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.

Tonight has been magical! Your first date, well, the first successful one that you have had in Italy has gone very well! It took some coaching though! Let’s just say you owe your Italian roommate a huge debt of gratitude! He has spent the past two months explaining to you in Italian why each of your disastrous dates have failed and what it is that you need to do differently the next time! After the first date, he told you in Italian “do not talk about your ex-girlfriend!” After the second, he explained in Italian “don’t wipe your hands on your clothes…or hers!” Wow. And most recently he yelled in Italian while frantically pulling his hair out, “do not tell her you are broke from the last five bad dates!” But after months, he thinks you are finally ready. This date has gone very smoothly. You knocked on her door at 7:00 PM sharp, not a second late…nice start! You showered and wore clean clothes. You even used your napkin at the posh Italian restaurant. But did you really think it was going to be this easy? Upon dropping her off at her house, her sexy younger Italian sister opens the door to see who is outside. Joking, you ask her in Italian, “is she available tomorrow night?” Did you know doors could shut that fast? Looks like it’s back to the drawing board for you!
