Today you’ll finally understand some common Italian hand gestures.

Hand gestures are part of every Italian’s life and you need to know the meaning of these gestures if you want to understand Italians and act as a true Italian.

We are famous all over the world for expressing ourselves with our hands, we can’t communicate without using them.

Some of these gestures are impolite, but I will warn you so you won’t happen to use them in the wrong context.

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!

Funny and informative. I grew up in an area with lots of Italian immigrants and already knew most of these. Man, I'm so jealous of bilingual/multilingual folks like yourself, your English is excellent and the accent is lovely. I tried learning Spanish in school, but had a terrible teacher who did the bare minimum and I'm not even sure could speak Spanish herself.

Exactly the same meaning to almost all of them in Argentina.

Is there a good gesture for when a street scammer begins to approach you? something that says "stay away" or "don't bother me"?

[gabeworks_]

Awesome how italian is a better version of portuguese
I can literally understand everything he's saying without looking at the subtitles

after watching some old italian films i've seen some characters make a gesture as so: it's like the "ok" hand gesture but the hand is help about upper chest high, and with the "ok" help over and horizontal, then lift upward quickly like pulling a threaded needle up. what does this mean?
