Oh, I'm sorry sad ...I thought it would make you feel good about yourself. I'd love to be a grown woman whee ....so be happy. wink lol
I thought you'd like this opportunity...sometimes it's hard to find certain people. It took me a long time to meet an Italian speaker, too. And here I am chatting with you! cool
You've been around quite a bit! Gosh, my parents would never let me go on an international school trip. surprised Your parents must have been pretty laid back then...or is there a different way of thinking in your country? Travelling is costly...but it's worth it!

That's just stupid! People in their 20s are just getting started and finding a career path! Honestly, I don't understand stereotypes. Yes I do have 3 cousins in their 20s who are pathetic scum, but I know not all are like that, for there are 2 others who are becoming successful and settling down. I agree, adults can be pessimistic. Now do you hear me saying that they are ALL pessimistic? And let me tell you, not one day goes by for me without thinking about making a difference in this twisted world...

Ok...I have another Italian question. mrgreen
How many verb tenses are there, and what are their names?

Hi!Sorry, yesterday I came back to Bologna and I went to bed early (for my standards razz )
Sorry, I told it badly... redface sweatdrop you're right! I am definetly happy to be 23 because my life is just beginning: the future I worked for is becoming true and I'm so happy I don't know how to show it completely xd whee
It's only that time passed too quickly from 18 to now and I'm sad because this period was the happiest in my life and it's hard to leave it
It's great we've met, we can enrich each other with our experiences and thoughts, sometimes it's hard to meet someone so curious and willing to learn at that age whee
"not one day goes by for me without thinking about making a difference in this twisted world... " I really admire you for telling that, I hope our generations will manage to change this world and free it from bloodlust-and above all "moneylust", to achieve a balance between people and with Nature
This is a great opportunity for the 2 of us because you looked for someone to teach you and I looked for someone to teach to biggrin I'd like to teach Italian in Japan for a period but I wasn't sure to be able to do it
ok, I'm going to answer your question, stay tuned! pirate

Glad to see you again! I missed you. 4laugh I had absolutely nothing to do yesterday, so it seemed like a long time. whee

I know what you mean about leaving something behind. I miss Middle School, 8th grade to be specific. It was a great year...and here I am in High School, the land of drugs, sex, and booze. rolleyes People are soooooooo stupid here; last year I was in classes with people of my intelectual level. So coming back to classes with idiots is hard to do...

I hope our generations can change the ways of the world, too. But with lowering standards, it will be hard. People have become so brainwashed with the media...it's a sad thing. Everywhere I look, I see corruption.

Well, I'm open to learning Italian...and I'm glad you want to teach me. I got a book out of the library today, and I'm going to start. heart

Your parents must have been pretty laid back then...or is there a different way of thinking in your country?
I'd say I'm very lucky because my parents are very open-minded and helpful (they pay the University's taxes and my flat's rent, some friends of mine had to quit because their parents don't pay anything and even if they work they can't get enough money to pay everything).. above all in the South adults are still "old-fashioned", they are over-protective and "traditionalists",especially with daughters. stressed It really bothers me, we're in the 21st century, damn it! A really special friend of mine (we're almost as sisters), whose parents come from Sicily, never came here in Bologna to visit me because their parents don't let her, it's too far (156miles?!) mad ... They're very kind and nice but they don't understand they're making Alessandra's life too difficult - during high school we had a lot of arguments for this.
I began telling my parents I wanted to work abroad and/or travel a lot with my job from when I was 12. They accepted early my wishes for the future, I think because they trust me, I'm a quiet person and we have a good relationship, my mother is like a friend (we're Italian Gilmore girls wink ). Ok, now I'm really going to answer! xd It will take me some time, I'm going out for a while.. sweatdrop thanks for the patience! smile

You're lucky to have such great parents! Mine are nice too, but they, mostly my father, are not very open-minded. They think it's very "dangerous" to travel...that could be because we're Americans and everyone "hates us." I think that if you respected other countries and their cultures, there would be no problem. sweatdrop
You live in Bologna? I had a feeling you lived somewhere else. xp That's in the north, right? Hmmm, it's kinda odd that her parents would not let her travel within the country.
Me and my dear mommy have a good relationship, also! heart I can tell her anything; I just love her so much! If there's one thing I want to hold on to during these messed-up high school years, it's the relationship with my mom. 3nodding

Tante grazie! ^_^
Don't worry, I didn't expect an explanation. I just wanted to see what my future holds. wink And besides, those are all basically the ones I've already learned for Spanish. The Modo Congiuntivo is like a Subjunctive tense, I guess.
In fact, a lot of the concepts are the same. eek I should have no trouble. wink

Ok...I thought I saw it as "faccio una...", but I get it. 3nodding
You can either say "Faccio la studentessa" or "Sono una sudentessa".. it didn't come to mind before sweatdrop

Is "sto imparando" a present progressive tense? Yes, I think so; you make it using "stare"(stay) as an auxiliary verb and the "congiuntivo" form of the principal verb (it's odd, I know... razz ) (thanks for telling me, I didn't know how to say "by myself." yes it's correct.) I thought that you could make "insegnare" reflexive, like taking it from "insegnarsi". whee

How could I use "autodidatta" in a sentance? biggrin
You can say "Sto imparando italiano da autodidatta" 4laugh
Grazie di nuovo! A causa di ti (giusto?), sto imparando rapidamente! wink heart
"A causa tua", but it's better if you use "grazie a te" because "a causa tua" usually sounds negatively, like "it's your fault if..." wink
Thanks! heart *blush*

What I wanted to say was, "because of you I'm learning fast." So a causa tua, is like a, "because of you, it's your fault." kinda thing?
