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?

You are terribly late and afraid you might miss the Italian play! Frantic, you call the Italian babysitter to find out where she is!

Relieved, you suddenly face the fact that you still don’t know how to tell your friends you are hurrying in Italian. Just then, the babysitter bursts through the door! You thank her in Italian and begin to head out the door. She stops you and tells you that for an extra ten Euros she will call your friends on her cell phone to tell them you are on your way in Italian! Ooh, that’s going to cost you! What an expensive little Italian entrepreneur!

What about this scarf?” He responds in Italian, “It’s also handmade here in Italy, so it’s more expensive.” You ask in Italian, “What, did the silkworms grow up here too?” With that, you storm out of the store and march onto the next Italian merchant.
