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.

Oggi vedremo la differenza tra il verbo essere e il verbo stare. Enjoy!

34. Helping Jennifer (Intermediate)
March 4th, 2007
Learn Intermediate Level Italian with Podcasts! Jennifer, a student of Italian coming from Australia, has the opportunity to practice her Italian with Giovanni, a nice young gentleman that is trying to help her out. Today Professor Frison (aka Jane) will explain the grammar rule that in English is called “present perfect continuous”, the one we use to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. Finally, we’ll wish “buona fortuna” to Jennifer, a very smart young lady that a year ago became one of the first LearnItalianPod subscribers - and after a few months of practice she felt she was ready to go to Italy to spend a year there studying Italian - and she’s doing it!

33. Active or Passive? (Intermediate)
February 18th, 2007
Learn Italian with Podcasts! Let’s see what our Italian class is up to: today Professor Frison is going to introduce something new, the passive form. “No, no, passive form is too difficult!” says one student. Not so, says Professor Frison (aka Jane). She has a secret trick to make grammar rules stick: “When you want to learn something not so inviting like grammar” - she says - “use food in your examples, and you’ll see!” Enjoy!
