Teach, Learn, Share

Everybody smile in the same language!

Well done is better than well said.

i just found out this things about what no-italian people think about italian people and its quiet funny lol

Once they know you're italian...

... people feel the ipellent urge to mock an italian accent when they meet you

... people start doing that gesture moving their hand up and down with fingers brought together and turned upwards thinking this can be done at any time because it means nothing anyway

... people start talking to you in Spanish

... people tell you you speak good English for being Italian thinking it's a compliment

... if you have blond hair, people will ask you why

... people ask you how you can still like pasta after having had some each and every day of your life (!)

... people start telling you about their touristic journeys to your country and you pretend to listen, nodding your head and smiling while they all say the same words: "Venice", "Florence" and "Rome"

... people assume you come from a torrid hot place with 365 sunny days a year

... people will ask you if Italy is really dangerous as they say

... girls will ask you if Italian guys are really hot as they say

... you can't be late, or they'll blame this on your being Italian

... people start talking soccer

... people start blubbering the few Italian words they know in their terrible accent thinking you'll understand them

... people think you only hang with Italian people and you live with Italian people

... people are surprised you speak a foreign language at all

... people start describing you where to find an Italian restaurant in the surroundings even if you never asked

... you go to an Italian restaurant abroad and you are horrified at the menu, the food, the presentation, the misinterpretations.

...if your name is Giovanni everyone calls you Giovanni Trapattoni.

... people think you know how to cook, especially pizza and tiramisù. (You have no choice anyway, 'cause they'll ask you to do it for them, nevermind they want scialatelli and you're from way up north)

... people will ask you to do the cooking, especially if you're a girl.

... people assume you're a wine expert.

...people assume you're a very bad driver.

... people start repeating the same old sentence: "aah, bella Italiaaaa".

... people assume that just because you're Italian you can never be in a bad mood.

... there it comes the broken record: "Italliaaanooo! Buonisimo! Beliiiisimoooo!!"

....they will ask you why the Italian government does nothing about the mafia and how italians can't feel ashamed by Berlusconi.

... they'll make jokes about the mafia thinking it has never been a source of suffering for anyone at all.

... the words "Silvio Berlusconi" occur waaaay too often.

... people assume you're a grat football player, singer or lover (though the last one doesn't bother you for once...)

... people assume you're somehow religious.

... people assume you're deadly jealous.

... people assume you have seen the Pope at least once.

=) its soo trueee uahaha so i dont mind if u ask me some words in italian but plz dont make joke about mafia and berlusconi and dont start to speak with me in spanish,even if i love spain and spanish people italian is a different language!lol
