Did you pack the sandwich…or the sandwiches? Did you bring the fork…or the forks? Italian people love to pack great food in a basket, gather their family and friends, and head to an Italian park for the afternoon. A picnic in an Italian park can be a great way to meet Italian people and practice communicating in the Italian language. However, there is a big difference between asking for something specific in Italian and English. Sometimes it might be romantic to share utensils. However, do you want to share a fork with fourteen people because you could not effectively communicate in Italian? I’ll eat with my hands…thanks.

You are probably learning the Italian language for a reason. Maybe you want to find the perfect job in Italy; perhaps you want to travel in Rome with family and friends. A native Italian presents you with a choice: a position in an Italian company, an office location, an item of Italian clothing in a shop, or a brioche in an Italian bakery. Can you explain to them, using the Italian language skills you have learned, which one you want? If choice does not matter than you could visit any Colosseum in the world-you didn’t have to come to Rome! You can have any croissant and cup of coffee from Starbuck’s-you don’t need an Italian pastry and espresso. And you should definitely leave that corner office with a view of the Italian beaches for Bob in accounting!
