If you want to learn words that every Italian knows that you won't find in textbooks,

this lesson is for you.

Most Italians use swear words in their everyday conversations.

I'm definitely one of them.

But the problem with swearing in another language is that you're probably never quite sure

how strong these words are or when it's actually appropriate to use them.

In this episode you learn how to use the most common Italian parolace swear words and some milder alternatives to avoid embarrassing situations or simply if you don't like swearing.

Hi everyone and welcome to learn Italian with Joy of Languages.

Today we are talking about a topic you definitely don't find in your textbooks, swear words that we Italians use the most. And as you might have already

guessed, we'll be using some very strong language in this episode. So if you've got any

children around, we recommend putting your headphones on.

It might feel a bit or even strong to hear as say these were words in English, but it's actually

helpful. This way, you can better understand the impact when you use them in Italian. It's an

important aspect to keep in mind as you learn. And before we get
