Anglo-Saxon

Being from the UK, I am considered by Italians to be someone from an Anglo-Saxon culture. This makes me chuckle because for me ‘Anglo-Saxon’ sort of conjures up images of a people clad in fur and who rally to the war cries of a queen going by the name of Boadicea.

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

SEE HOW IT WORKS

Before anyone corrects me, I know that Boadicea had nothing to do with Anglo-Saxons. Anyway, I sure you’ll be happy to hear that I rarely wear fur and know nobody by the name of Boadicea. I’m not even your average pagan either.

Just a funny thought for the day, that’s all.

For reasons unknown, I had never let my mind wander towards something like Italian indie music. I guess that to me the idea of indie music in Italy got lost somewhere in amongst football, pizza, and Eros Ramazzotti.
