Hi! I was wondering why Thai people sometimes use their name to talk about themselves (or other people) instead of ฉัน/ผม/คุณ? How do you decide when to use a pronoun and when your name? For example: เดี๋ยวฉันจะไปตลาดค่ะ เดี๋ยวเอลิซาจะไปตลาดค่ะ Thank you!

Translation Hi! I'm working on a translation into English, since it's been a while since I last practiced my writing skills, and I'd like to brush them up a bit. I'd like to have your opinion on this text, even though I feel I've relied too much on word-by-word translation. Anyway... Any help is appreciated! Thanks. "The huge crowd during the exhibition's inauguration day makes us think that the superstar Frieda Kahlo will reach and go way beyond the result she’s been chosen for as the subject of the show that saw the light yesterday at the “Scuderie del Quirinale”. The goal was to reach a huge audience, tickets and critics success. The first to visit the exhibition dedicated to the Mexican painter, in the morning, was the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, and Ignazio Marino, Mayor of Rome, together with the Roman Assessor for Culture, Flavia Barca. Then, starting tomorrow, the show will be open to the public (until August, 31st), with a predictable and expected assault to the “Frida brand” (35 thousand bookings already), an artist who’s been considered a myth for decades now (Frida herself nurtured her own myth throughout her entire life), an icon always preceding her own paintings and that everyone agrees on. Frida the rebel, Frida and her thousand love relationships, tormented and complex, like her relationship with her two-times husband and artist colleague Diego Rivera, who will cheat on her even with her sister, Cristina."

私はの土曜日 こんいちは皆さん！ 今日は土曜日です。今朝私は7時に起きまして母と散歩をしました。家に帰ったの後で、朝ご飯を食べました。それから、仕事へ行きました。土曜日私は子供に英語を教えているので、仕事が忙しいです。 今、私はちょっと眠いですが、このノートを書いてしまったの後で、ミラノに行きます。雨が降らないで欲しいです。 じゃ、またね！ Final note: it took me ages to write this short entry, but for the first time in ages I've opened my textbooks again! I know I've made mistakes, especially in the part about the rain, but I'm happy I haven't relied on Google translator at all! XD よかった！^.^

Italian learners: I need your opinion!

Hi everyone!

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. 

I would like to hear your opinion and your experiences as Italian learners: what do you think it is the most difficult feature of the Italian language to understand/master? What represents a challenge to you and what drives you completely crazy? Also the other way around is fine: what do you find quite easy? 

By "feature" I mean grammar (i.e. which grammar point?), vocabulary, pronunciation, etc.

You may also want to add the reason why, in your opinion, some aspects are easier/more difficult than others, especially in comparison to your native language. 

I'm just really, really curious and you might find others who are struggling with the same problem! 

En fint mann Jeg tror at sport er veldig viktig. Jeg liker sport og jeg pleier å trene tre dagen hver uke menn nå kan jeg ikke gjør det. Jag kan ikke løper menn jeg kan gå. Jeg bor i en leilighet og det er mange andre leiligheter og huser nær. I et hus bor en gammeln mann. Jek kjenner ikke han. Han er altid på balkongen hennes. Jet vet ikke hvis han har ai familie eller han bor alene. Når jeg gå eller løper, jeg ser han. Han smiler og bølger på meg. Han ser en fint mann ut. Jeg smiler tilbake og bølger på han.

Hyggelig å møte dere! 11. oktober [ellevte oktober] Hei! Jeg heter Elisa og jeg kommer fra Milano. Jeg bor i en liten by men jeg liker å bor her. Jeg er Engelsklærer og jeg liker å lærer fremmedsrpåkene. Nå, studere jeg Norsk, Japansk og denne morgene jeg tok første Thai leksjonen min. Jeg begynnte å lære Norsk en år siden men jeg skulle studere mer. Desverre har jeg ikke mye tid! Jeg leser og hører på Norsk. Det er en fint nettsted hvor du kan høre på Norsk radio. Fra i dag, jeg vil studere hver dag!
