5. An Unexpected Encounter (Upper Intermediate)
December 14th, 2008
Here’s what our VIP Subscriber Amanda has to say about this new Upper Intermediate Level Series: “I just love this new series. That’s exactly what I needed. I can understand most of the Italian spoken on the series, and it is challenging enough to drive me on and keep me digging deeper into this marvelous language. For a while, I felt like my learning was stuck. Now it’s all back, and I’m improving everyday… it’s a beautiful sensation. Grazie mille!” - “Prego, Amanda, il piacere e’ tutto nostro!” - So, what is our friend Italo up to this time? As he’s walking to his business meeting, all of a sudden a female voice calls his name… Who is this woman? A business associate, an old friend, maybe an old flame? Listen to this episode, entitled “An Unexpected Encounter”, and find out!

September 16th, 2007
Learn Italian with LearnItalianPod! In today’s episode we will talk about “fare due salti in discoteca” (literally: “to do two jumps in the disco”), a very common Italian expression that means to go dancing. We’ll listen to a conversation between two friends, Angela and Fabio - and we will learn useful words and expressions about “discoteche italiane” (Italian disco clubs), “andare a ballare” (to go dancing), and “amici e amicizie” (friends and friendships). So, let the dance begin!

41. What A Nice Dinner! (Intermediate)
June 10th, 2007
Learn intermediate level Italian with Podcasts! One of Italian people’s favorite ways to relax and unwind after a long day at work is to have dinner with friends. Jane invited Massimo over for dinner the other night: she cooked a great meal and made first-class tiramisu for dessert. He brought some excellent Pinot Grigio, and they had a great time. Let’s talk about food, wine, and having a good time, all while learning about conditional sentences, and some other useful expressions. Enjoy!

37. To Be or To Stay? (Intermediate)
April 15th, 2007
Learn Italian with Podcasts! Today’s episode is inspired by an email that we recently got from one of our listeners — that’s Gary from New York, grazie Gary! — in the email, Gary suggested us to create a story that explains when and why the verb “stare”, “to stay” is used versus the verb “essere”, “to be”. — Ottima idea, Gary! Oggi vedremo la differenza tra il verbo essere e il verbo stare. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

20. She’s Back! (Intermediate)
August 13th, 2006
