Looking for Native Italian Speakers

Get in touch with Gioxxx. I think his wife might be able to help you on that.

Thanks Brightonguy. I'll leave him a message.

Just one reply! Seriously?

I am sure this post and my inbox would have been pouring with replies if it had been posted by a female! lol!

Your request was quite clear - you were looking for native Italian speakers. That ruled a lot of us out. And it appears native Italian speakers are either very few in our forum or not interested in teaching you Italian

At least brightonguy was kind enough to give you Gioxxx's contact.

... And as you rightly pointed out, you are a guy

Here's a small lesson in Italian to start you off.

The "thumbs up" sign could either mean the number 1 or the equivalent of showing the middle finger, in parts of Italy. So do keep that in mind when using hand gestures while on tour there.

Best wishes

Hi haseebahm! Well, I guess Gioxxx gave you my contact details a while ago, but you didn't get back to me... anyway, I do teach Italian, so pm me if you are interested.

Farhaz, are you sure about the thumb thing??? I have never heard of it before

@ Farhaz: Just have a look here...



Italian Gestures - Chapter 1

I read about the thumbs up thing online.

But now that real Italians have cleared it for us, I can happily do a thumbs up in Italy without the risk of offending anyone
