Manuel! You had us all tricked. We had all been telling Giulia not to bother with you, that you were useless, not to be trusted and that she deserved better. You know, she wasn’t really looking forward to your date, but from what she told me on the phone last night, you really did well! What happened? What’s that? I should listen to today’s Lower Intermediate Lesson #12 to hear how the date went? Ok, pass me my mp3 player, I think I might do just that!

In today’s lesson, we will be studying the hypothetical period third type, the periodo ipotetico della irrealtà. Moreover, we’ll see the differences between this type of hypothetical period and the two we analyzed in previous classes.

We hope you’re listening to this lesson Manuel. In it, your date for tomorrow, Giulia is talking about where you’re going to eat. I think she wants to go to La Diligenza, but has some nasty things to say. Not good, amico. I think she has a point to. Well, if you’re listening to this Manuel, click on the link and have a listen to the dialogue we recorded. I just hope you hear this lesson in time and get your act together and make those reservations.

In today’s Italian lesson, we’ll be learning about the Periodo ipotetico della possibilità, the second type of hypothetical period in Italian. For a detailed explanation, listen to the mp3, download the PDF, and if you’re still unsure, come to the site! Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com!
