So I picked up a lot of Italian from opera but never officially studied it

I couldn’t ask for directions, but I know weirdly specific things like:

  • know how to say “1003” (but not, for example, how to say “20”)
  • announce my arrival to a dinner in a really ominous manner
  • screech “avenge meeeee”
  • call a tyrant out on his bullshit
  • threaten to kill someone
  • declare “I’m dying” then proceed to not die for another five minutes
  • swear everlasting friendship
  • “you killed my father”
  • “Vengeance is my only God”
  • praise wine
