    Il senso figurato è il senso metaforico della frase, cioè trascende dal reale significato di quello che stai dicendo. Il senso letterale è proprio il significato oggettivo delle parole che utilizzi. Provo a spiegarmi meglio. Un amico ti fa uno scherzo spaventoso e tu dici: "Mi hai fatto venire un infarto!" lo dici in senso metaforico o figurato, perché l'infarto non ti è venuto veramente. É un modo di dire per far capire che lo spavento è stato davvero grande. Il senso letterale è proprio il senso reale della frase. Non so se mi sono spiegata. :)

    Put myself in someone else's shoes

    This story is about my experience.
    Please correct or refine it~
    Thank you in advance.

    I have been in San Diego, in the US, for 8 months, from Oct. 2013 to May 2014. Even though I’d had several overseas trip experiences, it was my first time to stay abroad for such a long time.
    At first I took homestay in SD.
    Unfortunately, I was an extreme beginner at speaking and listening in English, so I had lots of troubles to communicate with my host mom.
    I actually think that my host mom didn’t understand me, and I thought even though I asked her to speak a bit more slowly, I think she ignored it.
    But after I met an American studying student of Korean language, I realized that maybe my request to the host mom could've been excessive demand
    Because When I had a talk with the American student, and considering her Korean ability, I spoke to her really slowly. But she still said, “Koreans speak really fast.”
    At that moment, my ex-host mom came across my mind.
    I blamed her for not considering my English skills, but it was totally my fault.
    The fundamental reason of the problem was my lack of English skill.
    Maybe she spoke very slowly for me, and maybe I even couldn’t understand it.
    I got a message from this experience: that I can understand other people well better when if I put myself in someone else’s shoes. (you can also say "if I wear someone else's shoes) :)

    A Friday like Thousands Mondays My body still doesn't feel the week-end is coming. Actually, I have not a real week-end since months and when, finally, I'll have the chance to relax a bit I think I will fall unconscious for days! Plus, today I feel more unuseful than ever... I work in a company, but I'm not employed by them, and I'm waiting for the day they'll finally decide to hire me. I do all my best every day to prove how good I am in my job. Actually, I do more than I should have to, hoping that my perseverance and diligence will help me to convince them that I'm their person. I'm waiting since 7 years... is it enough to stop hoping? I'm feeling like I'm going nowhere. I'm stuck in the middle between an "happy ending" and "ok, I give up" every single day. I've tried to find something else, but it's like there is nothing outside from me. It's like I'm doomed to stay in that middle I hate. I know I shouldn't cry. There are people out there looking for a job - every kind of job, literally - and finding nothing. I have one and it's a good one, even if my pay is one of the poorest I've ever received. I shouldn't cry, but I'm still feeling frustrated.

    Hi Rosangela!

    I'm happy to know I'm not alone! :)
    I use tv shows and movie to improve my knowledge about English language too. 

    I read you don't love so much those shows with vampires... Actually I love them! :D Especially The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. The others like True Blood, for example, are not my kind. 

    I'm watching Grey's Anatomy and 2 Broke Girls too and, actually, I can't watch Big Bang Theory. It's something I can't help. A friend of mine ask me to watch it for a while, but I didn't succed. The same is for Games of Thrones. I gave up on it after the pilot. Too, Too cruel for my stomach. :D

    I also watch: Suits, Agents of Shield, The Flash, Deadbeat, Superstore, Baby Daddy, Chicago Fire - PD and Med (but I'm waiting for new episodes) and Once upon a time, even if I'm thinking about giving up on this last one. 

    I see some more but, at the moment, I don't remember them. ahahaha

    I did Netflix last year. It was the beginning of the end!

    CONFESSION OF A SHOWHAOLIC :D

    Yeah, I have to confess you a secret: I'm completely addicted to tv shows!
    I'm watching several titles at the same time and sometimes I see more than 5 episodes in a row. It depends about the show.
    If I like it very much, I can spend all night watching episodes, and I infected by this disease my 15 yo daughter too. Oops, I did it again! :D

    I'm here to talk about a new show I discovered some days ago. Lucifer!
    I'm following the Italian programming and I watched just the pilot by now, but I loved it immediately, from the first frame I saw!

    This show it's about - obviously - Lucifer (Morningstar, btw) who, tired about the Hell and about his Dad forcing him to be The Bad Guy, decide to fled away from Hell and live on Earth, among and like a human being. 

    It's ironic, sagacious, lively and entertaining! I love it! 

    Is someone watching the same show and want to talk about it?

    Are you addicted to tv shows too?

    Which tv shows are you watching to in these days?

    Talk with my friend

    Today I had a conversation with my friend. Both of us think that if you find a thing you like, you have just to do it. Don't let any problems stop you! However, she made it, but I failed because of three reasons. Firstly, objective reason: her mom supported what she want to do, but my mom didn't. Secondly, subjective reason: she is more brave than me. I'm afraid, but I don't know about what. It really bothers me! Thirdly, because I do my part-time job and I don't have any time to do other things! So confused! [emoji][emoji]


    Deary,

    very good composition!

    I have to say that I am in the same situation. I want to realize some of my desires, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid of a hypotetical failure, so I don't even try.

    If you will find the way to do what you really want, contact me and let me know how you will have succeded.

    Good luck!

    Un saluto da Salerno

    Sono seduta nella ”biblioteca” dell'Accademia. Il WiFi è migliore qui, perciò posso scrivere un po’. Ho trovato il mio insegnante del corso di tre anni fa. Sono un po’ sorpresa che ricordi il mio nome.
    La negoziazione con la mia amica per prendere in affitto il suo appartamento non è andata bene. Nove mesi sono troppi per lei che, ogni volta, vuole stare qui a Salerno per lunghi periodi; penso che sia meglio prendere in affitto un altro appartamento.
    Mi sono resa conto che gli italiani pensano che oggi faccia freddo. :))) 18 gradi, mentre io mi godo il sole. Ho visto persone vestite con giacche pesanti, berretti e sciarpe. Penso che qui io possa sopravvivere un inverno. :)))


    Scrivi italiano meglio di molti italiani. :) 

    Buona fortuna e buona permanenza in Italia.

    Ager-Catalogna

    Alla fine della giornata, quando tu sei stanco, ti consiglio di visitare Ager, un piccolo paese dove in cui si trova il centro di osservazione dell'Universo. Si tratta di una visita guidata di due ore in un complesso abilitato per l'osservazione dell'universo, unico alla in Catalogna.
    In poche ore tu potrai vedere le costellazioni più famose dell'Universo e alla fine della visita tu avrai visto milioni di stelle, quando la cupola della sala di proiezione è aperta si sarà aperta. Per avere questa visione è essenziale scegliere una notte senza la luce della Luna (Luna Nuova) e, naturalmente, senza nuvole.
