イタリア語が話せなくても心配しなくていい。イタリア在住のツアーガイド、セルジオ・ソラッゾ氏によれば、イタリアでは手で話ができるから。
彼がアメリカ人観光客を相手に、イタリア人がどうやって手だけで会話をするのかを教えた動画が、じわじわと人気を集めている。
それによると、料理が美味しいと伝えたい時には、頬に人差し指を当ててくるくる回すといいらしい。だけど、その指をこめかみに持っていくと「クレイジー」を意味するようになる。要注意だ。
表情豊かなソラッゾ氏のレッスンは、英語がわからなくても面白い。
動画を投稿したYouTubeユーザーのSlo Benderは、ソラッゾ氏を「素晴らしい大使」と絶賛している。
ちなみに、ソラッゾ氏は旅行会社「Nada’s Italy」で働いている。レッスンを直接受けたければ、会社に問い合わせてみよう。
