I have decided to have a bash at learning Italian. I think it might be tricky at first getting the pronunciation as it's not phonetic, but I bought a book at the airport before my recent trip and was confident enough to order meals in Italian even though Ciao was all I knew before I left. Apart from Accadue, can anyone else speak Italian?

I can read it it, that won't help you any Unc'.....................

Il mio zio è molto handsome.:-4

That's easy for you to say

It didn't turn out right in Italian, it is easier for me in Spanish, mi guapito tio.

ehi ! wait a moment, please!

I "always" would like to ask this question to you, but I never had courage to demand....

I may propose myself as supervisor for italian swear words, but I need help for the american s w:yh_wave



To say it in Latin: do ut des



eh?

I can trace my idiomatic curiosity back to "International It's a Knockout"

come siete sesso bomba? :yh_battin

Recently I learnt a phrase, which says " f.........the whole enchilada"



Considering that I did not even know what the "enchilada" was, I have been told that this phrase is quite used in Texas.

Yet, they told me - if it was necessary - that it is not a polite phrase....

I generally never use un-polite words - I know them, but I don't like to use them.

what would you say? sex bomb? I would say: bomba del sesso

Bomba del sesso....*makes a note*

Thanks girls, now I can do a Tom Jones impression in Italian

Accadue, how do you say "It's unusually quiet here at the sperm bank isn't it Flight Lieutenant?"

Sorry Accadue, I was being uncharacteristically naughty

Let's start with something easy. How about "Forum Garden"?

Oh Unc', that is cool you are learning Italian after your trip. Then you can go back again, and be fluent in it!

Ciao!

Non penso che possa aiutarla a tutto il perché il mio italiano è molto debole.

La desidero la fortuna buona.

Tentare e lei riuscirà.

Grazie mio amico
