Let's Go Dancing! - Andiamo A Ballare!

Learn Italian with LearnItalianPod! In today’s episode we will talk about “fare due salti in discoteca” (literally: “to do two jumps in the disco”), a very common Italian expression that means to go dancing. We’ll listen to a conversation between two friends, Angela and Fabio - and we will learn useful words and expressions about “discoteche italiane” (Italian disco clubs), “andare a ballare” (to go dancing), and “amici e amicizie” (friends and friendships). So, let the dance begin!

I’ve really enjoyed this episode. I’ve been living in Italy for a few months and I like the way you use and teach informal and common colloquial expressions - very useful. Thanks!

LeanItalianPod.com e molto bene! Grazie. Viaggeremo al’Italia in un mese e siamo pronti. Ma ho una domanda: quando dobbiamo usare ‘per favore’ e quando ‘per piacere’? Forse non c’e la differenza?

Jim - “per favore” and “per piacere” are interchangeable - non c’e’ differenza.

Ciao a tutti!

Perche’ non si usa il congiuntivo nella questa frase: “So che volevano andare.” ? E’ giusto se posso dire “So che abbiano voluto andare” ? Grazie!!

I believe that, in this case, “che” is used as simple conjuction - “I know THAT they wanted to go”. “So che abbiano voluto andare” is incorrect; if you wanted to use the conditional, then it would be “so che avrebbero voluto andare”, that has a very similar meaning to “so che volevano andare”.
