Walk and Talk in Taormina:Learn Sicilian Words and Hand Gestures. - With Tasting
Overview
Parli Sicilianu? Do you speak Sicilian? During this 2,5-hour Walk and Talk Tour of Taormina, you will learn the words most used by Sicilians, which make up an average of 50% of a sentence, as well as the most useful phrases and expressions you can hear everywhere in Sicily. While you wander the exquisite beauty of Taormina, your friendly local guide, who is a true Sicilian, will explain you the difference between Italian and doc Sicilian language, and how different cultures (Greek, Roman, Arab, and others) influenced the Sicilian language. And of course, you will learn the essential part of Italian culture: body language and hand gesturing! Then drop in at a famous rosticceria, and order arancini and a coffee or beer using your new language skills. A deeper, more informed, friendly experience with Sicilians, and warmer memories to take back home. Minchia! At the end of the tour you have Arancino tasting.
