母语不能当母语用的烦恼 作为一个在国外长大的中国姑娘 学习中文并成为了我人生的第一门必修课。还记得那些在语文课本中度过的初中暑假，当年的那些泪水和一万个不情愿 如今换来了我在国外职场上的最大优势。我的中文应该是及格的，至少发音标准，日常交流毫无障碍。但我的中文不算完美的，还是会经常用词不恰当，不太会用也想不到用成语，另外词汇量也少的可怜。一般了解我个人情况的人都习惯夸我的中文 但是其实我对自己的水平是心知肚明的。特别希望有人听到我出错的时候能帮我纠正。我真心希望能用做恰当的语言来全面表达我的内心所想 而不是限于简单的交流。

What do you think about accent?

I think the ultimate goal for all of us non-native speaker is to be fluent and to sound just like a native speaker when we are talking.

However, most of the time our accent comes out unwanted: the way we pronounce a certain sound, the pitch, the intonation, some pauses may be influenced by our mother tongue. Or sometimes our pronunciation is just too academic.  

I am happy when someone makes a compliment about my good pronunciation but I also really like when I can guess the cultural background of a person just listening to his/her way to speak. What do you think? Is it more important to sound perfect in a language or to keep some dearth as mark of who we are? 

A project description 2 SWITCH OFF is a festival about Darkness located in Milan into the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery By the duration of a week, this festival will offer a variety of cultural and recreative activities for each event day. During this time, the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery will turn into an inner space: the entrances and the glass ceiling will be covered with thick curtains for creating darkness inside the Gallery, which is a building originally designed to be an indoor public space, but permeable to light. The darkness will be the location for immersive exhibitions, where visitors are involved into a new environment that shifts their usual perception of space and reality. The project offers a communicating space, which aims to change the common negative idea about darkness.

A research project description COLLEZIONE is a research project on programmed accumulation of elements. It tries to emphasize that accumulating is generally connected with art practices. Apparently, these are frequently overlapping actions. COLLEZIONE is a compound of both artworks and thematic collections that become the basis of 2 installation projects which are related to the phenomenon of “Collectionism” in the contemporary lifestyle. Nowadays we use to buy more than what we really need and it ends up into an accumulation of goods as a personal collection of unused objects. The 2 installation projects want to be 2 collective collection spaces (collection of homeware and collection of clothes) which will give new value to those items considered as useless or unnecessary. These 2 collective collections will become also trade spaces, where “collectors” will show their own collection and will take away the objects that are not useless for them, creating in that way a set of elements in constant evolution and transformation.

synonymous of "exhibition" Is there another way to say "a design exhibition about something"? Is it correct if I say "a design setup related to the topic of something"?

Question about synonymous Is there other way to say "exhibition" and "about"? In italian we have INSTALLAZIONE, MOSTRA, ESPOSIZIONE, ALLESTIMENTO. In italian we have sentence like: -una mostra su qualcosa -un allestimento a proposito di qualcosa -una esposizione legato a qualcosa and so on, but in english i can only translate them into "an exhibition about something"
