;)

    In Italiano does one always have to use "Io" before a sentence? Such as "Mangia una mela" is "I eat an apple." Or would it be "Eat an apple." as in "You in an apple."? Does one always have to qualify the sentence with a pronoun? Grazie!
