    Wanna learn 10 ITALIAN SLANG today?
    In this video, I gathered 10 slang every Italian beginner must-know!
    Make sure to watch the video many times in order to let your brain absorb them better.
    Don’t miss the opportunity to learn some new vocabulary today!
    _ _ _ _ _
    After many requests from my lovely American students, I finally decided to open a youtube channel entirely dedicated to people from the U.S. that LOVE Italian and Italy.
    The Natural Method I suggest you follow is based on the concept of MASSIVE LISTENING to INTERESTING and COMPREHENSIBLE Italian.
    It worked for hundreds of thousands of people I helped since 2013.
    By doing that using the advantages of being an adult, you will naturally absorb the Italian language so that when you'll try to speak words will come out without you stressing about grammar rules, verb conjugations, articles, etc...
    You'll know the right way because you followed the right principles that allow your brain to learn Italian.
    It will be just a matter of time before Italian will be yours!

    I wouldn't translate "cavolo" as damn. Because the fact that you use "cavolo" is because you're avoiding curse words in order to use it in more polite company. I would say it's more like "heck" What the heck! Che cavolo! (you see, instead of using 'hell' or 'caz##") Enjoyed your video. I would use mannaggia for damn, no? :-)
