      content quality - awesome as usual
      video quality - I personally dont care that its of a lower quality
      sound quality - very, very bad. sometimes it is hard to understand people from all around the world in your videos because of different accents and level of english language, but here I didnt understand them because of poor sound. Yes, subtitles help, but I usually just have the video as a background noise and check the screen only between discussions

    I think a lot of pple around the world confuses Italian American culture with Italian culture from Italy. Italian americans are some of the most prosperous groups in the US and one of the few white ethnicities that managed to latch on some of their culture. Italian americans modified Italian food to make it more palatable to Americans which turned out to be totally delicious and quickly spread to the rest of the world. People are shocked to find out while vacationing in Italy that the food is very different. Much less cheese and butter.

    I'm Italian and all those "stereotypes" are very true from my point of view. Of course not all men are mommy boys and not every Italian knows how to cook but most of the time those stereotypes come from somewhere and I can tell they are accurate. We love food, we love dress nicely, we love our family time and we are dramatic and passionate about our interests. And yes, as a person living abroad, I can now say that we are loud! Doesn't matter which part of Italy you're coming from, if you are abroad and there is a group of Italians around you will hear them! (but Spanish too though lol)

I worked at the airport in the past and managed a lot of flights to Italy and in spite of their English being quite bad (Sorry, but true) more than once I was asked to speak portuguese slowly and with the gestures we would always understand each other. Always willing to meet halfway and adaptable, from my perspective. ☺

      @@sparkle9964 not even that! It's pretty clear that you both have never been in Italy and you talk without knowing and with stereotypes. You have to know there is a distinct social difference between northen and southern Italy. People from the north are definitely more quite, discreet, and polite, they don't think all day about food and don't spend all the energy and time on making food, they are more focused on work, they don't gather with a lot of other friends to eat all together on a daily basis but only on special events, they are definitely not "hot people", they are quite, respectful, sober, have manners, have a smooth accent so they are more "europeans" like austrians, germans, dutchmen, whereas souhern italian people are more compliants to your stereotype of italians you have: they are more outgoing, social, talk loud, make a lot of hand gestures, think and spend more time on making food and inviting friends, more stuck to the traditions, ecc... but even then they are still italians and not similar to other cultures like arabics, come on!. You can tell instead that they are more like spaniards or geeks, that would make more sense. So, Italy is the most diverse Country in the world, you can never tell how an italian may look like, think like and act like, it basically depends on where he comes from!

    The world owes Italy eternal gratitude. The best architects, painters, sculptors, and engineers are all from Italy. They have created things that no other nation on the planet can rival and never will - because they lack the kind of imagination that runs through Italian blood. From Venice, an absolute masterpiece of engineering, to the dome in Florence that is a masterpiece in architecture, Italians have left the rest of the world in awe of them. Food is only one of the many things that Italians have mastered. Watch them and learn from them!!

    5:00 In Egypt when you do that with the hands it means "wait" or "slow down".
    And if you do it while touching your chin it means "you'll see" like "I'll show you" or "I'll get my revenge some day".
    5:10 That gesture with arms in Egypt would mean "whatever" or "forget it", or "that was something from the past".
    5:23 With rolling your arms/hands like that it means "go on" or "continue", or "get to the conclusion, I'm in a hurry".
    I guess we also speak with our hands, but the gestures have different meanings.
