Hi people!
how are you? A new week has just begun...I hope it won't be too hard to face...^_^
This afternoon we're going to speak again with our American friends...it's really cool because last week I enjoyed it very much. Last Monday Lucrezia (a classmate) and I spoke with Francesco (typical American name isn't it?) and it was very very cool. In fact Francesco (as you can all understand) has clearly Italian origins ans he speaks Italian very well...do you know Filippo Nardi (he participated to Italian Big Brother and to another show, Le Iene, some years ago)? Our American friend speaks like him and I like it very much...^_-
We were supposed to talk about alternative sources of energy and at the beginning we did it...but after ten minutes, more or less, we began talking about our lives in general and about stereotypes ^_^. So, we asked him if he is part of a fraternity and he answered he is not and he added he doesn't like people who are in it because in his opinion they're very arrogant and too snob. In fact, Susanne (another classmate) told me that Anthony, the guy she was spoking with, was in a fraternity and he is quite snob.
We also asked Francesco if he knew some stereotypes referring to Italy. Come'on... guess ... you've got them: MANDOLINO, MAFIA and PASTA. So, I asked why he didn't mention PIZZA and he answered that American are convinced they were the first in the world inventing PIZZA...WHAT?! I was very surprised hearding it...PIZZA IS OURS, PIZZA IS ITALIAN !!! ^_^
That's all for the moment
Cheers
Alice
