Let's talk about Italian Gestures!
Unlike some people think, Italian talking people not only do gestures when angry. Quite a misconception or somehow funny conception with no aim to hurt, gestures are something that can help you understand what the person is trying to say.
Although gestures can differ from region to region, there are some that you can interpret with a general meaning you may need to catch.
Let's take a little example. If a person talking is pointing with their index finger, it may be they're trying to give you additional information or context about what they're trying to say. A place, a subject, themselves, it helps to keep the phrase tracked in its meaning and why it is being said.
Not to mention motion gestures while asking indications to reach a place or on how to handle a just bought product you may know still a little.
While taking things lightly, make always sure to seek for what may aid you! Happy Learning!
