Description

You are about to enjoy a charming theatrical performance, and, while doing so, you will learn to understand and, eventually, speak Italian.

He only knows a couple words he learned as a kid from his maternal grandparents, who, as we’ll see, are both very proud of their Sicilian heritage. Connor is really keen to start learning Italian.

The curtain is up now. Act 1 is about to begin (https://www.newsinslowitalian.com/series/guts/1/opening). Here’s Silvia and Connor, sitting in a cozy room, sipping coffee. Many colorful books are lined up on a wooden bookcase. A map of Italy hangs from the wall. Looks like a language school. Well, let’s see what happens...
