Titolo: For All

I teach electronics and all manual of this matter are written in English.
Moreover if I want bring up to date (aggiornarmi?) about
this matter I am forced to apply to internet, in which the language largely
used is English.
So for me learning English is more a necessity than an hobby.
So I'm searching anyone that would amailing with me in this language.
Naturally I would desire that our conversation can be interesting for both.
So I speak of my interest.
First,  I love literature, and also I am a writer (a little
writer).
I've written three novels but only the first was published.
Its title is "Il volto oscuro del Signore" and deals of the hidden side of
human soul.
My idea is that we know worse a thing as it is so near to us.
The object that is nearest to me is myself.
So the object that I know worse is myself.
For this motive, if I want to have a possibility of knowing myself it is
necessary to go away myself.
This is what a writer do when he writes a novel.
He invents many characters that he thinks different one from an other and
from himself.
Actually every character that he invented is a side of the personality of
the writer.
An idea that sometimes comes to my mind is that the history is a tale that
God has written, and men are
his characters. So each of us is a side of God's face.
I love very much poetry.
My preferred poet is a priest: David Maria Turoldo (O sensi miei....).
But I love very much also Cesare Pavese and Fernando Pessoa.
I think that poetry, as love, is the thing that bring us nearer God, if God
is happiness and eternity.
I beg your pardon for my mistakes and hope that you can understand what I've
written although them.
Thank you for your attention. Thanks
Giuseppe

Thank you Joey for your interesting and important suggestions.
You was been very kind with me and very comprehensive.
Naturally I haven't greatly enjoyed your reference to my possible state of
Alzheimer, even though
my age (55) is compatible with this hypothesis.
Certainly my ignorance of English language is abysmal!!!
I have studied English at school more than 30 years ago and, in my opinion,
italian instruction
in forein languages was largely insufficient and, perhaps, it is  so today.
I would know the opinion on this matter of italian teachers of foreign
languages.
I don't know why when we go abroad we are the only people that don't know
English
at a decorous level.
Yesterday I tryed to understand the speech of President Bush with his
challenging Kerry: it was
a disaster! I wasn't able to understand almost any word.
So I will be very gratefull to you if you want teach me a little English and
give to me other suggestions.
I think that your suggestions may be usefull also to many other hosts of the
NG.
For this reason I have answered you publicly and not privately.
I appreciate very much your American English.
My best regards
    Giuseppe
