Profile
I am Jessica. I was born, raised and live in Chicago, Illinois. I work as a pediatric nurse at a community hospital in Chicago. I love Chicago and live here with my husband. I am 75% Italian so naturally I wanted to take Italian in high school. Once I started Italian in high school I instantly fell in love, passionate love, with the language. I was even the vice president of my Italian club and participated in the Italian exchange twice for two weeks where I stayed in bologna with an Italian family. Once I got to college, my teachers wanted me to minor in Italian but my nursing program was very difficult and felt I couldn't do both. So I reached my goal of becoming a nurse and have been working as once the past few years. Now I would like to focus on my other love on my off days, Italian. I really need to practice my conversational Italian. I would also like to learn new expressions. I attend an Italian church and would like to feel less self conscious when I am speaking with native speakers. I am looking for someone who can have conversations with me. It could be a teacher but does not have to be.

    Traveling

    Ever since I was young, I had the opportunity to travel a lot .  I still remember the first time that I took a flight that brought my family and I to Cophenaghen, Denmark .
    After that, i have traveled with my family to several countries in Europe. (and not, but with the passing years my way of travelling has changed.) Maybe you can say 'But in the passing years, I have not been able to travel as much. 

    Last time I went with my family abroad was 4 years ago because I started traveling with friends or alone (which is much better). In fact after high school, I spent 4 beautiful months traveling around Australia. There, I met a large number of people that i shared awesome experiences with .

    Still today, when i have time ( and especially money ), I try to catch a flight to discover somewhere new . Just few weeks ago, I came back from a trip in Ireland. Thanks to a website , I found volunteer work in a Hostel. An international enviroment which provided me the opportunity  to keep practicing my English.  

    However ,yesterday my mother tried to convice me to do a trip toghther with all the family . Should I do it ?? I suppose yes, even if it will be not as interesting as traveling alone .

    Francesco, any travel is good! Keep on traveling and practicing English. PS your so lucky that you can travel to a whole new country so easily when you live in Europe. A presto!

    The More You Write, The More You Improve Write an email saying what type of room you would like to book, how many nights you would like to stay there, and then ask the hotel some questions about their amenities and breakfast details. Remember that the more you write, the more you improve your language skills.

    Soccer And Football

    A long time ago, I couldn't distinguish the differences between soccer and football. So, I researched it on the internet.

    According to a website, ‘soccer’ stands for ‘association football’. It seems that, soccer was a name for football a long time ago.

    By the way, I spoke with a new italki friend via skype around noon. He is from Indonesia and studies Japanese eagerly.

    He is still developing (working on) his vocablary (people usually don't use large to describe something like vocabulary),  his pronunciation is good. I hope someday we'll be able to speak to each other in Japanese fluently.

    Conflict between soul and body.
    Most of the characters painted by Michelangelo in the Last Judgement, the fresco situated behind the altar of the Sistine Chapel, communicates restlessness and suffering. Men and women are almost deformed by their muscles, and their bodies are contorted and twisted. When Michelangelo painted the last Judgement he was sixty years old and he no longer believed in the renaissance idea of a man is the maker of his destiny and, lastly, of his happiness. He believed that life was tragedy and the only way to live in harmony was with God, after death.
    Michelangelo saw man as a conflict between soul and body. Soul was the divine side and body was his prison. (material doesn't quite work here). Michelangelo’s characters are so restless because their souls are trying to escape from the confinds within the body towards God. Beautifully written, Michelangelo is such a genius :)

    Mio Viaggio Italiano Perche` io amo la lingua italiana tantissimo? Quando ero 10 anni, I miei genitori, la mia sorella, mio gemello ed io abbiamo fatto una gira a Italia. Per la prima volta, ho visto la bellezza del paese che i miei bisnonni lasciare. Era incredibile. Ero piccola, ma ho conosciuto che io non vorrei rimane lo stesso. Da 10 anni a 15 anni, ho sognato imparare italiano. Quando il mio liceo offerto italiano, ho saltato a imparare la lingua dello mio patrimonio. Con la mia classe, ho andato due volte a bologna per lo scambio l'italiano dove sono rimasto con una famiglia italiano per due settemane. Quando sono andato a college, avevo un classe d'italiano ma mie classe di infermiera era molto difficile. Ho fermato mia classe d'italiano. Sono stato una infermiera per due anni, ma io sono pronto a ritorno a mia prima amore, la lingua Italiano.
