Why only once a week with a boy, but no limits with a girl? Ah well,
I suppose that's Italian boys for you.

You are welcome to join the group and get involved in the
discussions, and, if you want, people here will help you with your
English. (For instance, you should have written "which" instead of
"wich", and "would" instead of "could", and "employed" instead of
"employee". If you want to know why, ask here.) But nobody here is
likely to start an e-mail conversation with you, I'm afraid.
Even only once a week.

Oh, I dunno, it could be fun. I once struck up an email correspondence
with a Japanese Buddhist monk and ended up going over the entire
English version of his web site for him (getting rid of all the
"mandaras", for example).
Alas! The discussions here are but a pale shadow of the group's glory
years and unlikely to much aid an Italian English improver.

 Yes indeed. Although "whith" should be "with" and "wich" should be
"which" - it is tricky knowing where a w takes an h after it unless you
can pronounce the difference between them, which Scots can but many
English cannot. "Wh" should be pronounced as if it were "hw".

Is it that they can't or that they just don't in that version of
English? Not everyone can do a rolled "r" but I assumed everyone could
do a "hw" if they tried(?)

It's so little used that even those who should know get it the wrong way
round in pronunciation. Not long ago I heard a Radio 3 newsreader talk
about the 'hweather forecast'.
