Well, your blog is very well written, even if it’s not your mother tongue.
I do try to read some Italian blogs but, I’m afraid, my Italian is not up to knowing if they’re good or bad.
I admire you for writing in a language that is not your own. Bianca writes some parts in English too and Italy is Falling is also in English. Well done to all of you. I wish my Italian were as good as your English!

1) I wonder if you ever read Italian blogs: sometimes you can’t even recognize which is the language used!

2) Plus I am wondering now about my English blog: I keep on correcting mistakes, but there are always so many.

I should of forseen how hard it is to write in a foreign language!

;-)

A parte gli scherzi, I think blogs in English are very well written compared to their Italian counterparts.

I know it happens here, for Italians, too but, since I became an English teacher a few years back, it’s one of those things that really does annoy me now!

don’t worry. In the e-mails we exchange in italian there are a lot of errors, and all the people is italian! So, normally, they should know their language. WE should, but….

Good comment though although I’m not really sure about my command of English………

Wow, a tad hard on yourself ey? :-) You “should have” been less critical and I “should of” known that your command of language would not allow that. :-) How’s that?

Breathe…………..

Love Gail
peace……..
