I like to move it move it

It is known that italians move a lot their hands while talking. Don't laugh now...is not funny!

As a french-italian person i can say that i prefer moving my hands instead of talking with my mouth like a chicken's ass but still.

I don't move my hands that much while talking but i can see how a lot of people do it, not just italians.

For example look at Kate Moennig from "The L Word" she moves her hands a lot and no one thinks is funny cause she is "cool".

But if you take an italian in the States with little knowledge of english and a lot of things to say you will find it very entertaining, won't you? You racists!!

Being a foreing languages student our english teacher told us that at first when she arrived in Italy she found us very impolite because: 1 we don't respect turns while in a discussion 2 we talk on other's people voices raising our tone to make a point 3 we move our hands much 4 we speak loud and that scares people, especially northern ones 5 we touch the person we are talking to (not sexually, you pervert!)to better express what we want to say.

This is mostly true and makes me laugh because we don't realize it but is not just typical of italians...come on you people, come out of the closet and tell me what are the strange things you do while talking to someone! What do you do when you are at the phone on the street?

I want to know, it could be a research for my thesis!
