Want to learn Italian/Sicilian
I am an American of Italian/Sicilian decent. I would like to improve my use of the Italian language.

I can get by in basic Italian, but since my family is from Sicily, a lot of what I know is regional dialect.

I would like to become proficient in both Italian and Sicilian if there is someone out there who can help.

Language pair: English; Italian

Re:Want to learn Italian/Sicilian
Ciao Filippo,sono Salvo,italiano e vivo in Sicilia,penso di poterti aiutare.Il Siciliano é una dialetto solo parlato,la sua forma scritta è in effetti pochissimo usata e molto difficile,diciamo che è una esigenza letteraria. Di esso esistono tante varianti ed inflessioni secondo i vari luoghi dell'Isola e buona parte si va perdendo o trasformando sotto l'influenza dell'italiano dopo la scolarizzazione di massa da molti decenni ormai.
I'm interested in improving my english and I hope you can help me expecially with the american english. Is it for a native american easy to understand people speaking british english?
I hope we can keep in touch.
