If you can't beat them, join them..
With the start of the new phase of the project, there are more people from Pasta Land that just joined us. Of course they can speak English..but I guess to bridge the gap, is best that I also learn a bit of Italiano.
Got this engineer who is keen to teach me. So our lesson 1 is Greetings.
Engineer: Buon Giorno (Good Morning)
Me: Buon Giorno (Good Morning)
Engineer: Come stai? (How are you?)
Me: Molto bene, Grazie (Very well, thank you)
Me: E tu? (and you?)
Engineer: Bene (Fine)
Engineer: Ben fatto! (Well done!)
Italians are actually very warm and nice people. Somehow I found them to be more sincere in many ways; just that well, they don't speak good English and hence a bit tough with the communications. But that aside, they are really warm and nice people.
