You may have the perfect product or idea, but if you can’t explain it in a way Americans connect with, you risk being overlooked. This course helps you speak clearly, confidently, and effectively with US partners, clients, and investors.

In questo episodio descrivo un'opera del celeberrimo Caravaggio, nella quale è rappresentato un inganno ;)

Due parole d'arte in italiano

Caravaggio - I bari

Tý phải lòng một anh chàng nha sĩ trẻ, đẹp trai. Thế nên cô thường lấy lý do đi nhổ răng để lén lút đến gặp anh ta. Một hôm, chàng nha sĩ buồn rầu nói:
- Anh nghĩ chúng ta nên dừng lại thôi, chắc chồng em có thể đã bắt đầu nghi ngờ rồi.
Tý ngạc nhiên:
- Làm gì có chuyện đó, chúng ta đã hẹn hò được một năm nay rồi mà chồng em có nói gì đâu.
Chàng nha sĩ khẽ lắc đầu:
- Nhưng em còn có một cái răng thôi, lần sau biết lấy lý do gì để đến gặp anh nữa chứ?
