Facebook reply: Could I use the simple present instead? Context: My friend wrote, in Italian, on my Facebook status that he wanted me to give him an Italian lesson. My cousin responded with, "parli l'italiano?" I want to respond with No, non parlo bene l'italiano. È solo che il mio amico mi sta dando fastidio. Thoughts?

Hi Wenwei, You could say "Non parlo l'italiano, é solo che il mio amico mi prende in pó in giro" (is teasing me)

Could you write what you mean in english? I don t understand if your friend is bothering you, or annoying you or what else.
