So, you've learned the basics in Italian Class. You know how to say, "Come stai?" or "Dov' il bagno?" or "Quanti anni hai?" but how do you take it to the next level?

Discover one of the most important yet often one of the most overlooked aspects of a language: idioms and popular phrases in common use. Think about how in English, so much of what we say is full of expressions and figures of speech and idioms.

We say things like: "dime a dozen," or "beat around the bush," "cutting corners," "speak of the devil," etc. Plus, there is so much slang and so many phrases in popular use especially with young people: "To have a crush on someone," "I'm all set," "I'm down for that," etc. Plus there are so many slang words we use that have other meanings in popular use like: "cool," or "sick" or "lame" etc. This is the same if not even more common in the Italian language.
If you want to be able to understand people and speak comfortably, you will find it almost impossible without a healthy knowledge of popular idioms, words, and phrases used by native Italian Speakers.
