Hello my name is Randi I am 48 and a native English speaker from London living in Kent. I want to learn Italian for pleasure as it is the most beautiful language, and in return I would like to help you to communicate in English. My Proposal: We will work hard to understand what the other person is trying to say. We don’t interrupt each other to correct mistakes….But! We do confirm understanding by using correct language. We use words that the learner knows and also communicate, (when possible) with gestures and body language.

    Get together for studying

    Next month will be very tricky because I have many exams(English, Russian and Contemporary History).
    I am not so sure <em>certain</em> to pass all them as <em>to the standard</em> I desire <em>I'd like</em>, but I think I have to try to pass all because in July I'm going to Moscow. So I came up that the best solution <em>The best solution I could come up with</em> is <em>to</em> studying with friends. We met <em>meet</em> in <em>the</em> library at 2 o'clock and we study until we want to have a coffee break. Everyone studies her <em>their</em> <em>respective</em> subjects(Polish, Portugal, German,..). It's a good way to concentrate because you are in a quite quiet place and you know that your friends are doing a lot of efforts <em>working hard</em> in order to learn languages and this is wonderful.
    I had <em>have</em> been studying for many years alone in <em>my</em> kitchen or in my room and just now I'm seeing <em>the</em> benefits of studying with other people. You see their method<em>s</em> of studying and you notice also <em>also notice</em> the most intelligent girl that <em>who</em> says she's <em>not</em> studying nothing, indeed she <em>actually</em> studies a lot for having <em>in order to gain</em> excellent results.
    There is also another good point <em>to note,</em>: during the break we talk about exams and we joke a little bit, but in <em>within</em> ten minutes we start <em>studying</em> again to study until dinner time.
    To sum up, I advice <em>would advise</em> this method of studying to all students who are having <em>a</em> difficult time and they are not confident in <em>of</em> their skills.

    Laura I’ve re-written it for you as it should look, there are a large number of corrections here but don’t worry; this is because you have written a lot and are trying to include an assortment of higher level grammatical rules.

    I have two bits of advice I think will help you
    Be careful you are using the correct tense in your sentences. If you are writing in the past tense stick to the past tense or start a new paragraph.
    Example “we met” (past historic tense) meet (perfect tense)

    Be very careful you are using the correct object pronouns like her & their.
    Example “her respective” (singular) “their respective” (plural)

    Easter

    Easter is near! Shops are full of easter eggs. It's very funny! I like chocolate easter eggs! It does return me a childhood. When I was a child I remember I can'tcouldn't wait to find a surprise in the easter egg. Sometimes I liked that what I found in the easter egg but sometimes not I didn't. I always liked chocolate.
    In At easter time, here in Italy to my country, you can eat also also eat "L'agnello". It is a sweet lamb almond pasta. I like it so much! I'd like to try to make it this year :-) I like to prepare new foods.

     

    Hi Fredrico, learning a new language is hard, there are so many corrections it's difficult to understand everything; I'm trying to learn Italian so I understand how you might feel. For this reason the corrections I have made to your "Easter" entry are the absolute minimum required for the text to sound like it was written by an English person. There are other mistakes but they are not so critical and have already been corrected by others. My main advice to you would be, use commas instead of full stops so you can write longer more complete sentences.

    Dormitory or student's house

    Hi everyone! I came university and I wrote essay about dormitory or student's house. I wrote good today . I made too little mistakes so I was very happy. I will write several sentences from my essay. ____--ıf you study university in another city, you should stay in a dormitory or student's house. You have to prefer one of them. I think,when you stay in a dormitory, your life is difficult sometimes,because you have to obey to rules. If you stay in a student's house you should do housework and cook but if you stay in a dormitory you don't have to Don housework. And staying in a dormitory is cheaper than staying in a student's house, so a lot of students prefer stay in a dormitory because of financial problems.

    Well done :) this was easy to understand but be careful not to forget to use prepositions correctly otherwise your writing will sound strange. Here is a link for you to look at. http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/preposition.htm

    My cat

    Hello! I love cats. B<em>b</em>ut, <em>until recently</em> I didn't have any cats in my home. And A month ago, I was walking on the street, and I was meet <em>met</em> a little cat. He was being hungry and tired. So, I was thinking <em>thought</em>: "Why not?", and was getting he with <em>get one for</em> myself. Now, I am have cat in my home :)

     

    Most of this was OK and would be understood by an English person except the following. 


    "and was getting he with myself" here you must use the object pronoun "One" not the personal pronoun "He"

     

    Good Luck :)

    Corrections I'm making this entry in English because I want to thank those who have taken the time to read and correct my poor Italian, unfortunately I don't have a lot of time so THANK YOU ! Over the rest of the weekend I will endeavour to create a verb chart to include Infinitive, gerund, imperative... etc endings. I will use this chart "nel casso fossero" to assist me when I write my Journal.
