[00:00:00]Did you know that Italians grow up speaking two languages?

[00:00:04]The official language of Italy is Italian and it's the Italian that is taught in school, that is used on TV, and that is spoken across the country.

[00:00:15]But each region has its own dialect and accent.

[00:00:20]Some of the most popular ones are Sicilian, Neapolitan, Venetian, and Sardinian.

[00:00:27]These dialects are so different from each other that the people from different regions do not understand what the other person is saying. And that's the beauty of growing up in such a beautiful country. Italian regions are proud of their accent and of their dialect because it is a sense of identity of who they are, of their special traditions and culture, which differ from region to region.
