Imagine yourself sitting at a quaint Italian pizzeria, freshly baked pizza wafting through the air. You take a bite of your delicious Margherita pizza, and suddenly, you’re struck with the realization that you want to learn Italian. Wait, what? Learn Italian while eating pizza?

One tongue twister that I highly recommend is the following.
“Al pozzo dei pazzi c’era una pazza che lavava una pezza mangiando una pizza. Arriva un pazzo e butta la pazza, la pezza, e la pizza nel pozzo dei pazzi.”
Listen to the tongue twister:
This tongue twister may seem daunting at first, but with a bit of practice, you’ll be able to say it quickly. Let’s break it down and translate it:
- “Al pozzo dei pazzi” – “at the well of the crazy people”
