Taboo Thursday #8 || Italian vocabulary guessing game

Listen to the video: I will describe an object or a profession only in Italian, but without saying the actual vocabulary word.
Your job? Try to guess it, of course!
You can share the solution in the video comments or on social media, too!

The vocabulary used to describe the word is relevant in context, this means that you will able to listen to and group up words that are related to a specific topic (e.g. anything related to being a waiter).

By providing vocabulary this way, your brain will be keener on retaining information because you are not simply discovering a new word and translating it in your native language. What you’re doing, instead, is creating a picture in your head that will be associated with that word and therefore easier to remember.

Also, to step away from applied linguistics, this game is useful in a unique way. When you are abroad and can’t express a word, which one do you think will be more effective: keep repeating it in your native language without being understood, or try to explain and describe it to the best of your Italian skills?
