Thank you for sharing Silvio! Your essay transported me back to my school days when I attended Bocconi and one Saturday I went to the market. Not knowing the word for "etto", I ordered 1 kilo of oranges (I think I got 3) and 1 kilo of Lettuce (that is a lot!). Happy Thanksgiving!
'funny, surprising and little bit dramatic' I'll have to remember that! What a great story, Silvio.
agreed
Thank you, Karena. I added a couple of lines to the end and I thought of that. :)
Love the three elements of a memorable learning experience! You discuss learning a language as an adult, a terrifying experience, in a playful way :)
Thank you so much, Raksha! (It is indeed a terrifying experience)

Thank you, Kristin! Love your mishap there! And Happy Thanksgiving to you (from a fellow Bocconi graduate)! :)
I enjoyed this immensely! I lived in Spain for a year in my late 30's. I always felt like I was late to every party and the last to know.
Thank you, Nadjia! I know the feeling very well :)
aw, Silvio, what a lovely thing to read first thing in the morning! I'm thankful for your writing. :)
Thank you, Malavika. What a nice comment to read first (or maybe second) thing in the morning :))
Loved this story, Silvio!
Thank you Nic! :)
I remember my first joke in French. That was a cool moment. Thanks for sharing this delightful story!
Yes. Unforgettable (awkward) moments. Thank you Yehudis :)
Love this story Silvio, well told! I'm grateful that you told it in English so I could read it. : )
Thank you, Rick! Glad you liked it. (This one, I wouldn’t tell in any other language :))
