Introduction Hi there! I'm Francesca, I'm a 24 years old italian girl who's trying her best to learn and improve her english skills. I've studied it in high school but, like most south european students, I've had awful english teachers. Mine was an italian woman with a terrible english accent and arguable competences who didn't really teach me anything useful. So what I've learned so far cames from american tv shows, and movies, and books or songs. I'm an huge fan of american pop culture, I'm trying to learn english for my own fun and pleasure, because I just love it, the american english especially. A little bit about myself: as I said I'm 24, I was born in a small country in the "heel" of Italy but I moved in Perugia (centre of Italy) when I was 18. I'm currently a med student at her senior year. I think Friends is the most beautiful tv show ever, I love tennis and travels and I could fall in love with an american guy just hearing him speaking his native tongue. I've got an huge crush on american accents. I love making international friends as well, so please feel fre to contact me if you want to chat, I'd love to do it on my spare time. And of course please correct my mistakes: as an autodidact I definitely need your help. Thank you for your attention! Francesca

Hi there!
I'm Francesca. I'm a 24 years old Italian girl who's trying her best to learn and improve her English skills. I've studied it in high school but, like most south European students, I've had awful English teachers.

So what I've learned so far comes from American tv shows, and movies, and books or songs.

<em>[Very good. You say you were born in a country in the heel of Italy, but I think instead of 'country' your mean what we might refer to as a 'state' in the U.S.]</em>

that's awesome! Yes, you're right, those are both minor mistakes I can avoid in the future. Thanks a lot!

Very good Francesca. It seems like you have learned very well on your own. Your grammar and vocabulary are both excellent. Apart from the things which have already been pointed out, a couple of small things which you could change to make your English more authentic is: You would say I am 24 years old but you say I am a 24 year old girl. (Yes I know, English is weird) You say Southern European rather than South European.
