Living an awesome experience I've joined to this site to improve my english skills in order to be selected for an exchange project with the US. Even if I feel my written and conversation English skills are not so high, luckily I've been selected...so my desire to improve is grown. Next year I'm probably going to US and stay there a month and a half, but it's all to define yet. What it's awesome and exciting now it's the direct experience that I'm having with American guys and girls here in Italy. I'm attending lessons with them, I'm listening to them and I'm trying to deal with my shyness to speak with them in the best way I can. They are so patient and they are so similar to us, spending time with them it's a real pleasure, over this it's awesome noticing how it's so helpful to improve my english skills deal with the "problem" directly: it's the evidence that if you need to communicate, you are even more stimulated to learn a language different from your native one. So...good luck for all the mistakes that I've done in this text
