Lurker Benvenuto!

(or handy Italian phrases for the young American traveler.)

So I guess there's no word in Italian for lurker?

I asked a neighbor of mine (Guisepe) to translate some common phrases from English to Italian. Just in case you need them. He said that most of these were not very common and would probably end up getting you in trouble. At least I think that's what he said: his accent is very thick and he has a mustache. Anyway here are some phrases that might come in handy. Thanks Guisepe!
