She responds in Italian, “I have no idea. Why don’t you suggest something?” You tell her in Italian, “Why don’t we go for a walk through the market?” She responds in Italian, “No, I don’t feel like doing that. What else can you think of?” You suggest in Italian, “What if we went out to that Italian shop you love and bought some new clothes?” She responds in Italian, “That’s a good idea, but I’m running low on cash. So no to that too, unless you’re buying.” You respond in Italian, “Nope. How about a good, cheap Italian meal?” She responds, “Okay, but I’m not going to that place we always go to across the street.” You mutter to yourself in Italian, “Could you be more difficult?”

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… Learning Italian with ItalianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Italian!

One of the best things about Italian nightlife isn’t going out, but staying in. Just as in other countries, Italians often enjoy staying at home, turning on the TV or firing up the video game console, and relaxing. But the best thing about staying home in Italy is the pizza. Instead of the tough cardboard covered in rubbery “cheese” and “tomato” paste, served outside of Italy’s borders, each Italian pizza delivered to each Italian home is a gift from the divine. In today’s dialogue, Anna doesn’t have anything on either, and enjoys a pizza.
Today we have a dialogue full of idiomatic expressions, we are going to study how to use the preposition di, see the Italian word giro and its different usages and the corresponding English translation. So why did Anna spend the night in and didn’t hang around with Luca and Peter? In today’s dialogue Peter asks Anna about the night before.
Dialogue - Informal
