I have an Italian friend, so tried to learn Italian. I did French at school (30 years ago), so how hard can it be, right?
Real fucking hard.
WHY DO SO MANY THINGS HAVE GENDERS?! WHY IS AN APPLE TREE HE, BUT AN APPLE IS SHE?! (or is it the other way around?)
I'm English, so I guess I'll just carry on the grand tradition of talking louder and using hand gestures.
fun fact! In french, the slang word for penis (bite) is feminine, so it's la bite.
Makes total sense
Most Italians don't speak correct Italian. As long as you make yourself understood, in day-to-day life it doesn't matter.
Of course work may require you to perfect your language skills for certain roles.
Just wait until you learn about eggs, ears or fingers
Bapidi booopi?
