Apr 28th, 2011 | By Giulia | Category: English

Not only what we say, but also how we say it, makes the difference. Especially when it comes to our feelings! The research for the best terms is not only an exercise for linguists, or a sophisticated little quirk, but a real need which could help us to improve our lives.
