Have you ever heard two Italians talking?
Would you like to sound like them? A lot of Erasmus students think that after some time in the foreign country they should pretend to be local inhabitants. It's nice, nobody denies. Some tourists ask you for directions or information about the city and you know the answer! But the key is to talk in the proper manner!
Firstly - try to sing while talking. It's not easy, but while speaking try to imagine that you are Madonna or Justin Timberlake. No deep voices, even if you are a man. It has to sound soft....
Then start using your hands. Hands for speaking?- some of you may want to ask? Here in the south they still need to help themselves with gestures, so try to make it easier for them. Just remember you are not getting rid of a fly- these are still humans you are talking to! Here are some useful signs to practice in front of the mirror. One per day and soon you will be a half- blood Italian!
