26. I Would Buy A Ferrari (Intermediate)
October 29th, 2006
Learn Italian Language with Podcasts! Today we are going to finish what we have started a couple of weeks ago. Then, we have introduced the expression “se io fossi” (if I were); today, we are going to learn more about hypothetical sentences, and how to use the subjunctive and the conditional together. It’s not easy, be warned! While doing so, Jane is telling us about her dream of living in a villa in Tuscany, and Massimo about his dream of buying a Ferrari. Enjoy!

25. If I Were Rich… (Intermediate)
October 15th, 2006
Learn Italian Language with Podcasts! Here’s Massimo on a typical case of “Sunday night blues”. He doesn’t feel like going to work tomorrow, he whines a little, and says “Se fossi ricco…” (If I were rich…). Even if you love what you’re doing, as Massimo does, don’t tell us you never had a “Sunday night blues” episode. We will not believe you. Let’s see how Jane shuts up the whiner (Massimo), let’s learn the typical Italian expression “c’e’ chi sta peggio”, and let’s review the use of subjunctive mood on hypothetical sentences. Enjoy!

24. Let’s Toast! (Intermediate)
October 1st, 2006
Learn Italian Language with Podcasts! Somebody once said: “Wine makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant, every day more civilized.” Tonight she’s cooking, and she invited him over for dinner. He’s bringing wine, white Verdicchio because she likes it, and red Barolo because it goes with the meat. The evening sounds promising: let’s open a bottle, and let’s toast to a good time spent with a friend! And while having fun, let’s learn how to use the indirect object pronouns.

So, you really like her, don’t you? You’ve been thinking of asking her out, and waited for the right moment… There she is, a classic Italian beauty, and she’s talking to you. You nervous? What if she turns you down? What if you forget what to say? Relax! Play it cool, and tell her about that nice “posticino dove si mangia molto bene” (little place where one eats very well) you’ve discovered, and see if she’s going with you…
