Even the birds seem to notice what a great day you are having! As you casually stroll along a park in Rome on your way to meet a friend, the beauty of the day overwhelms you. As you reach the café in your dreamy state, your friend looks at you questioningly as you approach and asks in Italian, “Are you okay?” Bursting with the excitement of the day, you begin to tell her in Italian all about how beautiful the day has been. However, when you get to the part about the birds singing, you stop abruptly at a complete loss for the appropriate Italian words. Again, noticing the sudden disappointment on your face, your friend asks in Italian, “You still okay?” Deeply saddened by your inability to express the beauty of the swans in the pond or the beautiful peacock with its colorful display that you experienced today, you drop your head and answer in Italian, “Well, there were these birds, and they were pretty.” Your friend looks at you as if you have lost your mind, replying in Italian, “Oh, that’s nice.” Another lost opportunity.

Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! You are enjoying what was a quiet picnic lunch in a quiet Italian park, when suddenly, your children come barreling towards you screaming! It seems like it takes ten minutes to calm them and their friends down enough so that you can concentrate on one voice at a time! Your son yells in Italian, “Mom, mom!!! We were at the pond and we saw something moving in the water!!” His friend, equally excited, continues in Italian, “Come see, come see!! Pleeeease! What IS it?” Laughing, both out of relief and because they are adorable, you agree to go explore the depths of the pond with them. As you reach the edge of the water, both boys are tugging at you and screaming in Italian, “See it? There it is!! What is that???” You move a little closer to get a better look, almost stumbling into the water (which you are SURE they would have enjoyed tremendously), when you realize what it is they are talking about. You point to the little swimmer in the water and tell the boys in Italian, “That is a frog…and that one there, that is a newt.” The boys stare into the water with a newfound fascination; you can almost hear the wheels spinning in their heads, when they turn and look at you and both reply in Italian, “Can we keep him, can we keep him? PLEEEEEAAAASE???” Well, ItalianPod101.com can’t prepare you for everything, you know?

Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! You are sitting in your class at the university in Italy today, and your professor promises a special challenge. You must admit, you are a little nervous. In the past, ’special challenge’ has meant anything from pop-quizzes to his grandmother’s secret recipe…blech, now THAT was a challenge! As your professor approaches the podium, he starts up the projector and begins showing slides of what appears to be animals from Australia. You are thoroughly confused now. He explains in Italian, “Your test results on the last exam were so bad that I decided I would give you an easy bonus grade. For each of these animals that you can name in Italian, I will give you five points on your exam…and believe me, you ALL need it!” With that, the class erupts into applause…but not you. You learned the names for common pets in Italy and even the Italian names of common zoo animals. But you NEVER thought about learning how to say ‘platypus’ or ‘kangaroo’ in Italian. Well, you’ll know when you retake his class next semester…

Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! You learned a lot the last time you agreed to watch your niece…and this time, the joke’s on her. Yes, last time, she thought she was so smart because she knew the Italian names for so many insects in your garden. But she is only five years old, and you are pretty sure that you have her this time! You have a bug day planned - of gardening again. She loves it, and it is an excellent chance for you to show off your new Italian insect vocabulary that you have been practicing. As you follow her out into the flower garden, she looks back at you with those big patronizingly sweet eyes and says in Italian, “Look, what is this bug called?” Oh, she’s fast: she thinks you don’t know this answer. You kneel down next to her, sneer on your face, and reply sweetly in Italian, “Honey, that is a spider, and it looks like it’s protecting itself from you.” Astonished, she whips her head around to face you and replies with a simple, “Oh.” You point to another bug nearby and explain in Italian, “And look here, the cicadas are climbing up the tree.” She stares at you in disbelief and replies in Italian, “I don’t want to look at bugs any more, let’s go work in the garden!” Looks like you beat her at her own game AND get some help with that unruly garden too! Nice job!
