Parliamo probabilmente troppo teatralmente e dalla nostra prospettiva americana. Speriamo che lei non l'ha trovato offensivo, ed speriamo migliorare il nostro parlare per il futuro. Se lei ha qualunque suggerimenti di come potremmo migliorare specificatamente il nostro parlare, per favore dicci.

You guys only speak Italian and thats because you folks are from Italy. How can you call yourselves linguists? Funny vid though.

We only speak Italian in this episode. André is studying French and Chinese. I am studying Spanish. And we have a lot of college friends who are native speakers in other languages we hope to incorporate. Thanks for the feedback!

Stay tuned for the episodes to come.
