Hello everyone! I'm from Rome, I study intrepreting, English and Portuguese. Almost two years ago I spent five months abroad in Portugal, Coimbra thanks to Erasmus+ scholarship and it changed my way of living! It gave me a lot of motivation, enough to decide to go Lisbon last summer to take a C1 intensive portuguese course:) I'm also interested in Greek, I hope I will manage to learn the basics soon!

    Are boat, car and ship feminine?

    Hello there! Here's what I found yesterday in one of my English textbooks. I found it very strange because I never  noticed that this terms were feminine. English natives, do you confirm it is true? 

    "In English, the masculine and feminine gender is assigned to human beings, and the neuter to non-human entities (plants, animals, objects), with some exceptions: boat, car, ship are referred to with the pronoun she;  small animals (robin) are sometimes referred to with he or  she  on the basis of a process of personification."

    Can you help me understand this?


    This was taken from my English book.

    Talking about a 999 operator: "It still surprises me to hear my voice change during a call. It changes, becoming deeper, almost authoritative. I have to take control of the situation. I suppose that's why I wear a uniform. I have a script, but I refuse to be a robot; hearing people at their most vulnerable makes me add to it. "

    I don't understand the last expression, is that an idiom or something else?

    I'm reading The Maze Runner series at the moment... It's a trilogy meant for young adults, very captivating and full of terms typical of written language, it's also easy to read because it's divided in short chapters :) I know it's not the most high quality content but I think it's good for learners!

    Giacomo Leopardi

    Al momento sto guardando un film sulla vita di Giacomo Leopardi chiamato "Il Giovane Favoloso". Lui era un filosofo, scrittore, filologo e glottologo, ma soprattutto è considerato il poeta più importante dell'Ottocento e anche uno dei personaggi più importanti della letteratura mondiale. Da giovane cominciò ad avere problemi fisici e continuò così fino alla sua morte a 38 anni. Alcune delle sue poesie più famose sono L'infinito e i Canti.
