Further, I recommend BBC Learning English or BBC Sounds, if you want your ears to get used to spoken english. They are two apps: the former is dedicated to, well, learning; the latter is a superset of the first and hosts podcasts, documentaries, audiobooks, news and other stuff. Just raise your phone's volume and reduce the playback speed as needed.
If you are looking for some forum dedicated to new learners, Wordreference has a nice forum:
https://forum.wordreference.com/. Choose your native language and interct with people that are aware of the initial hurdles.
Another place is english.stackexchange.com; however, SE might not be friendly and bears some criticisms. It is not even a forum, strictly speaking, and prepare to get downvotes or duplicate flags.
Duolingo has a forum as well: https://forum.duome.eu/.

Yes, I'm already moving to get the passport. Thx!
If you want to come to Big Mathsjam you should probably get a passport as soon as possible. It can take a while, and you don't want to be spending money on flights if you don't have one. The MJ ticket itself is harmless enough as MJ gives refunds.

Yes, I Have, would you suggest me some series or movies?
"suggest me" sounds unnatural to me. Just "suggest" is probably preferable. But "Would you suggest some series or movies?" still sounds a bit strange. Hmm. "What would you suggest?" "Do you have any recommendations?". That sort of thing?

Swan is magnificent. I was about to suggest it to you but I clearly don't need to.
Great!
"ghira":
You need to revise how to ask questions, I think.
no "the" before "grammar". "refresh" should probably be "revise". "for correcting".
"if I know"?
talked
humans
made to answer
Does God exist?
after
"many years of developed"??
"it was able to"
probably "I heard"
Thx!
"Cosimo00110":
Too many mistakesI’m a poor boy. Ok seriously I need to refresh the grammar. Thank you a lot for correct my mistakes. I have “practical english usage” by Swan. You think is a good book?

Yes I’m interested in UK english, if you know please suggest me sone UK SF series or movie.

"Cosimo00110":
I know Asimov was An atheist but one of his stories talk about a computer built by the humans, that computer is made for answer a simple question “God exist?” And in the end affer many years of developed of that computer, it can answer the question. I’ve heard that story from Paolo Bonolis XD

I second gio73's recommendation of "The Expanse". It's one of the best things I've seen for years. It's American, FYI.
The miniseries and the first two seasons of the rebooted "Battlestar Galactica" are also very good. You can pretend seasons 3 and 4 do not exist. This is also an American series.
"Black Books" is a very good UK series but is not SF.
"Sapphire and Steel" is UK and somewhere between SF and very very strange. However, it's not what any normal person would call fast-paced.
If you want UK stuff and police type shows are ok you could try "Cracker" and "Happy Valley".

Quite a lot of mistakes, I fear.
I prefer to watch
"series like" or "series such as"
"It is too strange for me"
"I know about he only one tale"??? Maybe "I only know about one of his stories"?
and "Do you know that story?"
It would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Question
You mention UK English in your original message. Do you want some suggestions for UK SF series?

Mmm
I remember a tale in "I robot" where an artificial intelligence, while taking over a space ship, was mulling over the concept of god
Isac Asimov was an atheist jew, you knew that, didn't you?

I usually don't read books, I prefer watch movies or tv series, I like series as "big bang theory'' or movies like "star trek" , "star wars", "the arrival" , "the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" , "Pi" , "paul" , "indiana jones".

I know Isac Asimov only by rumors, I know about he only one tale about a computer who become a God at the end. You know that tale?

@gio73 well, science fiction is one of my favorite subject, maybe we can open another topic about it. I agre with your idea.
Wonderful!
One of my fa authors is isac asimov, what have you read written by him?
Series: Ghira and I have watched expanse ( you can find it on prime video)
"Cosimo00110":
@ghira ok, I understand it, I try this way that you have show me
"Ok, I understand. I'll try this way that you have shown me.", perhaps. Fewer errors than your version but .. hmm... doesn't seem like something people would actually say. "I'll try doing as you suggest.", maybe? "I'll try it your way."? Or just "I'll try that." or "I'll give it a go." (I'll try not to do this to every single thing you say unless you say you want me to.)
What sorts of things do you watch / read / listen to? We can suggest some UK TV shows etc. if that would help. For example "Yes, Minister" (later "Yes, Prime Minister") and "Fawlty Towers", even if they aren't SF. "Ultraviolet" is a very good UK more or less SF series. "Cracker" also excellent but not SF. "Doctor Who" is SF but risks being more of a lifestyle than a TV show.
May we suggest Big Mathsjam? https://www.matematicamente.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=221928 That would be a great way to practice listening to and speaking English in a maths context.

If you like maths or science fiction, we may talk about it
It will be a good start

Because I'm very weak in English and I need to explain my doubts in a language were I'm strong in.
Having to explain your problems in English would be useful practice. You can do that here, if you like. (I imagine it's part of the point of this forum) You can use Italian in examples, but let's say questions and answers need to be in English.
"Why can't I say 'Sto essendo mangiato?' in Italian?" for example. Or "What's a good way to say 'Quando si è ricchi...' in English?"
"were I'm strong in" has multiple problems.
"ghira":
Why specifically for Italian speakers? Just find a forum in English about (whatever) and use it.
Because I'm very weak in English and I need to explain my doubts in a language were I'm strong in.
"ghira":
"satisfact" should probably be "satisfied". And "satisfied with" not "satisfied about", I'd say. "satisfied by" also exists but probably not here.
"Someone can help me?" should probably be "Can someone help me?" You might ask "Someone can help me?" to express astonishment or incredulity if someone has just told you you can be helped and you can't really believe it.
Thx
