Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to a brand-new series that promises to entertain, educate, and inspire. It's called "Roberto in America"—a collection of funny, heartfelt, and sometimes downright silly stories about Roberto, a charming Italian with big dreams and a little English, navigating life in the U.S.
Each episode in this series will feature five stories packed with Roberto's hilarious adventures, linguistic mishaps, and cultural discoveries. From ordering coffee to surviving the subway, Roberto’s journey is not just about learning a language—it’s about embracing a new way of life, one laugh at a time.
In this episode we will talk about the following stories from the series:
- “Big Apple Dreams”
Roberto arrives in New York City, overwhelmed and enchanted. He mixes up words at customs, leading to a funny but tense exchange with officers who almost think he's here for "spy work."
- “The Italian Chef”
Roberto volunteers to cook an "authentic Italian dinner" for new friends but struggles with American grocery stores, buying bizarre substitutes. A hilarious dinner ensues with surprising results.
- “The Metro Mishap”
Trying to navigate the subway, Roberto misunderstands directions and ends up on the wrong side of town. He meets locals who help him in their own unique ways.
- “Lost in Translation”
Roberto’s first job interview becomes a comedy of errors as he misinterprets questions and idioms. Despite it all, he leaves a positive impression.
- “Roberto the Romeo”
Roberto tries to flirt with an American girl but misuses romantic expressions he learned from old movies, leading to a hilariously awkward exchange.
