What is the best mobile free app to learn english ?

Hi All

I'm not an English mother tongue so I have to learn the most used worldwide language.
My level is medium and I am searching continuously a good free mobile app to learn it.

Actually I am using Duolingo  a good application but very basic.

Recently I discover a new Application named Knudge.me. It is not totally free but in free version permits a good learning level.
Application presents some games to learn new words, it permits read a little text and answer a some related questions.
I like it. I am using it for 3 days but I think it's a good app.

In the next day I will have an idea more specify while the question remain "What is the best mobile free app to learn english ?", do you know the answer ?

Stay Tuned.

How will be this year ?

Hi all

Every year in January this is the most common question "How will be this year ?".
Another common question is "It will be a good year or a bad year?".

Really nobody knows the answers.

There are many events in progress in 2018 in the World and in Italy, for me most important are :

• North Korea crisis 
• March Italian Elections 
• Crypto currencies
• Brexit

North Korea crisis is a matter between two big child named Kim and Donald that are playing with the world destiny. We hope it's just  a game but sadly It'is not.

About Elections in Italy, really I haven't too much hopes. Italy is a decadent country tired about false political promises, probably the winner'll be M5S, the new party leaded by a comedian with good intentions but little political experience. 

About Crypto Currencies I think that this year will be the year of its definitely affirmation or most probably the end of the speculation. In any case something will happen about.

Last but not last, Brexit will continue in the 2018 with strong impacts in the European Community at any level, economic and politic.

So the only thing that remains is see events and hope.

Stay tuned.

A failure announced

Hi all

Today I want speak about new Nintendo Console. After the failure of the sale of the Wii U, Nintendo try again with another one.
Like Wii U, this console permits two use, home and portable.

Nintendo Switch is the name of this console, I think that this name is due to this double use. In portable use, it is like a tablet with a screen of 6.2 inches and a resolution of 720p. At the screen tablet you can add the two controls used in home use.

In this link there is a good review.

In my opinion this new console will be a sure failure for these six reasons :

1) This console isn't backward compatible with Wii U and Nintendo DS.
2) This double nature (portable and home) was a failure in Wii U.
3) The design is retro and the colors aren't attractive (but this is my personal opinion) grey is horrible color.
4) The price of 329 Euro it's too expensive in comparison with PS4 and XBOX.
5) Nothing innovative.
6) 3 March is a wrong date of announcement and sale, just after Christmas time.


Stay tuned.

The 2017's second post

Hi All

The second post of this 2017. Many changes will came : a new USA president, many changes in my work and a little hope to change mine.

But first all, this new USA President, TRUMP, what about him? The world is really worried. Many people think that he is like a new Berlusconi but with a large audience and power. Really I haven't an opinion about him, Obama was one of the biggest disappointments in the history. Really I think that Trump will be another anonymous president a little bit more folkloric nothing more. Probably he will not end its mandate if he does something against the interests of lobbies or somethings strange, someone speaks about not much more two years of presidency, we will see.

Another item of this new year, is my actually work, many changes will come and not all goods. Actually Vivendi controls TIM but some rumors speak about a possible sale to ORANGE (ex Telecom France). If it's true another big changes will come. We will wait for it.

My new job, I hope and pray about this. Finally I hope that 2017 will be the year of my personal change to improve my work life and my life in general.

So we go into this new year.

Stay tuned.
