    Interesting @Lu_Corde – I too have noticed some prejudices in Italy around accents unfortunately.

    I’m really happy to hear having an accent isn’t an issue for you – it is totally the right attitude to have.

    N.B

    ⚠️ I think this is due to the fact that the British Empire was composed from a lot of different country

    If you want to use the word ‘composed’ you have to use the preposition ‘by’. However, there is a better phrasal verb you can use in this case: to be made up of (plus watch your agreement):

    > I think this is due to the fact that the British Empire was MADE UP OF a lot of different countrIES

    ⚠️Some more errors with prepositions:

    > have power on someone else >>> have power OVER someone else

    > I moved in Turin >>> to move TO a place

    > was full of prejudices on >>> prejudices ABOUT

    > I never felt discriminated >>> I never felt discriminated AGAINST
