HI, I'm David, nice to meet you. I'm looking for an informal tutor to help me improve my spoken Italian. I'm probably at an intermediate level in terms of listening and reading, however I cannot express myself in a natural way. I am looking for an informal tutor who I can speak to once a week or so. I need someone who can listen to my Italian and suggests ways to speak more naturally. I would also like someone who could check some translations into Italian. If you think you can help me, please get in touch

David is a great student, he has an outstanding comprehension of Italian and he is able to communicate nearly everything on any topic. Given his high level of Italian, he is after the ultimate level of language-learning – acquiring fluency in speaking. David is also an excellent communicator, we spoke about different topics and his points and arguments were always interesting.

    Hi, These are logically constructed sentences, but if you used some of them with native English speakers they might struggle to understand what you meant. They would certainly ask you what you meant. 1- (A) I'll do this unless (B) you do that. I will do this if you do that 2- (A) I'll do this unless (B) you don't do that. As long as you don't do that, I will do this. 3- (A) I won't do this unless (B) you do that. If you do that, then I won't do this 4. (A) I won't do this unless (B) you don't do that. If you don't do that I won't do this

    An English speaker would not express themselves in this way. It's hard to know how best to rephrase it, as the sentence is out of context. One attempt would be: The main damage to the manuscript was some missing pages, and some out of order.

    You can use the idiom more widely than just when at a cinema or a theatre. It means you are excited, or stimulated, but you are generally in a passive state, rather than running around the place. You could be at the edge of your seat at a football match, driving, being a passenger in a plane, at a meeting etc. "It was real edge of the seat stuff, I didn't know what he was going to come out with next" To come out with meaning to say something that would shock or embarrass, and to do so in an unpredictable manner.
