Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! While you’re enjoying the local Italian festival with your friends, you spot a beautiful woman a few feet away with a couple of kids. You tell your friends in Italian, “Now there’s an attractive lady.” Your friends look at her, look back at you, and say in Italian, “Are you serious? She looks a little too old for you.” You respond in Italian, “Nah, look at her! She’s in good shape. And she’s probably just babysitting those kids. I’m going to go talk to her.” You walk away from your friends, stop to buy a flower, and bring the flower to the lady. You hand her the flower and tell her in Italian, “Here’s a pretty flower for a beautiful lady.” The lady looks at you, laughs, and says in Italian, “Thank you, that’s very sweet.” You hand her a piece of paper and tell her in Italian, “Here’s my phone number. Call me: I’d like to take you out sometime.” She responds in Italian, “Thanks, but I think I’m a little too…mature…for you.” You respond in Italian, “Nah…how old are you, anyway?” Your friend punches you in the ribs and whispers in Italian, “Were you raised in a barn? I can’t believe you just asked her that! You’re so rude!” Blushing, you excuse yourself before she can respond and walk away to the next Italian booth at the market with your friends.
