  • Uahahahhahaha, essere italiani non ha prezzo, ringrazio ancora il Signore per avermi fatto nascere qui in Italia, uahahahah !

  • @milly8389 anyway the main form of comunicaton is the italian language not the gestures. And it is not true we use all that gestures. it existes but we dont use all that. "I swear" is used only by kids and also "let's go to sleep" . "damn it" and "that's it" are very rare. "I'll call you later" is used if there is a great distance between you and another. I've never seen "thin" gesture and "goodlooking" is used only by teenagers. "Bho I don know" is the more used!!!!

  • Good work guys.. at 0.58 when He says "Mannaggia" it's wonderful!

  • hehehe sembra abbiano una scopa al posto della colonna vertebrale hehehe il tanto tempo fa è il migliore hahahaha

  • I love when foreigners try to speak with italian gestures... but PLEASE tell me we Italians do not look this awkward when we speak!

  • Yeah the accent need some work.

  • nice video ;)

    referring to '' magro e bello'', I wouldn't do that kind of gesture on my cheek to say ''bello'', since it has a completely different meaning to me. I'd use it to mean cunning, to say that a person is ''tagliata''.

    but as I said at the beginning of the post it's a really nice video!

  • I'm italian, and i found english much more easier and simple than my original language. you can say a lot of things much faster. i've got 8 in english at school.. wich is like a B in your country.

  • thumbs up if you expected authentic italians in the videos. wth is with the different ethnicities.
