About

I fell in love with English at age 16 when visiting London and I'm still fascinated by it.

I'm also interested in promoting the knowledge of my own mother tongue; if you like Italian, you may want to join here

And if you think that EL&U is a bit too difficult for you to follow, or if you feel that YOUR questions would be regarded as basic, consider joining ELL at this page
