The Italian Escape: A bilingual English-Italian language podcast
9 - Innamorarsi in Italia | Did you know how hard life is when being in a relationship with an Italian and living in Italy?
06 May 2022
Living in Italy is wonderful. Its food, its people and its language are famous all over the world. But let me (Gabriele) tell you that being a mixed couple in Italy is hard. Can you make Italian friends, or will you live in the "expats’ circle" bubble? Do you know enough Italian culture to win your Italian partner family’s blessing? Can you handle Italian bureaucracy and get your Italian long-stay permit? If you answered NO to any of such questions, I must tell you that having a successful mixed couple relationship is going to be hard. We bumped into such problems, and they made my then-girlfriend feel like a burden. But there was a way out of it so that, in the end, we managed to get married. The solution? Learning the Italian language and Italian culture. Just having a basic Italian knowledge that will let you buy your grocery is not enough to make your relationship last. We recorded this episode to share our experience with you. Listen to it now, practice your Italian for free AND learn how you can overcome some of the challenges (and how some are still to be solved!)
