ciao Cinzia, Marco e tutti,
first i would like to say that i very much enjoy your podcasts, especially the humourous interactions between the two of you in between the lessons. i don't know if i enjoy the lessons more, or the playful commentary! i often listen to the podcast whilst working, but often i am forced to stop due to the silly grin on my face after Cinzia or Marco makes a funny comment...
in my work i interact primarily via e-mail with Italian staff in our Bologna office, and although I am clearly non-fluent, i enjoy making lame attempts to engage the staff in discussions about Serie A in Italian (actually more of an Inter fan than Juve, despite the user name).
In my emails, I encountered the expression: "In bocca al lupo", and though I understand its intent, I am curious as to the origins of the expression. by the way, i loved the series on Italian Proverbs, and i hope there will be more episodes to follow!
grazie mille! ci sentiamo più tardi
