Every language is full of expressions that don't make sense if you translate them literally.

Because their meaning isn't always obvious, it's useful to learn them ahead of time

so that you don't feel confused the first time you hear them.

In this episode, you'll find out some of the untranslatable everyday Italian words and expressions

that lots of tourists don't understand.

Hi everyone and welcome to learn Italian with joy of languages.

To this episode, we'll share seven common phrases that Italians use all the time, but English

you a bit about Italian culture. To see if you can figure out what these expressions mean,

we're going to do a quiz, but before we get started, can we ask you a quick, Favore?

A, uffa, B, B, B, C, and eviva, D, P.
