Per lo stesso motivo per cui io potrei benissimo registrarne uno 
americano. A me, invece, è balzato all'occhio "I should practice", ma le 
vie dell'ortografia sono infinite, e in inglese gli errori d'ortografia 
sono, comprensibilmente, più diffusi.
Ciao, FB

 
For FB:
I don't see the original message "Teaching English" or your reply on
libero.it
, so I am starting a new thread.
Yahoo.com in the US provides POP3 email for a fee, but Yahoo.it offers POP3
service without a fee. Libero.it provides POP3 service only to those
connected to the Internet via Libero. POP3 enables downloading of email from
several accounts into your email program, such as IE.
Libero offers newsgroups, so this may be why an American might subscribe to
it.
The smart thing would be to get a Yahoo.it account for mail, and use the
libero account for news.
Of course, this could be a prankster pretending to be an American, but we
shall see.

 sono, comprensibilmente, piů diffusi.
I would more likely say "I need to practice", or "I need the
practice", not "I should". "Should" carries with it the implication
that although I know I should practice, I don't, lazy sot that I am.

It was my impression that FB was suggesting that the poster was a fake
because he/she didn't say "should" instead of "need to", when to me
the English in the post was fine.
Joe from Massachusetts

 the English in the post was fine.
Uh, I see. Actually "i need to practice" sounds fine to me also.
But FB mentions "ortografia", so maybe what he meant to point out was 
the spelling of "practice", at times spelled "practise" in UK.

 shall see.

The poster could be an American, or someone who can access that computer
from some where else using a VPN, a Trojan, a proxy running on that
computer, and so on :-)

We in the US don't differentiate between the verb form "practise" and
the noun form "practice", as they do in the UK.
All the more reason to think the post has a US origin.

The fact that the computer is at the State of Tennessee Department of
Education, and the poster claims to have a degree in Education makes
the post seem credible.
I hope the poster, if authentic, will become a regular on this group,
so he/she can get some help from you and the others with the Italian
language.

Actually I think "to practise" is _the_ spelling in the UK (it's not 
like "apologize/ise", that is), but I now realize the spelling 
"practice" even for the verb it correct in the US.
Bye, FB

 americano. 
non è la stessa cosa! :-D
Un americano è molto improbabile che conosca libero e ancora di più che 
ci abbia una casella di posta.

Hai ragione se si trattasse di un americano che non capisce l' italiano.
Chi lo sta imparando invece potrebbe aver iniziato a frequentare chat e siti
italiani, quindi potrebbe conoscerlo benissimo...

 I would also like to know if there are jobs teaching English in Italy.
There are lots of jobs teaching English in Italy, especially in the big
cities, of course. Tough job and rather thankless, but you won't run out
of it.

I don't see any mistakes. Actually, it would have been odd to me had she 
wrote "I should practice", as if it were a duty? "I need to" sounds right to 
me here.
As in, she "ha bisogno" di fare pratica. Not that she "dovrebbe".

Il verbo l'ho citato a memoria/inventato, visto che non era il problema, 
e comunque non è un errore d'ortografia. Mi pareva che anche in 
americano il verbo fosse preferibilmente "practise", ma già sospettavo 
che le vie dell'ortografia fossero infinite.

Per vari (buoni) motivi, ho tre caselle di posta italiane, e tre
americane.
Joe from Massachusetts

In reading all of the previous posts I see that not only my italian is
closely scrutinized (which is what I want.........) but I also need to be
careful in writing my english!!!! haha!!!
I'm confused about the posting that this is a "fake post"???? I am only
scratching the surface in my understanding of italian and all the
vocabulary, verb tenses/conjugations/etc. However, I really do desire help
in my learning. I have made several friends in the chat rooms and I am very
grateful.
Thank you for your answers to my questions! :)

Am I not supposed to be connected to this server? I have no knowledge of
what makes the internet, Pop3, etc. work so if I am doing something wrong,
let me know!!! :)
I do have an account with 
libero.it
 and enjoy meeting others in the
community chat. I hope this will also be a forum that will help me practice
(practise) my italian! ;-)
Thanks! I also posted in the thread of my original post.

There is always the suspicion that a post such as yours might be the
work of a creative Italian male attempting to create havoc. It is
probably unusual for Americans to have Italian accounts, so maybe this
is one reason why it could be suspected that yours was a "fake" post.
I have several Italian email accounts, including one with 
libero.it
.
The most useful email account is the 
yahoo.it
 email account, since it
allows you to download your email to your mail application, such as
Microsoft Outlook. This type of account is known as a POP3 account. It
is interesting to note that Yahoo.com, the US version of Yahoo,
provides free email, but charges a fee for POP3 (the ability to
download mail directly to your mail application). It is for this
reason that I also have a 
yahoo.it
 email account.
My ISP provides me with a large number of newsgroups, including this
one. There are some newsgroups which my ISP does not provide, so I
occasionally go online to the 
libero.it
 newsgroups.
Anything you post here in Italian will be duly corrected by the many
helpful Italian members of the group.
Any questions you have about Italian will also be answered. And of
course, you might be able to help some of the Italians with their
questions about English.
Just in case you are not aware of them, here are some useful Italian s
ites.
Some of these dictionaries, such as Garzanti, have extensive verb
conjugations.

I don't know if you have a broadband connection or not, but if you do,
you can watch archived programs from RAI TV, and also 9 daily
newscasts, slightly delayed.

There is a catalog for Raiclick Web TV in pdf format, updated more or
less monthly, here;

I spent 6 years in Italy with the US Army, and I try to keep up with
the language.
I had English friends who taught English in private language schools
in Italy, and some of them were not too fluent in Italian, but their
classes were conducted almost exclusively in English. I'm sure that
other members of this group can enlighten you more on what type of
qualifications would be necessary if you wanted to teach in Italy, and
about what types of schools would hire an American teacher.

Greetings RaeAnna, relax, there's nothing to be worried about!
I guess you access your mailbox through a web-based interface (e.g.
http://liberomail.libero.it
) therefore it is perfectly legitimate
having an account on an Italian server and living in the US (or in
Tasmania for that matters!).
Enjoy your account and your chat conversations! You deserve it (I do
appreciate the effort! Learning a different language is not an easy
task!)
Ciao!
