    If you have an intermediate level, you would rather listen to some conversation podcasts. I can recommend you the "ear biscuit" by Rhett and Link (the guys from Good Mythical Morning). They use very understandable language and it's easy to follow.


    https://soundcloud.com/earbiscuits (they have 672k followers on soundcloud)

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4PooiX37Pld1T8J5SYT-SQ (their youtube channel).


    An alternative would be downloading the audio from Matthew Santoro, so you'll practice your english AND in the same time learn some interesting fact. He also uses clear and perfect english.

    Got is the past of get. Some examples: Yesterday, i got a nice discount on potatoes. If i get a nice discount on potatoes, i'm going to buy a lot of them. I want to get 10'000€ to buy a lot of potatoes.

    Two examples that express the difference between the two tenses: - I was looking for my watch, when i saw that i was already late. - i looked for my watch this morning, but could not find it. For the difference between looking for and searching, i'll redirect you to https://www.italki.com/question/79339

    The main objective of the democracy is to have everyone have the same rights. The poor can vote, express ideas and be a member of the society in the same ways the rich can. In reality, this isn't the case. But let me ask you this question; why should it be? The rich have more leverage on the society -money-, therefore can have more influence and, by (in most of the cases) having a high specialization/education, can make the world benefit more than the poor. But this way of thinking leads to denigrate the poor. We should find an adequate middle, where the rich should contribute to the education and knowledge increase of the "poor", so they can help society grow.

    Hello! I had the same problem when i started studying german. If you already have some basic vocabulary, you're best bet is to... speak to yourself! Seriously, if you are waiting for something (a friend, a bus...) just grab your phone, put it to your ear and talk to an imaginary friend. You'll see improvement in your fluency quickly.

    Once you'll learn more vocabulary and complex phrasing, keep talking, but in a more elaboration fashion :)

    Guardare 'Cinema Paradiso' ieri sera

    Ieri sera ho guardato il film 'Cinema Paradiso' per la prima volta da molto tempo. Infatti, non ho guardato tutto i film ma solo la prima mezzora. Quello è, dopotutto, un lungo film, di circa tre ore. L'ho guardato senza i sottotitoli. L'ultima volta che l'ho guardato è stato prima di avere cominciato a imparare italiano. Quindi, questa volta era una visione speciale per me. E' una cosa più straordinaria si è verificata. In una scena, oppure, in diverse scene, ho capito l'italiano senza tradurre in inglese. Per esempio, c'è una scena dove una donna domanda l'ora al suo ragazzo (o forse suo marito, non sono sicuro) e ho sentito la domanda "Che ore sono?" e sapevo immediatemente che vuol dire *. La domanda è entrata nella mia la mente mia ante di avere tempo per tradurla. E ci sono altri casi così. Qualche volta non avevo il tempo per tradurre la frase in inglese, perché, come sai, gli italiani parlano molto velocemente, più veloce che la mia mente mia puo tradurre l'italiano che ho sentito. Sono stato contento**.


    * Quel che voleva dire

    ** Ero (molto) contento.

    Meglio usare "prima"
