They read the same as Newbie Lesson #5 and are nothing like the Informal Italian and Informal English bits. Any chance of a correction? :smile: Hi,

Mario, It is better to say "Le ragazze italiane sono aggressive, ma anche qui lo sono!" "Italian girls are aggressive, but they are so also here!" We prefer to use the plural form because by doing so it becomes a general statement and not a direct one. Thank you for your compliments. It is going to get even better! Ciao Marco Dear J. Mario,
It is better to say
“Le ragazze italiane sono aggressive, ma anche qui lo sono!”

I do ask people the age of their children, sometimes. My daughter and I are often asked what her (my daughter's) age is. So maybe this is a good thing to learn if you have kids, and meet people with kids. I don’t ask adults their age. I do ask people the age of their children, sometimes.
