You just met a fantastic guy in your favorite sidewalk café in Italy. You have noticed him here a couple of times with his Italian friends, but today he was reading alone at a table. There is nothing more appealing than an intelligent Italian man! So, you decide to take advantage of the situation and introduce yourself in Italian…thanks to Beginner lesson 1! You hit it off right away; you have a lot in common. At a romantic Italian restaurant on Friday night, things could not be going better…that is, until the bill arrives. He fumbles through his wallet, as if he were really going to find anything in it, then turns to you and asks in his sweetest Italian voice if you mind getting the check this time. It is then that he explains he is but a mere Italian college student overcome by your beauty, yet without a dime to pay for your meal! Good grief! Well, the next thing you have to learn is how to ask what someone does for a living in Italian…or go broke feeding the beautiful (and charming) starving students in Italy. Learning Italian with ItalianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Italian! In this Italian Beginner lesson, you will learn how to ask what someone does for a living in Italian using Italian verbs fare and studiare. Then, we will discuss Italian universities, their layout, and the living arrangements of their students living in Italy. Stop by ItalianPod101 for other great Italian learning resources!

Glad you can have lots of fun while LEARNING ITALIAN with us, you know, when you study a foreign language it is sometimes very hard to concentrate but CON ME E MARCO, with me and Marco, the most important thing is to keep SMILING, SORRIDERE, even when you are learning something NOIOSO (boring…. like grammar)
Cinzia
Questa lezione è stata molto interessante è divertita .
Lol This part was very funny :
Marco: Cinzia, Are you a student?
Cinzia: I’m not a student.
Marco: So, you’re not that young anymore, are you?
Cinzia: “Marco!, adesso mi fa arrabbiare”
hehe, the best thing is that me and Cinzia are like that naturally!
Italians like to make fun of each other (in a friendly manner).
Ciao
Marco
Ciao Cinzia!

It’s true that you make learning something noioso (boring, like grammar) very interesting and fun!!!
Great job Marco and Cinzia!

Scherzo - I am joking
Buona giornata
Marco
Cinzia,
Davvero studi Giapponese? (Nihongo ga benkyou shimasuka)
By the way, can I write Giapponese with capital G, or should I write giapponese (with lower case g)?
Ciao ciao,
Rene
Dear Rene,
you should write giapponese only with a lower case g.
While Giappone (Japan) has to be written with a capital G.
Ciao
Marco
Ciao
