I should try to do like this too, but I'm way too lazy. I tried a couple of times and felt too stressed out. When I'm watching something on You Tube I have no problems instead: it doesn't matter if it's the news or a bunch of scenes from a movie, I understand it all. It is almost as if I'm uncapable to watch something in english for far too long. But I think that is not even true, sometimes I have watched videos as long as two hours on the internet documenting on something than interests me such as lectures and stuff with almost no problem... In short, maybe I'm just too lazy for movies and tv series and tend to switch back in italian. Tried to watch The Crown in english once, I must admit it, I didn't understand everything those posh were saying :D. American accent for example, is way much easier.
Also, I always had problems using the right tense. I never quite got it in school, I bet it's one of those things you learn better (or maybe I should say I'd learn better) when you move to an english speaking country and learn directly for yourself.
I consider myself acceptable in english as far as I have/need to write something down or maybe listen but I think I'm terrible at speaking. I just can't do it.

No quote.

Same, speaking the language is by far the most difficult part, writing is actually fine as long as I have the time to think about what I wanna say.

My accent is still terrible :P

Re: Speak in English, please.

I noticed at the beginning without headphones i had big problems to understand, with them everything tend to be more crisper and you can distinguish one sound from another more easily and because of that it's easier to concentrate just on speaking. At first i tried with tv speakers, but the sound was mixed so badly and it was impossible to follow.

Speak in English, please.

This one as well is an evergreen :D

The grammar and the accent are more difficult, but it's a romance language like italian or french so if you put in more effort/change method you might end up finding some aspect of the language easier.
If you truly want to do it you can do it.

were you talking about French or English?

It's a werid language, I've never studied any French but I've heard it's a language full of little quirks, grammar rules and exceptions to those rules, the pronunciation isn't consistent with the written language, or in better terms, what you say doesn't correspond to what you write, and even more annoying there's no word to indicate the number eighty I believe and you just say 4 times 20.... -_-

yes, but I like its sound

Re: Speak in English, please.

with my secret phobic power i just saw that a foreign user ( that speaks in english ) requested to enjoy the forum

is it just a case? i don't think so.

Re: Speak in English, please.

sagoma if you want to learn french you absolutely can. you need time, persistence, and the right resources.
I do agree the sound is beautiful and very delicate/classy.

My head hurts, and I might need to change my glasses (again :moltoarrabbiato: ) as things have gotten a little bit blurrier lately.
