You are currently trying to improve your knowledge of a language which is not your first language. You have a friend who speaks this language fluently. You have decided to write to this friend.

Write a letter to your friend. In your letter,

• explain why you want to improve your knowledge of this language

• ask him/her for suggestions on how to learn more quickly

• propose that you meet your friend to talk about it

Dear Sena,

Hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of your spirits. I am happy to tell you that I am learning your native language, Italian.

As you know, I’m working for an Italian Wellness Center now. I can communicate with Italian patients in English, but I think it will be more influential if I speak in their mother tongue to provide more fruitful treatment.

I wonder whether you could give me a few trips on how to speed up my Italian learning? Do you think that I should have lessons, or are there any self-study books and Youtube channels which you can recommend? Sometimes I think about enrolling a crash course in Italian, but I thrust away from this idea because I think this might be too intense. Actually, I’m interested in hearing your view on this subject, too.

I would be really happy if I could have the chance to chat with you on this issue in a familiar Italian restaurantn in the district where I live. While we are eating Italian pasta, we can make brain storm about this subject. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Take care and stay fine.

All my love,

Kubra Yilmaz.
