Think about it \u2013 language is not just words and grammar, but a reflection of culture. Trying to learn, understand, and use a language knowing nothing about a culture results in laughable misunderstandings and downright awkward situations. Lucky for all of the language learners out there, one of the best ways to learn a culture is by examining the language. And some of the best pieces of language that reflect pieces of a culture are proverbs. It's no different for Italian - so this blog is going to examine some common Italian proverbs that provide us with insights into Italy and its people."}
