Pietro – please don’t get carried away! I understood a joke told by a child. That’s not quite the same as having a meeting at work all in Italian! Even if you may say that every meeting is a joke here

Bravo! le prossime riunioni le facciamo tutte in italiano, ok? almeno gli altri capiscono e poi non possono dire che non avevano capito bene…

No, Bianca, it was fine. You have no need to be sorry.

Maybe it was not polite to correct you.
Sorry about that.

Oh, yes, and thanks for the correction!

Thanks Bianca! Full immersion is best, of course, but, even if I speak very little at work, at least I can have some on the radio to and from work.

Good for you Andy!
It’s quite hard to understand jokes if one is not a native speaker, bravo! SÃƒÂ¬, l’italiano lo capisci bene.
Radio and podcasts are helpful to improve, at least they are really helpful to me.
ps. ho tantA sete.

I know they’re small steps but they’re steps nonetheless. Non parlo Italiano bene, purtroppo, ma il capisco meglio – I hope!

Now you need to take the next step, a bilingual joke or pun or play on words of a nature similar to ottanotto (bravo, lei parla italiano allora):

Ã‚Â¿Compran pan?

No, no compran pan.

Say it in Spanish, but think it’s French.
