Yes, I admit, I have a real obsessive passion for the foreign languages learned on the field. For me, to succeed in using a new grammatical structure without having to spend times and times on the books, is some as to succeed in breaking my personal limits.

From when I have memory, the English has always been the international language for excellence and its study it is obligatory I believe by now in every part of the world. To the beginning I have found it hard. The teacher was not interested to do well her job, I didn’t like her, the explanations on the grammar confused me and the material was monotonous. I also admit that I have never been a student model and I am never applied me seriously.

For this reason my approach to the study of the foreign languages up to these last years has always been enough weak. I had never found a reason to apply me in the study of foreign languages. There has been then my first cultural exchange and I have been in the situation to have to talk to people that didn’t absolutely understand me. From that moment everything is changed. The feeling of impotence in front of the barrier of the language has given me that motivation that I looked for to learning the English and then French after. Read books, watch movie in original language every day and converse with people gave me great results and satisfaction. Finally now to 27 years, I am able to talk to foreign people and to entertain relationships with people of other countries without too many problems.

After having learned French, enough to be able to talk to someone, and to have improved my English, thanks to the contacts had with other volunteers, I wanted to try something completely new.

Bulgarian seems me exotic, rich, elegant and complex in scheming way. To succeed in thinking in Bulgarian it means to resolve a mathematical dilemma in every sentence to find the solution to an enigma that seems impossible to solve. I have always adored the culture of east Europe and I think that the languages of the Slavic log have a so particular and fascinating musicality to be unique to the world.

I have been studying by now the Bulgarian language for one month and I will be honest: the Cyrillic alphabet and the Bulgarian language are one of the most difficult challenge that I have decided to face in my life. Everything is different, you cannot even try to improvise because everything it is completely new.

Only relief is that to find, sometimes, some word that resembles to the correspondent Italian word. Although the reading has become by now very simpler in comparison to the beginning, the conversation stays a problem that however I am sure I will resolve. At least for the moment the road it is in slope but as we tell Italy, we  can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
