Thank you for this request! Let's first talk about the Gym experience and my English: just this month I renewed the lessons for the third consecutive year, with the formula: three per week. I use these daily lessons to try to maintain my level and try to progress. In short, to practice English... The lessons help me not only with English but with having a weekly obligation/occupation instead of watching television on the sofa (I am a pensioner and inactivity is harmful). The commitment is not always at the highest level however it is what I can do in my current physical and mental condition. I could improve! The study, as I think you can imagine, also involves the use of computer dictionaries and translators. Which is very difficult to happen on the street. However, I am able to give speeches, solve possible problems and move around in countries where English is spoken (in the UK it is, where I have more difficulty). Now talk about me: I am an Italian born in Venezuela where I lived for twenty-five years. I have now been in Italy for forty-four years. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and have now been retired for two years. At work I was the purchasing manager, product manager, technical instructor, product warranty manager. I have done this job for thirty years! This is why I have traveled many times to Europe, the USA and China. My favorite sports are: trekking, swimming and canyoning (in summer)... even some via ferrata! I live in Parma, my partner. My favorite readings are: non-fiction. My favorite holidays are islands with mountains, so I can do my two sports. I have no children. I am a somewhat difficult person, yet totally sincere (the truth hurts!) and honest. Thanks
