38. Emergency: Call 118! (Intermediate)
April 29th, 2007
Learn intermediate level Italian with Podcasts! Today’s episode is about… how to deal with emergencies. Inspired by yet another feedback from one of our listeners — this time is Maria from England, today’s episode will show you how to ask for help in a emergency situation. This episode will complement and expand lesson 38 beginner level that was also dealing with emergencies. As we said already previously, we hope you’ll never need this lesson… but, as Maria says, “better safe than sorry, right?” — We agree, Maria.

11. The Pizza Olympic Games (Culture Shot)
April 22nd, 2007
Learn Italian with our eleventh Culture Shot, inspired by an email that we received about a week ago from Laura. She lives in New Zealand and a while ago she met a cool Italian pizza maker. His dream? To participate to the Pizza Olympic Games! “I thought he was kidding”, says Laura, “but he told me it’s for real! Are there such things as Pizza Olympic Games?” — There are, dear Laura, there are… and we’re telling you all about it. Enjoy!

37. To Be or To Stay? (Intermediate)
April 15th, 2007
Learn Italian with Podcasts! Today’s episode is inspired by an email that we recently got from one of our listeners — that’s Gary from New York, grazie Gary! — in the email, Gary suggested us to create a story that explains when and why the verb “stare”, “to stay” is used versus the verb “essere”, “to be”. — Ottima idea, Gary! Oggi vedremo la differenza tra il verbo essere e il verbo stare. Enjoy!

We’ll learn one of the most well known Italian proverbs, one that says a lot about Italians and their philosophy of life.
