I studied accounting at university but have been working in information technology management for my entire career. I find the tools available today to study another language are far superior to those that I struggled with in the past. Trying to learn another language myself has taught me that no question is too silly to ask and I enjoy helping others who wish to improve their knowledge of English.

Noel ha una grande forza di volontà, è determinato ad apprendere la lingua italiana nonostante le difficoltà e per questo io ho una profonda ammirazione per lui. Bravo Noel! Non arrenderti mai!

Noel is a beginner in Italian, but he goes the extra miles to improve himself. He understands quite well when I talk to him. His "listening/comprehension" is better than his speaking. In my opinion, he should concentrate his studies a bit more on verbs, because he already has got a quite good lexicon (which helps him so much in the comprehension!), but verbs can be precious on organising a sentence... besides being a very nice man to talk with, he is also a good student! Well done, Noel! ;-)

Non sapevo Noel del tuo viaggio in Sicilia. E' stata una bella conversazione, piano piano riesci sempre di più a trovare delle parole per parlare. All'inizio non è importante la correttezza di un discorso, anzi l'aspetto più importante è comunicare. Poi, piano piano si andranno a correggere eventuali errori! Spero che tu riesca a costruire il tuo Popplet, può essere un'interessante opportunità per conversare e per usare nuove parole. Ottimo lavoro, complimenti

    I would first concentrate on the present tenses with the 50 most common verbs, then I would add the past tenses , and later the future tenses. In the beginning of learning a language the present is enough, then when you are comfortable the past tenses add a lot to converse about.

    Questo è molto popolare con altri madrelingua italiani imparano l'inglese, che mi hanno portato a comprare la versione per gli anglofoni imparare l'italiano. Le registrazioni audio sono vale il costo aggiuntivo oltre solo il libro.

    This is very popular with other Italian native speakers learning English which led me to buy the version for English speakers learning Italian.  The audio recordings are worth the additional cost beyond the book only.

    le mie scuse per i miei errori di grammatica italiana, mi hanno molto da imparare!  Buona fortuna con i tuoi studi!

    Sorry Trish, I didn't realize you were an English speaker.  You may be beyond this but I like the format and supplement with other grammar books such as "Essential Italian grammar" by Olga Ragusa .

    Wednesday

    Good morning everyone ,

    I woke up early today because I had to do a lot of things.

    Before going to work, I walked out my dog. , we met many dogs with their owners like every morning.

    I went to work at 9, and now I am writing in this forum,  but I would like to do a lot of things today. , It will be a busy day for me.


    Thanks

    Your writing continues to improve!.  When we speak, everything seems to be more of a stream of ideas and when learning to write sentences may run together.  Sometimes punctuation helps, while other times just breaking the stream of thoughts into smaller sentences is a useful approach.  I encourage you to craft smaller sentences and then later seek to join them.   Buona giornata!

    writing exercise - equiring information about memory course

    Dear Madame,

    I am looking for course, witch which can improve my memory skills. I am a medicine  medical student and how you can see in with my course of study there are a lot of terms to memorise.
    I noticed that when I study different pathologies, I can memorise the process of different diseases but I find hard to remember a the name of diseases. In my course of study, memory is an important skills to develop and I believe that a specific course could help me in this process. Next semester I should study anatomy, a subject based on  requiring strong memory skill. Last week I read your advertisement about a course designed to help improve your memory and I found it very helpful. I’d like to know more about the methods used and if the method that you use is based on scientific references or if there are a section in your web where I can see references from your students. Moreover, I’d like to take more information about fees of course and when the course is scheduled, so I can plan my presence at the course.

    Thanks in advances
    KIND REGARDS
    Anastasia

    BTW, nice job! Have you heard of anki or memrise?  They are very effective tools to commit information to long term memory.   Good luck.

    Bayern - juve

    I think many people has have seen the big match of Wwednesday evening. It has been was a great and fantastic match, but it should be have been a finals match. To find determine the winner, they have played the extra times. I think it is not correct that two teams like Bbayern and Jjuve play against each other at in the first round. It should would be better if Uefa UEFA createds matches assignments (pairings) using the ranking of the teams, and not to raffle with the balls.


    I was not sure what you were trying to convey in the highlighted section above.    Juventus is so talent rich!  I love watching them.

    Because I began to study English

    My story Aall began with a discussion with my colleague. He told me  that if you work on the computer, while listening ed to music, the work is less boring and the time flies away. I had another opinion, I thought that listening to songs, esxpecially with iItalian lyrics, could confuse me. He said " Why don't you don't try ? "
    and I replied " Why not ? "
    There was only a one problem, what kind of music ?
    I asked for some advices to from my son, " I'm searching music to listen to while I work. I would like to find cheerfull songs with eEnglish lyrics. What I can do ? " My son told me " Is it possible that you don't know what kind of music you like ? " " I like a song that I listened to on TV, during an advertisement about a car " Fortunately he knew the song. It was " You are my sunshine " sung by Doris Day.
    I found other songs on YouTube, and on LastFm, a radio online website, and I discovered that the Country genre is a the music for me. I don't know exactly, because, but the country music makes me feel me like I were return at am home.
    Infact, my nickname on LastFm was countrywoman.
    At this point you could ask me " But why did you begin to study English? "
    I wanted understand what they said. I understood only few words, and listened to " The coward of the county " I couldn't understand why Becky was crying. Poor Becky, what happened to her ?
    There was another reason, I watched many video on YouTube, and I decided to try to make some videos me too, so I needed to translate the songs. In my family the expert about English is my daughter in law, for the first time I asked her, but I was afraid to bore her, so decided to do by myself.
    In the meantime I did started a friendship on LastFm with Roy. We exchanged messages about our tastes in music, so I had another reason to learn English. We had shared many songs.  , hHe has been my first eEnglish " teacher " but this is another story .....
    If someone is curious to see one of my videos, here it is https://youtu.be/UUxkuduQovU
