Smile Hola/Hello

Hello everyone,

My name is Lawrence (Lorenzo in Spanish/Castillian). I am (24) twenty four years old and I have been studying Spanish on and off since high school. I am pretty good at reading it to myself and out loud but I have trouble speaking and writing it. My ancestory is Italian American.

Hola todos,

Me llamo Lawrence (Lorenzo en espanol/castellano). Tengo (24) veinticuatro y hace liceo que estudio espanol de vez en cuando. Puedo leer espanol muy bien pero no hablo u escribir bien. Mi origen es italiano americano.

My English relates what I want to say about my Spanish speaking, reading, and writing abilities better than my Spanish does. Please correct my Spanish as I go along.

¡Ciao Lorenzo, benvenuto!
He marcado algunas correcciones en rojo, y sugerencias en azul.
Espero que las entiendas y te sirvan de ayuda.
En España, cuando le hablamos a alguien por su nombre (Elaina, Lorenzo...) normalmente le tuteamos (usamos "tú" en vez de la forma con "usted".)
Si hablara contigo formalmente, usaría tu apellido, Sr. [Mr.] Lorenzetti (inventing an Italian second name here, hope you don't mind!)
Si hablase con usted formalmente, usaría su apellido, Sr. [Mr.] Lorenzetti.

Yes it's correct now you can write the accents in the post.
Here in the website you will can use the tools where you can get the accents and the animated icons.

Again you are welcome.

Welcome.

Io ho fatto un corso d'italiano alcuni anni fa, ma io credo que ho dimenticato tutto, sebbene a volte io posso sentire parlare l'italiano e credo que capisco 'quasi' tutto (benne, forse 'quasi' é troppo).

Estupendo, "acento" es siempre masculino como nombre.
