Talking With Your Hands

The Italians are known for their expressive manner, especially, talking with their hands. The wood restoration boys and I have learned a number of them. I got some of the SYA Italy students to demonstrate them for you.

Jesse R. of Texas saying "It's good (usually in reference to food)"

Nicole B. of Maryland/New Jersey "knocking on wood."

Becca L. of Oregon telling us "she doesn't know."

Haley M. of Illinois/Connecticut shaking her hands and saying "boring."

Emily B. of California tell you that "you're crazy."

Rebecca D. of New Jersey telling us that "she's hungry."

Drew C. of New Mexico going "COME ON!!!"

Erin G. of New Jersey/Connecticut is "f***ing"

Bria R. of Massachusetts and Khoe T. of Washington State going "WHAT THE HELL?!!?!?"

Charlotte H. of Wisconsin and Michaela D. of California/Rhode Island are "begging, pretty please!"

Sara B. of New Mexico and Ben K. of Illinois telling us "I'm f***ing your wife!"
