I'm ITALIAN!!!

I'm Italian, my first language is Italian not English, in my profile there is the evidence that I live in Italy, I have never said that I studied English in a professional way, I always alert my English friends when I have to meet them that I don't speak fluently in English...

so please could you stop to leave nasty comments about my foreign languages skill?

IF you want to comment to help me, to warn me about a grammar error, to alert me if my sentence was bad phrased so much that what I want to say is not clear, you are welcome to do so.

BUT if you only want to be offensive, than go in another blog. First I didn't ask you to come here, if you did, it was your choice. Second, how many foreign languages do you know? When I was in school, I had 10/10 in Italian, literature and grammar, plus above the average vote in History. I graduated in Economics with 103/110 in 3,5 years when the time lapse was 4, and when the average in my University (one of the best Economics facutly in Italy) was 7...

Do you have the same results as me? If so, you are allowed to leave nasty comments, IN ITALIAN, on my LJ. We can play at the same level.

Not much more I can add that hasn't already been said...but for my "day job" I work with students who for the most part were born speaking Spanish. I've never had any trouble understanding you because I understand your phrasing (it's a lot like that of my students).

Maybe your "half" is like mine. I understand it when people speak Spanish, but I don't speak (let alone WRITE) it.

It's mean and petty for people to attack you anonymously. Grr.

I have still trouble hearing on phone and speaking with someone who has a very strict accent, but for reading it's no more a problem, and writing, well, I take a dive on the pool! Elisa
