Teach me Italian

[Samurai]

In December I'm going to Italy to see Rome and Venice and I'd like to know the language

Make sure you see the Vatican and all the historical monuments. I enjoyed myself the many times I've been there before. Never been to Venice though. But gone to Genoa and a couple places in Sicily.

If you want to know important phrases don't forget this important one "me ne frego" it means thank you very much :smiley:

the grammar has a really complex structure since there are a lot of grammatical rules, if your grammar isn't that well yet after 6 years of learning it I guess there's something wrong about how you learned it
other than that if you don't want to bother learning sentences, just speak in english to younger people, don't expect elders to understand you tho

Se io fossi Italiano, sarebbe piú facile

I was in Venice.

Despite what youve heard about Italians, don't expect a lot from their pizzas.

Their pastas are great though if you can get to the right restaurant.

Also, you should definitely try a cappuccino at a more prestigious cafe. You won't regret it.

For anything else related, drop in the DMs.

I had to study italian grammar for 8 years at school unsuccessfully, and I am italian

I'm not a fan of pasta but I do like pizza

That's true I guess I know some people that go to a Liceo they paid for and sometimes I corrected them on a few things lmao

You're not going to be impressed from Italian cuisine then.

I went through 7 or 8 looking at what they have displayed or given to their customers. It's not like I had a minor sample.

Ok, Here's a pro tip: NEVER GO TO THOSE FANCY RESTAURANTS. The best italian cuisine is the one on the side, the one the people cook, if you go to a restaurant in the middle of a tourist hotspot they are going to have frozen pizza and pasta, but if you keep going you might find a place with fantastic pasta and awesome pizza.

Also, when you go the vatican expect to see guns, but don't worry the police has them, that's because terrorist matter, as you might know Christianity + Islam = Bad times. But the Vatican is one of the most secure places you will ever go to.

tbh the Colosseum it's not the best anymore, but it's definitelly worth taking some pictures.

And last thing, TRY ITALIAN ICE CREAM, IS THE SHIT. All done.

o shit my teacher lied to me. she said that people who weren't too good in elementare and/or media went to a liceo because apparently it teaches more.
either that or because she is old she's forgetting what life in Italy was like when she left there in the 70s

Na smart people do like me and go study in america. (If you have the money) my education went from 6-7 to 90-100.

Not if they are private

how good you perform doesn't matter, you can choose between different high schools after the medie:
-liceo scientifico, different courses, such as applied sciences,; which focuses in physics, maths and science, doesn't give you a degree at the end, you must go to university
-liceo classico, teaches greek, latin
-ipsia, professional school: teaches you a particular job, gives you the required degree at the end of 3 years and a higher quality one after 5 years, usually it's a bad school because even if it can be the most useful, people go there because the work to do is way less and is aimed towards people who have trouble learning math/science etc. and will do low tier jobs such as electrician, dental technician, hair stylist etc
-itis, teaches chemistry or IT, networks etc, good school but full of nerds and weird people who are... weird, in my town for example it's people from the countryside with long curly hair and the desire to break down everything
-alberghiero which teaches you to COOK
-linguistico which teaches you USELESS languages such as french, german or spanish
-liceo artistico which i will be attending next year after changing schools 3 times, basically teaches you art, style and fashion or designing interiors and stuff like that
-then there are schools for people who think theyre special snowflakes etc like the psicopedagogico which teach you psychology stuff or the magistrali, which aim at making you a teacher etc, usually it's garbage people who go there

obviously the best choices if you want to be successful are liceo scientifico or classico, but if you can't keep up with the workload and have your mind all the time in PUSSY (like any normal teenager) or WEED or whatever the fuck, go somewhere else.
i went 3 years at the scientifico and failed 2 of them, changed schools 4 times now and i still cant find whats the right choice for me

The liceo I went in closed the year after I've finished it due to the reform (thanks Gelmini xd), it was an experimental mash up of 3-4 different licei and pretty much a mess

I didn't think Italians grammatical rules were so harsh
