Italians and the English language

A street guy in Rome (how can he stands so still for hours?)

If you need to get information or directions, here’s a tip: ask a young person as they are more likely to speak English. Usually older people don’t speak English at all, even though they are always happy to help. Be ready, as they will speak Italian to you as if you understand what they are saying, and don’t try to read their lips, but their hands instead and you’ll surely get the point.
