Christian

An Italian who has lived around the world but still speaks with his hands." 🤌🌍

Ciao! I’m Christian, an Italian who has spent most of his adult life hopping between Asia, Australia, and Europe. Along the way, I’ve fallen in love with languages, cultures, and the little things that make each place unique—like how Italians can have full conversations using just hand gestures! 🇮🇹🤌 Learning a language is not just about grammar and vocabulary—it’s about truly understanding how people speak, think, and live. With me, you’ll learn Italian the way it’s actually spoken, with a mix of real-life expressions, culture, and of course… a little bit of la dolce vita! Ready? Andiamo!
