    Description

    Hi, my name is Bresilda. I'm 36 years old but I've lived in Italy since I was 10. I'm a hairdresser and my husband is a barber. We have our own salon, so we're very busy with work.
    I have two daughters, aged 12 and 14, and a small dog.
    I'm a very creative person; in my free time, I enjoy restoring furniture, painting the house, sewing, and so on.
    Being a working mother, I sometimes enjoy doing nothing demanding on the weekends, just enjoying my home.
    I just finished my year-long English course.
    Unfortunately, due to lack of time, I wasn't able to continue my studies.
    That's why I'm here; I'd like to learn to speak English well, perhaps by hosting a native speaker in my home.
    I prefer to host only women because I have two daughters who are often home alone.

    Ciao,mi chiamo Bresilda.Ho 36 anni, sono nata in Albania ma vivo in Italia da quando ne avevo 10.Sono una parrucchiera e mio marito è un barbiere.Abbiamo un nostro salone quindi siamo molto impegnati con il lavoro.
    Ho due figlie di 12 e 14 anni e un cane di piccola taglia.
    Sono una persona molto creativa, nel mio tempo libero mi piace restaurare mobili, pitturare la casa, cucire ecc.
    Essendo madre e lavoratrice a volte nel weekend mi piace non fare nulla di impegnativo ma semplicemente godermi la mia casa.
    Ho appena finito il mio percorso scolastico durato 1 anno per imparare l' inglese.
    Purtroppo per mancanza di tempo non ho potuto proseguire con gli studi.
    Per questo motivo sono qua', mi piacerebbe poter imparare a parlare bene inglese magari ospitando un madrelingua a casa mia.
    Preferisco ospitare solamente donne perché ho due figlie femmine spesso stanno a casa da sole.

    The guest would have a lot of freedom at our house because we are almost always away during the day, so he could decide to relax at home or go visit the various cities without any problems.

    L' ospite sarebbe molto libero a casa nostra perché noi durante la giornata siamo quasi sempre via quindi potrebbe decidere di stare in relax a casa oppure andare a visitare le varie città senza problemi.

    The only contribution I'd like in exchange for room and board is to teach me to speak English while respecting my daily schedule.
    Since I'm very busy, the host would be very free, but at the same time, they would have to find time to teach me when I'm free.

    L' unico contributo che mi piacerebbe in cambio di vitto e alloggio è quello di insegnarmi a parlare inglese rispettando i miei orari quotidiani.
    Considerando che io sono molto impegnata l' ospite sarebbe molto libero però allo stesso tempo dovrebbe trovare il tempo di insegnarmi quando sono libera io.
