When you're learning Italian, you might have started with some set textbook style phrases that will help you get around Italy.

Some of these phrases can be useful, but real Italians don't talk like they've stepped out of a textbook.

They use lots of informal words and expressions.

So it can throw you off if an Italian starts using an expression all the time that you've not come across before.

And that's why we'll look at some common Italian slang words so that you can follow real Italian conversations. Ciao all

and welcome

Hi everyone and welcome to learn Italian with Joe of languages.

In today's episode we're going to look at Italian slang words.

So they're not the kind of slang words that only a few young people use.

They're words that come up all the time in everyday conversations.

It's really important to learn these expressions so you can connect with Italians by understanding

the way they actually speak to each other. Even just for entertainment as well. So some of these expressions

are actually really funny when you find out what they really mean. But before we get started,
