Titolo: An Introduction

Hi everyone,
I have been following and reading the various postings in this newsgroup
with pleasure and interest. I am an English teacher living and working in
Rome and would like to offer my services free of charge to anyone who would
like to make use of them. If you wish to have something proof-read or
corrected, I will be more than willing to help.
Why? I want to. I teach English to school children between the ages of 5 and
15 years and I miss the "adult" contact in lessons. I want to do it free
because I want to offer something, I want to help by offering my time.
I am open to suggestions as to how I can be of help, feel free to make
them!!

Personally, I would simply suggest you stay with us and have your say in
anything that pops up in the group. The open public discussion is always fun
and, more often than not, decisive in clearing up doubts.
Glad you're with us,

 I am open to suggestions as to how I can be of help, feel free to make them!!
You might like to help emgipi with her title in the thread "Le corrispondenze al
di là della traduzione"; I'm not doing very well with it so far, and it's more
your field than mine.
(Did I remember to say welcome?)

You're welcome, Nick!
I am only 17 years old, but don't worry, I won't take advantage of you !
There is a great variety of matters here, so I guess there will be some food
for you too...
Anyway, welcome again !
Bye Asoka xx'82

Thank you Isabella for your welcome. Your written English is perfect by the
way. I will help in every way I can.

Thank you for the welcome. As for the inundated mailbox, if I can be of more
assistance than the majority of English Teachers in the State schools of
Rome, I don't mind.

Rome, I don't mind.
LOL... I can read the truth between the lines now. 
Offering to be even doubly as helpful and competent as the majority of
English Teachers (now there's an overstatement if I ever saw one) in the
State schools of Rome (OK, make that 'the country') is not exactly going to
break your back, is it? :-)))
(The bitchy remark doesn't include our very own Salvatore, of course...).
And thanks for the nice words concerning my written English. Just wait until
you hear me sing the Eagles in a posh British accent.

<As an overweight nurse from Manchester once told me "You made my day" dear
Queen of mine.
   BUT I have to make a very serious statement :
   A few years ago (not many I'm afraid ) a Law or Sociology degree was
enough to become a
    language teacher.
In this godforsaken country nobody has ever attempted to verify the teaching
skills of any teacher,
let alone language teachers,one might read a sports magazine instead of
teaching the class and nobody would ever find out.
Most of the students don't give a monkey's toss about learning something if
they can help it and most of the
Italian headmasters and teachers are thick as thieves (I love this language
and its idiomatic expressions).
Some might say (together with the Oasis ) why are you a teacher ?
Doing my duty and minding my own own business I don't see why I should leave
such an easy job to do
and since I think I'm a responsible person I hope I would be able to do it
when and if somebody somewhere decides that teaching is a hard job indeed
and it should be done by teachers instead of engineers and lawyers
hunting for a State pension, their bored wives who only care about their
next fur coat they can buy with the
money they nick  from school and the other 40% of unqualified people who are
crammed together in the  box of sardines called Scuola Italiana.

And you have a right to be, dear Sal. 
I won't launch here into a lengthy discussion of the why's and wherefore's
la Scuola Italiana should have become what it has, it would be useless and
it might turn nasty.
I just want to tell you that if the system hasn't crumbled to pieces
altogether yet, and there are still pupils (like me when I was one) who are
willing and able to learn something and are not totally put off by the
thought of further education, we just owe it to people like you. Not much of
a consolation I know, but there you go. I don't think there's a way you
might be able to do your work less conscientiously thann you do, and still
look at yourself in the mirror in the morning (whistling a Nancy Sinatra
tune no doubt, he he)...
Have yourself a big hug and keep up the good work.
