It’s your first week working for the Italian company. Your boss wants your Italian colleagues to teach you something new today. Today, you will be learning how to operate the most important computer in the entire company…the heart of the Italian company. They explain the intricate workings of the computer in great detail…and completely in Italian of course! “If you do this, then this will happen,” and “if this happens, you need to do this immediately!” You understand some of what they are saying to you in Italian, possibly enough to figure it out yourself…maybe. You can’t tell your Italian boss that you don’t understand, and you are too embarrassed to tell your Italian colleagues. Admitting something like that would put you at a serious disadvantage in an Italian company! The next day your boss wants you to take the great Italian computer for a solo-run. What’s the worst that could happen? If you bring down the entire Italian company, then you lose your job, right? 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 use if-clauses in Italian. We will give you plenty of examples for using these helpful Italian clauses. Then we will discuss the Celtic leader, Vergingetorix. If you stop by ItalianPod101 when you are through, then you will find more fantastic Italian learning materials! Leave us a comment while you are there, we would love to hear from you!

Dear Stephan,
Thank you very much!
I hadn’t noticed it!
The community seems to be rather happy just at listening Cinzia’s voice! Although we’d like more comments.

Hello there, since my forum user name is “scarrafone” i’d thought it would be suitable to tell you that this lesson has the wrong category
Since it is categorized as newbie lesson it never appears in my feed (okay, call me “pignolo”
). P.S. there are not many comments here and in the forum. I hope that doesn’t reflect the number of users and that there are enough active users to keep this Pod alive. I, for one, enjoy every lesson! Thx, Stefan

I really enjoy this podcast.
In this lesson, you gave the following example:
“Ci vediamo a mezzogiorno” as “I’ll see you at noon.”
I’m really new to this but isn’t that “We’ll see you at noon” or am I just confused?
Thanks!

Nevermind. I re-listened to some older episodes of the series and found the answer. Good old reflexitive verbs.
