After more 'than four years in England as my English still at a tourist: I have to often repeat the phrase to make me understand, I often touches me repeat the phrase to understand. This is really annoying !

I shot back, the guilt 'of the undersigned: too many Italian friends and colleagues, too much politics in Italian song - and on the other hand' so (gattopardescamente) dynamic that if you lose a bet most do not understand 'anything - too many dvd Italians, too Roar of the Rabbit, too Skype with friends Italians emigrated. But part

and 'guilt of England, in the sense of land more attractive for other Italian: Italian (from Puglia) and 'the girl who cut my hair, Italian (Neapolitan emigrated to Buenos Aires) was the teacher of tango workshops a couple of weeks ago, the Italian waiter at the restaurant of the Tate, Italian ( from Sicily) instructor course. I mean in this context how do you improve?

For this reason, when a few weeks ago I met a girl who spoke a little English 'of the Italian language, I proposed a swap soon. We met once and it 'was an interesting chat. Among the things come out, the subtle difference in pronunciation between living (before the dry and short) and leaving ( and sounding like the longer). What to think, and 'also pretty obvious, almost like sheet / shit, sheep / ship. Come to think of. Speaking

and 'but' came out that this girl, cause excessive cost of living if he returns to live with her (sounds familiar?) At the end of October so he'll go 'way from Bristol.

LSE

LSE is not 'the acid that is in alphabetical order after LSD;) but rather' the acronym the London Stock Exchange (in short the stock) but also, because acronyms are often not bijective, the London School of Economics.

I never thought of having contacts with them. Instead, with one of these ... A

couple of weeks ago, and Nemo 'went to London for a workshop of tango, along with its tangoamica -' cause as you know it takes two to tango , and because, as I say at the beginning of this blog, We are a generation "low budget " dell'accomodation research we have found an excellent logistics solution in the dormitory of the LSE (in the sense of London School of Economics). Comfortable room and home office of student-youthful atmosphere that is always a pleasure again.

The day of the workshop in reality 'has been throughout a race against time, so start with Fantozzi, or Murphy's law as the totem of cultural reference, with loss of the bus, looking for a second bus, London closed due to highway accidents, detours in the English countryside, arriving in London in the late booked to lose the workshop, replacement with the next (translation: jump lunch), travel to leave the luggage at the LSE, sandwich grabbed the flight path, back to the room because shoes forget (my) second class with energy in reserve, fast interspersed in the restaurant of the Tate, microsiesta insufficient room, music and tango all night milonga in apnea.

Pero 'definitely LSE! (Lovely and succesfull Experience)

To pop up

---

"It's funny how you use 'pop up', it makes me laugh, the expression is pop over".

Qualche settimana fa ho scoperto un altro errore che faccio da praticamente quando sono qua e che nessuno (maledetta politeness!) mi aveva corretto. Ho dovuto aspettare un messaggino di un'olandese...ditemi voi!

Appena arrivato in UK avevo catturato l'espressione "pop up" al lavoro, sentendo parlare di qualcuno che era andato al desk di qualcun'altro, per cui ho cominciato a tradurre "passo dopo al tuo desk" con "I'll pop up later to your desk".

In realta' il messaggino e' stata l'occasione per approfondire il discorso un sabato sera a cena, cena in cui, mi sia concessa la sottolineatura smaccatamente autocompiacente, il sottoscritto ha prodotto 12 pizze homemade per la gioia dei palati britannici.

Ho scoperto che pop up va bene solo se c'e' un effetto sorpresa associato: insomma qualcuno che, si, magari passa al tuo desk ma senza che te lo avesse anticipato. L'espressione giusta e' pop over.

Pero' questo e' solo l'inizio perche' poi c'e' pop around (se magari e' il tuo vicino che viene a trovarti, nel senso di qualcuno che sta around). Pop in se si raggiunge qualcuno in un posto chiuso, pop out se ci si incontra fuori, pop down per qualcuno che sta al piano sotto cosi' come pop up per il piano di sopra.

Morale (o piu' prosaicamente Lesson learnt ): verificare le espressioni catturate nell'aria prima dell'uso!
