Italians are well famous for their hand gestures. We can go on and on talking only by using our hands and perfectly understand each other. It’s our “Trade mark”, we don’t even realize it, until someone starts emulating us (see my boyfriend when I talk to my parents at the phone).
You are on a trip, in Italy: Sardinia, Tuscany, Rome…whatever! You meet an Italian. Do you want to make them laugh or impress them? Start to talk and gesticulate like them! You will see an instant smile on their face (and they probably will think you are a bit crazy, but that’s part of the game right?.)
If you know some Italians, you must have seen that we have a lot of sayings that use hand gestures! Learn to talk with your hands like a real Italian!
