Hello guys,
first of all this forum is awesome and really usefull, many thanks for your great job.
I'm from Italy and I know my English skills are kinda poor, but somehow i can manage conversation with people from a lot of countries since i work in a cruise ship.
Lately i had to speak with English/American people and i saw all the weakness of my speeches.
I hate that when i try to speak English my brain first elaborate the sentence in Italian and then it translates word by word.
It might works sometimes, but i do believe it sounds really funny (or horrible ) to a native English speaker.
How can i change this attitude? I'm trying by reading books, watching movies or youtube's video in English but so far nothing changed.
Thank you, have a nice day!
