duolingo is great bc i had to call a client today to yell at them politely ask why they were ghosting me, and when i got through to their office and asked to speak to my contact they just made confused noises at me THEN HUNG UP

so fuelled by the power of indignation and duolingo i immediately called back and once again oh-so-politely asked if i could please please please speak to their colleague BUT IN ITALIAN THIS TIME

and lo and behold i got an answer that time. grazie mille 💚

#the person i spoke to started replying to me in english as soon as i broke out the italian tho #and historically we've always communicated with that client in english #so i was not insane for starting with english!! in my defence!!#also i dooooo always talk to our french clients in french #and i WOULD talk to our spanish clients in spanish 🥲 if we had any spanish-speaking clients 🥲 but alas nope not a one #deeply sad for me tbh i miss speaking spanish every day!!!!!!!!#but yeah i've never studied italian formally! all my knowledge of it is from duolingo! so i am reluctant to put it to the test too muchskfj
