    That's because an Italian doesn't speak Italian, he talk in dialect. Even between neighbouring towns there are differences, the phrase "let's go" can be translated as "andiamo" in italiano but "imo" in my dialect, and "nnamo" in Roman dialect {60 miles apart from my town} and "iemu" in a town nearby 20 miles.

So you should thank middle east for introducing you to alcohol, wine , beer, sugar, coffee, tea, mathematics, architecture, even iron lol. Wheel, time, who made 24 hours, 60 minutes and so on. What did Italians make, stole everything that was Greek and others and claimed it to be their own. Go make us some pasta . In iraq, if someone ate pasta or Macronis, we say aww, poor person has no food. It's just soggy dough lol, mixed with tomato sauce . And please don't talk about cheeses, , we have cheeses million times better than your romano, or permeasan. Fancy names, that's all, yet tasteless and dry. Or oiley.

    In Ontario Canada there is roughly 1 million Italian immigrants who obviously speak Italian and their children speak Italian and many of their grandchildren speak Italian. Still very connected to Italy with relatives visiting or visiting back in Italy...etc. I've always noticed the Italian Americans are very watered down, I know that is starting to happen here as the older generation starts to fade out. But as the son of Italian immigrants who grew up with almost entirely Italian neighbors, friends, class mates...etc I cant stress how fortunate I feel to have grown up Italian but in Canada. My family continues many traditions that even our relatives in Italy do not carry on such as making home made cured meats, cheese, wine, growing our own vegatables, making sauce...etc. Much of Italy moved on but we here are Italians frozen in time of the old ways.

I know Italian community in NF was big and your story kinda explains somewhat his situation. I believe 90% of his personal life revolved in Italian community (bit weird for someone who's at least third or fourth generation Italian in CA). Perhaps he was faking but I never caught him faking it.

    We “mostly” don’t speak fluent Italian anymore because of all the hate and discrimination we faced when are parents/grandparents came here 1880-1920. So our parents didn’t teach us Italian. They wanted us to become American. Assimilate as immigrants should. Some of us even had to change last names to be treated better or the US government changed them at Ellis Island because they couldn’t pronounce/disliked them. But we’re still very proud of our Italian blood! 🇮🇹 As is with every immigrant. Most people are proud of their heritage/ethnicity.

    @ItalianBoy No, you're not going to become Chinese just by speaking it. But if you ARE Italian by blood, it would be nice if you actually learned the language and connected better with your Italian roots. I think THAT's basically what she's saying. Too many people walking around almost bragging about being Italian, but if you try to speak to them in Italian, they're like "Huh??" Whaat?" and they can't even understand the simplest Italian words and greetings.

    Italians in Italy are just regular people, nice, helpful, and interested in other cultures, I shouldn’t generalise like that but everyone I know is that way. It’s the same everywhere people always want to different from what they are and who surrounds them. The Italo-Americani overdramatise their heritage because their ancestors had to be that way to stick up against the abuse they received 70-100 years or so ago.

    I'm Italian and when together with some of my friends I went to USA to improve (a little bit) our English, some Americans told us that we didn't looked like Italians and also our behaviour wasn't Italian at all, when I met an Italian American and I started speaking my language (standard Italian), he told me, in Sicilian, that the language I was speaking wasn't Italian. Italian Americans look like Italians stacked in the 50's, but they forgot how to use hand gesture and how to cook traditional recipes... anyway this sketch comedy is funny only for le teste di cazzo.😁

Barely spoke any Italian himself, so whenever he spoke to the Head of Northern European Operations who actually was Italian, he’d limit it to asking about the weather or what the gut did on his holidays. It was hilarious to watch a guy profess to being Italian to anyone who’d listen, and not even have a GCSE level understanding of the language.

    Italy has many different languages, what's called Italian is just the Firenze dialect of Tuscan. Not speaking a language doesn't change your ancestry. You don't become ethnically English just because that's the only language you speak. Stop crapping on people for liking their heritage. If Italian Americans hated being Italian, you guys would complain about that instead. You're ethnicity doesn't change just because you move to a different place. Many Italians moved to the US and their descendants make up a large portion of the US today. It doesn't matter if they speak Tuscan or even Sicilian it Neapolitan, their heritage is still their heritage.

And you'll never an African-American that actually celebrates Kwanzaa(Which is a word that isn't even from a West African language) Chicanos are pretty Latino, they speak Spanish a lot, eat pretty authentic Mexican food and generally know a lot about Mexico. Italian Americans came at a time where privileged Anglo-Saxon white people ruled America and the better you could pretend to be one, the better your life was. Chicanos could keep their culture because they were segregated and so they built their own communities with their own culture. Italian had to fit into wider Anglo American society and so dropped their language to do so.

    I think he was referring to the Italian guy Russell spoke to, silly. But then you probably don't know who Deepak Tijori is.

    New Jersey Italian Americans are another totally different breed of Italian offspring. Russell is totally right. He grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Brampton Ontario Canada.
