🇮🇹 Corinne: Incredibile che i 30 giorni siano già finiti!
Dopo pochi giorni scrivevo già più velocemente. Dopo alcune settimane ho iniziato a usare parole che non sapevo di conoscere. Grazie alla varietà delle attività ho potuto fare pratica con tutti i tempi verbali.
Scrivere il dialogo con le regole mi ha fatto usare l’imperativo. Non uso mai questo tempo quando parlo, quindi ho dovuto pensare molto. Mi è piaciuta molto l’attività del viaggio nel tempo perché vorrei vivere la storia dal vivo. Ho scritto questo pezzo molto velocemente e senza pensare troppo.
Per il viaggio nel futuro volevo usare il tempo futuro, ma era un po’ difficile, quindi alla fine ho scelto il presente.
💖💖 Caro Carmine, grazie mille per questa sfida! Voglio ringraziarti di cuore per tutto quello che fai. So che correggere i testi ogni giorno è un lavoro enorme. Apprezzo molto che trovi il tempo per aiutare. È un piacere partecipare! 💖💖
🇬🇧 Corinne: I can’t believe the 30 days are already over!
After just a few days, I was already writing faster. After a few weeks, I started using words I didn’t even know I knew. Thanks to the variety of activities, I was able to practice all the verb tenses.
Writing the dialogue with the rules made me use the imperative. I never use that tense when I speak, so I really had to think about it. I loved the “time travel” activity because I’d love to experience that story firsthand. I wrote that piece very quickly without overthinking it.
For the “trip to the future,” I wanted to use the future tense, but it was a little tricky, so in the end, I chose the present.
💖💖 Dear Carmine, thank you so much for this challenge! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. I know that correcting texts every day is a huge amount of work. I really appreciate that you take the time to help. It’s a pleasure to participate! 💖💖
🇮🇹 Groszek: Questa sfida dei 30giorni è finita molto presto. Ogni giorno aspettavo con entusiasmo un nuovo argomento. Ho trovato tutte le attività utili. Mi hanno dato l’opportunita di staccarmi dalla routine delle faccende domestiche. Mi è piaciuto molto pensare a cosa scrivere nei miei testi.
Carmine, grazie mille per questa meravigliosa sfida, per aver preparato delle attività così interessanti e per aver corretto i miei errori.
🇬🇧 Groszek: This 30-day challenge went by so fast for me. Every day, I eagerly looked forward to the new topic. I found all the activities useful. They gave me a chance to take a break from the routine of my household chores. I really enjoyed thinking about what to write in my texts.
Carmine, thank you so much for this wonderful challenge, for preparing such interesting activities, and for correcting my mistakes.
🇮🇹 Esther: Ciao!
Prima di tutto voglio ringraziare l’opportunità d’imparare italiano grazie al tuo lavoro. È veramente straordinario! Questa challenge è stata una sfida per imparare così tanto. Hai fatto spremere il nostro cervello! Tutti i giorni ho aspettato la challenge. Avevo voglia di leggere tutte le storie degli altri alunni e anche le tue correzioni, perché sono utili per imparare.
Ammiro tantissimo la cura che hai nel tuo lavoro. È diverso, interessante, divertente, curatissimo…
Per me, questo canale, e il tuo lavoro, è molto di più che imparare italiano. È una piccola isola che mi fa sognare e volare lontano. È come un rifugio che mi rende felice.
Grazie davvero, Carmine, per tutto questo!!💖
🇬🇧 Esther: Hi!
First of all, I want to thank you for the opportunity to learn Italian through your work. It’s truly amazing! This challenge was such a great way to learn so much. You really made us think! Every day I looked forward to the challenge. I was eager to read all the other students’ stories and your corrections, because they’re so helpful for learning.
I really admire the care you put into your work. It’s different, interesting, fun, and so well-curated…
For me, this channel, and all your work, is so much more than just learning Italian. It’s a little island that lets me dream and soar. It’s like a sanctuary that makes me happy.
Thank you so much, Carmine, for all of this!!💖
