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!
