We love its accent and the possibility to understand, being understood and communicate with everyone in the whole world

We are not confident at using idiomatic espressions not in a spontaneous way, remembering and properly using phrasal verbs in all the required language abilities. Also listening could be insidious. We think we could improve by practising more and more, using websites or sources possibly to be corrected immediately and by learning terms of a more specific vocabulary.

Stefania and Antonella
We are confident at reading, writing about general themes which let us freely discuss our opinions about them, and applying grammal rules in structures exercises

# data[].attributes.body
We find very useful wordreference because it is a complete dictionary; then Reverso because it shows the actual and different context in which a word or an expression can be used; and also some online newspaper such as The Daily Mail.

# data[].attributes.body
We usually use Wordreference, Reverso, the Free Dictionary, but above all YouTube where we can find any kind of suggestions for improving the language (for example: video tutorials on pronunciation or vocabulary, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
There is an app that's called HelloTalk.
When you create your profile you select which language you can teach and which language you want to learn and than it works as a chat. It also gives you the possibility to correct the other person's mistakes while chatting.
WordReference is always the best online dictionary that we can suggest.

The most diifficult thing for us to do is speaking about complex subjects because we don't have the proper vocabulary. This lack of vocabulary might cause us also some problems into the listening area.
We would like to practise more and be able to speak not only during lessons but also during our everyday life. Reading books and watching tv series and movies in original language could help us to improve our vocabulary.

# data[].attributes.body
The most difficult thing for us is to use a proficiency vocabulary because we tend to use always the same words. We plan to improve this area by reading more and looking up for words we don't know and their meaning. Also we are worried about the final exam because it has always been more difficult than the exercises and the practice we used to do in class.
