Non ho mai fumato. (I’ve never smoked).

oh!
If you were in Italy and would have asked this kind of question to a woman she would have said:
“Non si chiede l’età alle donne!!!”
- don’t ask the women their age! -
anyway…
WE are very young… 
from some points of view 
someone wanna guess?
C!

aww,you guys should’ve put it in your profile.you two shouldn’t be afraid to answer!
but fine i will guess…25 for Marco & eh …24 for Cinzia? At least Marco says he’s about 19 or 20 but you two have done so much in life it’s way to young! Also the funny thing I’ve noticed about italian is that it’s soo similar to spanish so it’s easy since spanish is my first language.

Salve!
Io ho fumato solo una volta - a quei tempi cantavo in un coro. Alla prima sigaretta la mia voce si e’ abbassata circa due ottave 
, e, comunque, non mi e’ piaciuto il fumo in bocca per cui non ci ho provato piu’. Menomale! E’ un’abitudine poco sana e molto costosa. 
Ciao Chris, attento! tutte le parole che finiscono in ‘ione’ sono femminili. Forse volevi dire ‘un nuovo vaccino’? ‘vaccino’ e’ il farmaco, ‘vaccinazione’ e’ la procedura. Solo un dettaglio pero’ perche’il tuo italiano e’ fantastico!

Dear Mimi,
you went really close… but just for MY age!!!
So you’re spanish? Where about in Spain? I’ve been there and I loved it!
Spain is so close to Italy, the culture, the people and I simply adore the language!
