15. Cone or Cup? (Culture Shot)
June 17th, 2007
Learn Italian with LearnItalianPod! Today’s episode is all about… il gelato Italiano! Ice cream represents all over the world one of the most famous Italian traditions. Moreover, summer is almost here, and with summer, at least in Italy, it’s “gelato primetime”! What’s better than a good ice-cream to begin the summer season? Let’s learn all about Italian ice cream flavors: “cioccolato” (chocolate), vaniglia (vanilla), fragola (strawberry), and “limone” (lemon). As Massimo says, “me and ice cream, best friends forever”. Enjoy!

Let’s talk about food, wine, and having a good time, all while learning about conditional sentences, and some other useful expressions. Enjoy!

His dream? To participate to the Pizza Olympic Games! “I thought he was kidding”, says Laura, “but he told me it’s for real! Are there such things as Pizza Olympic Games?” — There are, dear Laura, there are… and we’re telling you all about it. Enjoy!

7. The Midnight Spaghetti (Culture Shot)
February 25th, 2007
Learn Italian language with our seventh “Culture Shot” (”Colpo di Cultura”, in Italian), a weekly small bite of culture coming from Italy. Today we’ll talk about an all Italian recipe (”una ricetta tutta italiana”): The Midnight Spaghetti. The main ingredient is… a nice night out with friends. Right when you think it’s time to go to bed, one of the friends says: “Guys, why don’t we go to my place for spaghetti?” It’s almost midnight, and you really should go, but… can you say “no” to your friends? No way! Enjoy your spaghetti, everyone!

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!
