Monty Python Teaches Italian
Friday January 2, 2009
Class is in session with Monty Python's Flying Circus. In the classic comedy sketch Monty Python teaches Italian, a lesson in introductions leads to comparatives. And then, of course, this being The Pythons, a student with a guitar stands up and begins singing (a traditional Neapolitan song, perhaps?).
Comments
so…if you take lessons in italian from “monty python” will you speak italian w/ a british accent? i shudder when i hear some of my fellow americans speaking italian…especially when the accent is “texan”. [hey, no comments, i live in texas…though originally from california]. M
What a hoot, Michael. I’d forgotten about the sketch, but as a long-time Python fan, it was great to see it again.
Mille grazie!
marianna– i cant remember ever reading a comment of yours where you arent critical against americans or the US in general, either seriously or even for fun.
