You’re so tired that you’re falling asleep. Your stomach is growling at you, you haven’t eaten all day. Your throat is as dry as sandpaper. But your Italian friends don’t seem to notice; they haven’t found your hike through the hills of Tuscany tiring at all, and after a short rest, they pick up their packs and continue on. You sigh, stand up and continue on. You can’t blame your friends for their apathy though, you haven’t actually told them of your discomfort. The problem is that they don’t speak any English… if only you knew how to let them know how you felt…

The ability to express basic needs like hunger or thirst is one of the most useful skills you can learn in a new language. Although you may not want to be quite so complaining as Luca, in this lesson, he shows us how to do just that. For more info on Italy and the Italian language, come to ItalianPod101.com!
