I'm ITALIAN!!!

[reviews_and_ramblings]

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.

People are stupid. This is a statement of fact. (and does not, of course, include you or anyone I know and like, or anyone YOU know and like. *hee*)

Speaking for ME, I can sort-of made myself understood in some varieties of Spanish (as long as I'm in a restaurant kitchen and can use my hands a lot). Otherwise, English is pretty much it. I even fail at getting my point across in my own language, some days.

YOUR English is incredibly good, Elisa, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Do exactly what you've done here. Because it's deserved.

You're obviously a very smart lady. If you weren't, you wouldn't have so many people reading your LJ in the first place... in ENGLISH!

Yes, you have certain turns of phrase that are unique to you, but that's part of your charm... and I, for one, adore that.

Anyone who is deliberately rude, mean or cruel to you sucks. I could say some sort of thing about their self-image and blah-blah-blah, but I don't CARE about that.

The fact that you're so good with English in the first place, when it's not your first language, should cause nothing but admiration and respect within those following your posts. God knows I only WISH I could be as clear in a second language as you are in English.

Anyone who says otherwise is a fucktard. And just in case that word doesn't translate...? Anyone who doesn't think your abilities with English are amazing is a FUCKing reTARD. *hee*

Thank you Tis, when I started this LJ my English was pretty bad, more or less I know how to order a simple meal and how to ask to fill the tank, what was useful to me when I travelled abroad. Now I think it's a little better, not perfect, but I don't think it's so bad. Elisa

Your English is GREAT, hon'. *hugs*

If I even TRIED to say "where's the bathroom" in Italian, chances are I'd end up directed to one of the many beautiful fountains you have in Italy! LOL

You do wonderfully well with English. Gods, I have less difficulty understanding YOU than I do my nieces and nephews when they write me! (They write in text-speak, and really... WHO understands THAT? LOL)

Your English is great. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise! *hugs*
