Italians love their coffee; there is no doubt about that! What we tend to think of as Italian espresso may not be the same as the hot cup you get when you enter that fabulous Italian bistro though! If you are traveling with your friends in Italy, do you know how to order multiple things using the Italian language you have learned? Do you know how to communicate in Italian well enough to purchase more than one ticket to the Italian museum you and your friends have been dying to get into? When speaking to the group of Italian friends you met in the villa, could you ask all of them how old they are? You could be wasting a lot of precious Italian sightseeing time if you don’t! Learning Italian with ItalianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Italian! This Italian Newbie lesson will teach you the rules for forming Italian plural nouns as well as how gender and number effects the construction of Italian plural nouns. You will also learn a little history on Italian coffees. Don’t forget to stop by ItalianPod101 to pick up some extra Italian learning materials! We would love to hear from you while you are there, so leave us a comment!

Do you usually ask someone’s age the first time you meet?

Quasi mai.

I also never ask someone’s age, it seems rude.
Ciao!

I don’t ask adults their age. I do ask people the age of their children, sometimes. My daughter and I are often asked what her (my daughter’s) age is. So maybe this is a good thing to learn if you have kids, and meet people with kids.

Dear Krista,
I also think that age is more commonly asked when there is a young person involved, like a child or a teenager.

Dear J. Mario,
I was waiting for this comment!
I will make sure that SHE writes her age!
Buona giornata

Si - la Senorina Italiana e “aggressive”, ma anchile coy!
By the way - ItalianPod101.com is the best Italian program on Itunes. I tried the others; they don’t compare with you two. Benisimo!

Dear J. Mario,
It is better to say
“Le ragazze italiane sono aggressive, ma anche qui lo sono!”
“Italian girls are aggressive, but they are so also here!”
We prefer to use the plural form because by doing so it becomes a general statement and not a direct one.
Thank you for your compliments.
It is going to get even better!
Ciao

I see, that makes sense.
Grazie mille!

My father reminded me recently of the time when I was a child and I was asked my age:
Uncle:”Quanti anni hai? ”
Me:” Tanti!” and I was only 3!
Sorry, I am not brave enough to tell you ‘quanti anni ho adesso!’
Ciao

Hi,
I think the PDF has the wrong dialog for the Formal Italian and Formal English bits. They read the same as Newbie Lesson #5 and are nothing like the Informal Italian and Informal English bits.
Any chance of a correction?
Tuesday at 6:12 pm
Thank you for pointing that out!
It has been fixed now.
Buona giornata

This lesson is a bit of a challenge for me. You are really making me concentrate. I love it.

Ciao Bendeb!!
Challenge is good, but I’m sure you can also have fun with our dialogues and lessons.
Grazie mille per il commento!
