Dr. Coach Sarah kicks off some Shady Italian Lessons by breaking down how SUPER polite and SUPER formal speech can be anything but polite....and may be the perfect response to any uncomfortable situation!


“Please excuse me” in the informal - “Scusami” feels like a supplication, a looking someone in the eye and asking for grace, while the formal “Mi scusi” can either be exceedingly polite or a TOTAL sorry-not-sorry."
