That's good, and I like it, but reading in Italian is different. English is a language I understand, a language I can use, a language I can think with - but Italian is the language I feel with.

You know, I felt verymuch this way when I lived in Japan and spoke/read Japanese day in and day out! It pleased me immensely to be immersed in a different language and to use it competently... but I only ever felt true when I was speaking/hearing English. Does that make sense? Your English is way better than my Japanese was, I'm sure. XD
