May 4th, 2008
Diane, a great friend and a listener from San Diego, California, sent us a super-nice email. She says: “Nothing makes or breaks a look like the shoes you’re wearing. I have to confess that I’m a shoes fanatic, and I spend most of my shopping money on them! In less than one month, I will be in Rome, and I just can’t wait to start shopping for Italian shoes! So, how about an episode of your wonderful LearnItalianPod.com on how to shop for shoes?” - Terrific idea, Diane! - So today, let’s find out how to enter a store, ask to try on a pair of shoes, and eventually… buy them!

May 12th, 2008 at 1:06 pmThanks for the great lesson on shopping. I really enjoyed it. As a beginnner, I am having a difficult time with the sentence, “Queste scarpe mi vanno bene.” Please explain the use of “vanno” to me.
Grazie,
Canice
