Today Francesca La Sala shows us some popular hand gestures which will have you communicating with the natives in no time flat!
As you probably know we have created a community of convivial like-minded people who have become Watermill patrons. There are lots of bonuses when you join.
Patrons receive regular exclusive videos keeping them up to date on all our activities and on top tips from our renowned creative tutors, podcasts giving insights into Italian life, and, of course, delicious recipes from the Watermill kitchen. We have already produced 20 or so items for our Watermill patrons. These items remain exclusive to patrons for two months before being put on ‘general release’ so others can enjoy them too.
(Patrons themselves also enjoy other continuing exclusive perks, such as free access to some of our live, interactive online painting sessions and discounts for our renowned residential creative courses here at the mill. They have their say, too, on future exciting projects at the Watermill.)
We have just released another few ‘patrons’ perks’, which we would like to share with you in the coming days.
In Part Two of our ‘patrons’ videos now on general release’ Watermill Italian tutor Francesca La Sala shares some of the essential body language that makes Italian life even more interesting. Please just click here to view the video.
