I would like to improve my Italian and Spanish, and I would love to travel and explore different countries. I think that the best way to learn a foreign language is to live in the country where the language is spoken, so I would like to live in Italy for a year and also live in Spain for one year if possible, but these days things are so precarious that one doesn't know what will happen next. We are living in very dangerous times.

    Hi Darleys, I'm a native speaker of English, and I'm available to have casual conversations in English with you and anyone who needs to practice speaking conversational/informal English in a natural way (not textbook English). I used to be an English community tutor on italki in 2010, but I stopped tutoring in 2011 for various reasons. Anyway, if you or anyone would like to practice speaking English with me just go to my italki profile and send me a message. We can set up a time to chat on Skype whenever you want. I'm semi-retired, so I have a lot of free time, but I'm not available on the weekends. Cheers! Alida.

    Referendum in

    Tomorrow here in Italy, all Italians are going to vote.
    The State of Italy has organized a referendum called ''referendum of the oil rigs''.
    There are many drills in the Mediterranean sea, and Italians have to choose if the State must give to these the oil companies another concession for taking the petrol in the sea/out of the sea when their contracts will finish expire or if instead they should dismantle the drills in the sea. It is a serious problem. On the one part/ on the one hand there are some politicians who say it is better to dismantle them because of pollution and damages to  the habitat , but on the other part/ on the other hand there are also political parties who say if they will dismantle the drills , thousands of workers would loose their jobs, and society would move to the other side; therefore, we Italians would be dependent on the oil of the North African countries( much more than we already are now...), so I have big doubts. Anyway, I must go to vote, as all people should do because it's a form of respect towards our ancestors who died for the right to vote...
    In truth, and in my opinion,  there are more important problems which should be discussed at the/at a referendum such as the unemployment of young people, emigration, and so on and so on....

    I have always had a strong interest in astrology, so several months ago I bought an astrological software program that can do all kinds of astrological charts and reports. If anyone is interested in having a birthchart, compatibility chart, relocation chart, etc, done just let me know.  I can do a chart plus report for you and send it to you via email. I only need to have your exact time of birth, day, month and location of birth.

    When you find out that your friend is a false friend, and unrequited love hurts the most I think.

    Well, it's not possible to answer that question unless you investigate every language in the world, but I have noticed that English uses less words to express ideas than Spanish or Italian.
