MINI LESSON OF THE DAY
WANT TO SOUND MORE ITALIAN? START WITH THIS…

You can know 1,000 Italian words and still sound like a textbook.

Or—you can know this one trick and sound like a real Italian, even as a beginner.

Here’s the truth:

Italians speak with rhythm, emotion, and LOTS of expressions that aren’t in your grammar book.

That’s why one of the first things I teach inside my programs are natural filler words and reaction phrases — like:

  • "Allora…" – So / Well then... (used to buy time or lead a sentence)

  • "Ma dai!" – No way! / Come on!

  • "Boh…" – I don’t know... (used all the time)

  • "Esatto." – Exactly.

  • "Insomma." – Kind of… / Sort of… / Meh.

These aren’t just fun to say (which they are).
They help you stay in the conversation even if you don’t know the perfect word.

Instead of freezing or defaulting back to English, you use what you can say — just like Italians do.

🧠 Here’s how to use this:

Next time you’re about to pause awkwardly, drop in a phrase like "Allora…" or "Boh…" — and keep going.

Even native speakers do this. It’s how you sound confident before you’re fluent.
