The English in Italy
Can I tell you about Italian’s relationship with English?
Well…In Italy we start study English at scuola elementare, from 6 years old. Someone starts before.
At scuola elementare we don’t study grammar (well, just the verb “to be”), but we learn some easy words, like the name of colours, or the parts of the body, things just like these.
Then, at scuola media (from 11 to 14 years old) we start learn grammar…
In the two first years of scuola superiore we study grammar, again; then, in the three last years we study English literature.
I’m in the second year of grammar-study at scuola superiore: so, I might know almost all of the English grammar. In fact, I can understand nearly everything (with dictionary’s help, of course), but for me it’s still difficult to make a complete speech, both writing and speaking.
I hope you’ll forgive me for my mistakes

Hi!
Hi guys!!!
My name is Silvia, I’m 15, I’m Italian and I live in Genoa…I created this blog ’cause I want to improve my English (it really sucks for now!).
I don’t know if I will be able to write on this often.
I’ve learned the little English I know thanks to the music (expecially rock music), and thanks to my English teacher on Junior High School (which in Italy is called scuola media). Now I’m in the second year of High School, and last year my English teacher was too insane…she’s crazy, and we didn’t do anything of our syllabus…now I hope our new teacher will be good!
I’m sorry for all the mistakes I certainly did, do and will do!!!
