22. Ten Pick Up Lines That Work (5 Minutes A Day)
June 7th, 2010
Learn Italian with LearnItalianPod.com - VIP Member Giuseppe from Atlanta, Georgia sent us one of the most unusual emails that we have ever received. He says: “My good friend Tom and I are going to be leaving for Italy in a couple of weeks for the trip of a lifetime. - We’re both single and, of course, we’d love to be able to meet women when in Italy, and who knows, maybe have a little romance…” - Then he adds: “Thanks to LearnItalianPod, we both speak some Italian… but what we really need now are some pickup lines we can use to meet and start flirting with Italian women. - Can you help us, Jane and Massimo?”
Giuseppe, this is truly a tough one! But no worries, we love the challenge! - So, after doing some research and asking a few Italian friends, here they are… “10 Pickup Lines That Work”. Enjoy!

November 25th, 2007

Learn Italian language with “How To Italian” episode nr. 3! In this episode we are going to learn how an Italian man approaches, with style, a little bit of cheesiness (someone would say more than a bit…), and some persistance, a woman that he likes. Our friend Marco is in the lounge bar of the Hilton hotel in Rome, when he notices a woman he likes a lot. He decides to approach her. Good luck, Marco!

Enjoy!

47. My Arms Fall Down
October 8th, 2006

Let’s learn one of the most used typical Italian expressions - that’s “far cadere le braccia” (literally: make arms fall down) while finding out how Massimo is doing with his new girlfriend, Sara. Things are definitely not looking good: he says everytime she opens her mouth, his arms fall down… uhm, no, not a good sign! We’ll also review and practice “come va con…” (how is it going with…), a very common way of asking people about things they are doing. Enjoy!
23. Asking Her Out (Intermediate)
September 17th, 2006

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…
