When I speak English, I can be pretty dramatic.

I’ll be in a conversation saying things like

“That’s sooooooo amazing.”

“That’s incredible. How amazing!”

“How is that even possible? You’re freaking awesome.”

So naturally all of that enthusiasm would transfer over to how I want to speak Italian, but sometimes I can’t find a word strong enough to match what I really mean.

The solutions?

— Be enthusiastic in a more Italian way.

— Find new words.

I choose both.
