32. Running Errands (Intermediate)
February 4th, 2007
Learn Intermediate Level Italian with Podcasts! Today we are going to find out why our foreign student of Italian did not show up in class for the past few days and in doing so we are going to practice some useful prepositions, like “a” (to), “da” (to), and “in” (in). We’ll also get the chance to learn some colloquial Italian expressions like “fare dei giri” (to run some errands) and “e’ un pezzo che…” (it’s been a while since…). Enjoy!

31. Show Me The Money (Intermediate)
January 21st, 2007
Let’s Learn Italian with Podcasts! This time we are going to build upon last intermediate level’s episode, “Ready To Enroll”, where we assumed you have made a new year resolution to take your Italian to the next level: so, you made it to Italy, enrolled for a class, and all feels just great… except that you are running out of cash and need to withdraw some money at the nearest ATM, but don’t know how. No problem! Your Italian “professoressa” is going to show you how… right after the lesson, of course. Enjoy!

November 26th, 2006
Learn Italian Language with Podcasts! Today we are going to listen to a dialogue between Renzo e Lucia while in Rome, inside “la famosa Cappella Sistina” (the famous Sistine Chapel). Thanks to Renzo, who thinks “Il Giudizio Universale” (The Last Judgement) is… a sculpture (ouch!), we’ll learn the popular Italian expression “fare una figuraccia” (to make a fool of oneself), and some art related words like “scultura” (sculpture), and “affresco” (wall painting).
