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.

It'll be sixty-something comment here but who cares! ^^ I'm with you here. Entirely. I'm not a native speaker either so I've experienced same troubles as you have mentioned, though most of my f-list are not native English speakers - what a relief! - but I have enough of that in my real life so cheer up baby, you're good. I think. What's more, I think it's more than many natives can tell about themselves and I'm not exxagerating. ;) The only constructive thought I may share here is that you can try checking collocations in Google (in "") - the number of the phrase used in the net will give you an idea. That's all. Good luck! I'm participating in the voting too. ;)

Google is always my source when I have some questions ;-) Thank you, Elisa
