I've decided to set aside one hour a day to learn Italian. I've got the Michel Thomas course and the Hugo Learn Italian book. Does anyone want to join me and practice on here?

SantaClausfrau, funny as "Du' Palle!" is my favourite expression too, but I am from the South.

And even though literally it means "bollocks", we use it with a different meaning, in fact for us it means "BORING!".
same as "che barba!" "what a beard!" in the sense that it goes for so long your beard is growing.

guess they are all expressions originally used by males.. [sorriso]

I'd just like to report that I have been learning how to conjugate regular verbs and also have memorised avere and essere. FdZ, how are you coming along?
