��������

So you're called Maria.  Your dad is �������� and your mum is English.  Your father isn't a good teacher so you have to learn on your own (how am I doing?).You feel like a house in Italy and you feel like a stranger in England.  You're hoping to have a Catholic holiday in a bit of a mess.You want to speak correctly.  LIKE A CAR!!!Off to Preston now.Maria x  

I think Gerbillo is teasing youI am english and learning italian. I think I understood you said, " that you feel at home in Italy but like a stranger in England.You are going on holiday in a couple of months to Cattolica and you are anxious about being able to speak �������� correctly.Help!See you later! " Yes, I would also like to speak fluent italian but I know that it will take many years of constant study and as much exposure as possible to the language.  I do think its a much nicer language to speak than english. It kind of rolls off the tongue.I reckon you will be fine. Hope you let us know how the trip went and take a few photos.Buon Vacanza  

 Ciao Maria,your middle name seems to have given you the chance to show us your ��������. It's not bad and the great thing is that your are willing to learn more! I'll be happy to show you - in a private message - the little mistakes, so that you can easily avoid to repeat them in the future.So, now let's switch to the �������� ��������! "Ciao Maria,sono felice che tu sia parte della Community e abbia deciso di parlare in italiano.Spero di poterti aiutare ad imparare qualcosa di più sull'Italia, l'italiano e gli italiani, visto che tra poco ne incontrerai molti in occasione del tuo viaggio a Cattolica!Io sono italiana, ho viaggiato spesso all'estero ed apprezzo ciò che ho imparato, ma l'Italia mi è sempre mancata. Mi sentivo spesso come "un pesce fuor d'acqua", proprio come te!Sei stata altre volte in Italia?A prestissimo!" 

 Ciao Maria, benvenuta.
