Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! Whenever we need some thing not to happen, that thing almost always happens! For example, today, you arrive at work just a few minutes late and rush into the Italian kitchen, face flustered, and run smack into the last person you want to see - your boss! Fortunately, the reason you are late is because you were entertaining your boss’s sister at an Italian concert until the wee hours of the morning, so you hope your Italian boss can forgive you this one transgression. You sheepishly say in Italian, “Good morning, sir!” Your boss barks back at you in Italian, “Nice of you to show up there, son. It’s time to get down to business! I think we’re going to have a very busy day with the Italian soccer match, so there’s no time to waste.” It’s a good thing you work in a coffee bar, so you can chug your Italian espresso and get revved up for your day!
Learning Italian with ItalianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Italian!

Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! You wake up in the morning, still humming the songs from last night’s Italian concert. When you go to grab breakfast before heading to work, you run into your brother in the kitchen. He tells you in Italian, “Please stop humming that song!” You reply in Italian, “I can’t help it! I’m so addicted to this music, especially after last night’s great show!” He covers his hears and responds in Italian, “I’m so jealous. I really wanted to come, but I had to finish this work and I knew I would be very busy today.” You give him your best wise sister face and advise him in Italian, “You know, sometimes you need to just let work go and smell the roses. Shows like this don’t come along very often, and next time you will have to join us!” He replies in Italian, “Absolutely. Next time, I will go, and you can stay home and do my job for me.”
