Very few things are sexier than the ability to speak in another language, and some languages are just too sexy for their own good.
French is definitely on that list, and Spanish makes us pretty flushed as well, but there’s just something about Italian that melts our heart into a puddle of gelato every time.
Knowing a bit of Italian surprisingly comes in handy in so many situations. You could be upping your game before a trip to Italy, or just looking for a secret weapon to bust out whenever the timing is right.
Regardless, keep these beauties in your back pocket and be prepared to beat ‘em away with a stick when you unleash your Italian charm on the masses.

Whether you’ve known the person two days or a few years, the details are really irrelevant.
