This is great. It’s cool you guys have kept your promise with the tribute to Laura…. And, Jane, you sing well.

While mio ragazzo is in Italy for 3 weeks (Napolitano), I am learning Italian through your podcasts. I want to surprise him when he gets back. And he is a musician so this lesson is coming in handy. Thank you!

Marvin, “here she starts” is the idiomatic translation of “ecco che inizia”. — The expression “ecco che” literally translates as “here that”.

LearnItalianPod.com Says:

“Ecco che inizia” is a colloquial expression equivalent to the English “here he/she starts”. When used that way (another example: “ecco che arriva” - “here he/she is”), then “che” is always needed after “ecco”.

Ciao Marie - thanks for your great post - I’m glad Jane’s singing inspired you (-:

As far as the “plugs” - I understand - we’re actually looking forward to re-edit the audio so subscribers will not hear the plugs when they are logged in - it’ll take a bit, but we’ll get there - but usually is not more than a few seconds… so please bear with us while we get there (-;

Advanced level lessons are coming - very very soon - episodes in Italian only! But yes, our intermediate level (together with Culture Shots and How To Italian) is more than enough for anyone wishing to speak italian fairly well.
