Hi Dymitri,
It was a pleasure to transcribe your post, I am glad when I can help people, especially people who are suffering for any reason.
I am very happy to learn that my attention was appreciated by you.
I have travelled to many European countries (France, Spain, Germany, Croatia, England, Austria, Switerland, Belgium). I have never been to other continent, therefore I have never been to US.
The sentence you wrote in Italian is perfect; there is no mistakes. Congratulations!
Of course I can help you to improve your Italian.
My Italian is good since I attended University. I would like to help anyone who wants to practice my nice language and culture.
I am very happy to be able to help people to practice my language and culture as a sign of friendship between different countries and people.
It is an activity I am very happy to volunteer for, without expecting anything in return on a web site called Language Exchange.
Therefore, as I help the users of that site, I can also help you with great pleasure.
If you wish, you can write me longer sentences in Italian, and I will be happy to help you with my advice and corrections.
You can talk to me about any topic; I am a person who listens to people.
Today I would like to talk to you about the most beautiful Italian cities. Foreigners often ask me which is the most beautiful Italian city. Well, I have no hesitation in saying that the most beautiful Italian cities are: Florence, Rome, and Venice, in strict alphabetical order. These cities have a great quality and quantity of monuments and works of art; every tourist has their favorite, depending on their tastes and cultural interests. Personally, I put Rome first, for its beauty and enormous quantity of works of art and monuments, but also for its incomparable history: it was the capital of the Roman Empire and has been the seat of the Pope and therefore the center of Christianity for approximately two thousand years (aside from the period in 1300 when the Popes lived in Avignon, France). The fact that I am Catholic contributes to my choice of Rome as the most interesting city in Italy.
Adesso scrivo due righe in Italiano.
Spero che il mio inglese sia comprensibile, non è sempre facile scrivere in una lingua straniera, e l’inglese è così differente dall’italiano.
Spero anche di ricevere presto una tua risposta, sono felice di poter diventare il tuo assistente personale per migliorare il tuo italiano.(I also hope to hear from you soon. I'm happy to become your personal assistant in improving your Italian).
From you name and surname I think you should have east European origins.
I transcribe your Comment reply addressed to me.

Cordiali saluti
