从小的时候一直喜欢语言，我还记得弟一次跟我的父母去过一个中国餐馆吃饭。我就觉得这个红墙真丰富多彩，还有很多的画表现中国的风景。我还去过很多的外国餐馆，我对别的国家文化很感兴趣所以19岁我已经知道在大学想学习外语言。

我会做的中国菜 我四年前去过中国，四川。有一天一个退休的家组织一个活动，她们教做饺子。那个天趁我在退休的旁边就去了试试。她们很友好地教做。乍看起来做法很难，可是靠她们的帮助越来越容易。先要准备好馅儿，放入油，盐等。用筷子搅拌均匀。等原料做成了，要准备面。最关键的功夫是折叠，然后把馅儿都放在盖帘里。熟饺子的办法不是只一个，可以煮或者油炸。火最好用文火。饺子要趁热吃，可是冷的还行。喜欢口味重的还可以加少许酱油。做饺子很有趣了，那个是一个忘不了的天。我很怀念在中国旅行的天。 ps: please note the desperate and laughing face of the poor lady who had to teach me.

交语言伙伴 你们好，我已经三年没有联系中文。三年前我去了中国工作六月了，过了以后我回意大利工作。因为在我的工作中不需要使用语言所以我现在忘了中文， 我觉得好可惜了。在这个检疫中我琢磨出个办法为了又联系联系汉语，所以我回ITALKI来寻找语言伙伴。我总之很喜欢语言交流，我可以一般学中文一般帮助你们学习意大利语或者英语。我估摸现在人们都在家工作，我们有很多的空时间所以我们一起可以试图学习。 你有感兴趣的话就发给我一个消息。 拜拜！ please correct me without mercy

Thoughts probably none will read but I hope you do hello from Italy, I'm back on this platform after 11 years. When I first created an account on Italki I was 18 years old, I used it for 3 or 4 years, then I graduated and started working. I live now in northern Italy, one of the Italian regions most hit by the coronavirus so I'm confined home since March. Since I have a lot of free time now, I'm thinking over a lot of things, one of these is: "why have I stopped to learn and practice languages all of a sudden? It is one of the greatest passion and pleasure of my life". Since I was a child I loved learning new words in English, my major is in languages, specifically in Chinese and English languages. After my graduation, I went to China then came back to Italy and started a job completely different from the job I thought I would do, but I kept doing it because for me it was somehow challenging. The bad part is I forgot which my real passions are. I don't have time for anything, I guess this it's what it means to grow up, you can't always make a living with your passions, but right now I want to regain a piece of what I liked to do before. I'm seeking to take a positive view of this confinement so I decided to keep some time to improve the languages I used to study and I also added one: German. I don't know which level I'll get, but even if in small steps I hope I can get a good level in at least one year. Most important: I'd like so much to practice languages again and to find language partners on Italki, I'd also be happy to help people learn Italian. Thanks for reading (and correcting). Bye!

为什么我学汉语。 从我童年的时候一直喜欢学习，更不用说语言。当我上英语课的时候了，非常喜欢学一个语言和一个不同的文化，从那个时候我以为学语言很有趣。有一天我跟父母在一个中国餐馆儿去吃饭了，我们吃过很多不同的食物了，我知道了中国是一个美食大国可是这个是我第一次去品尝中国菜，不但我吃饭了，还听过两个服务员说话，我觉得那个语言很有趣。从那个天起，中国留下了我深刻的印象。我上中学的时候决定学语言，可是在学校还没有汉语， 所以学了西班牙语，法语和英语，我还对中国文学和语言非常感兴趣了所有的书有关中国，文学，我都看过，还买了一个为了学汉语的书，无论我得学习很多的科目是否想学习汉语，可是中文太难，中学的学习压力太多，因此我决定了等我获得中学文凭，就会开始学汉语及别的语言。中学文凭以后，我就知道了在城市的旁边儿大学有语言本科尤其有汉语的课程，觉得非常高兴。因为汉语是一个非常难的语言所以我有一点儿怕了，可是我决定至少要试一试，如此我去了注册大学盼望真正地开始学习汉语。现在我在研究生学习，我非常高兴我的选择，希望能进一步完善我的汉语。
