Answer

Hey there!
I will now tell you one of the best guarded secrets of the Italian languages.
Tra and fra...
...have no difference whatsoever and are interchangeable :P Tra is slightly more used, but feel free to use whichever one sounds better.
By the way, if you want to chat feel free to add me as a friend! We can also talk on MSN or Skype :)

Answer

ciao srgause,
   se hai un dizionario , sai che fra e tra hanno la stessa funzione.
for example :fra amici e tra amici, they are the same.
comunque, puoi leggere di piu` sull'internet e saprai` il loro uso per pratica.
