45. The Afternoon Nap (Intermediate)
August 6th, 2007

Learn Italian with Podcasts! Our dear friend Maria from New York asks: “Is it true that in Italy all shops close during lunch break?” - “And is it true that during the afternoon break Italians love to take a nice nap?” — Dear Maria, the answer to both questions is yes! On this episode we’ll talk about one of Italians favorite activities: “il riposino pomeridiano” (the afternoon nap). We’ll also learn a thing or two about Italian shops opening times and we’ll review and practice Italian prepositions. Enjoy!

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!

44. Our Little Puppy Toby
August 27th, 2006

Tobia is the Italian name of Jane’s nice little puppy and he likes hiding everywhere. Massimo is looking for him on the bed, under the sofa, and behind the plant. Let’s see if he can find him so they can go play outside - it’s such a beautiful day! Today we are learning and practicing some Italian prepositions, like “sopra” (on, above, on top of), “sotto” (under, below), and “dietro” (behind).
