Don’t think that you can get by in an Italian hairdresser without some language skills. If a customer doesn’t seem to speak the language, hairdressers can take the opportunity to do that avant-garde ‘do that they’ve always been wanting to do, and trust us, you don’t want to come out of the hairdresser with something that can be described as “brave”. In today’s lesson we’re talking about hair. In today’s lesson, we will briefly review the structure of mi piace “I like” its negative form, the expression essere gentile “to be kind” and finally the most appropriate adjectives to use when talking about hairstyles. Moreover, we will consider the Italian customs regarding the two different types of hairdressers and the criterion of self definition through the development of individual styles.

PopupYou’re going to like Italy. We know. The food is fantastic, the wine is delicious, the people are so friendly that strangers greet each other with kisses and hugs. Tuscany is so beautiful that you’ll want to live there, and Rome is so popular that all roads lead there.
In the 21st lesson in the Beginner course, you’ll be learning how to say “I like (something)” in Italian, useful for expressing how much you love the place. You’ll also be going over the sentence pattern, “I don’t like (something)”, useful for people who are unfortunate enough to not live in Italy. We will be continuing the discussion of the verb piacere and its negative form, along with the functioning of the double negation in Italian. We will also consider affirmative answers.
