Lesson 1

The language
In order to blend in quickly and become a real Italian you have to learn the language, or that is what my simple mind thought. No, Italians have a different language; the language of Shout and Gesture. To get your point across in any conversation you need to start talking louder and louder until the state of being Italian, which for us equals ….Shouting.

Naturally shouting is not enough, you have to use you hands. While the average European is only be able to use of finger for a gesture, Italians can do this with 10! So much skills that not even their mobile phones drop on the floor or their sunglasses move from their nose.

But I have to add they always have style doing in. Something my ‘learn Italian in 3 months’ book never mentioned but I have to admit I am only at page 10.
