Hi! I'm an American, but I have lived in Germany for the last 15 years, and I speak both English and German fluently. I have two little boys and a German wife. We live in Munich and I spend a fair amount of time in northern Italy - so I decided about a year ago to begin studying. I can now read some text (the newspapers are really difficult though) and I can understand some radio and TV. When I speak with Italians I can understand quite a bit, and can carry a conversation as well - but when two Italians on the street speak to each other, I understand only bits and pieces. I am a good student. I spend about 10-12 hours a week studying, and I have a private teacher here in Munich once a week for 2,5 hours as well. I am looking to increase my vocabulary and become more confident speaking and listening to Italian.

It is very easy to get along with Mickey. He is dedicated to Italian (wakes up very early for our calls) and wants to speak and hear. In fact, he wants to have an actual conversation, which is great because he finds himself topics that he would to talk about. Like I said, very easy to get along with such a motivated student.

It is great to have Mickey as a student. It is as much giving as it is receiving feedbacks and we could easily say this is co-creating a teaching session with him. Thanks!

    Ho ascoltato una Radioprogramma - Sei Uno Zero della RAI 2, e ho capito! Al meno....ho capito la maggior parte. Non era facille. I presentatori parlano molto veloce e usano parole dialette. Sei Uno Zero è un spettacolo (anchè nella Radio?) commedio, quindi i temi sono spesso complicati....illogici. Ascolterò in futuro ancora. Anchè se non capisco tutto al meno sono i temi piachevole....i Quotidiani hanno solamento temi triste. A me piacciono le giocci stupidi migliore.

    One thing you might want to remember: "How about....." is a short way of saying "How do you feel about....." Because you are being asked how you feel about something - it is a little more personal, also a little more casual. Keep in mind that native English speakers (especially Americans) are much more comfortable being personal or casual with others. They will use this kind of language with complete strangers! Our language doesn't have a formal case (Lei per esempio) so we do this with very little changes in language and body language....and we do not take it very seriously in general.
