You just met a fantastic guy in your favorite sidewalk café in Italy. You have noticed him here a couple of times with his Italian friends, but today he was reading alone at a table. There is nothing more appealing than an intelligent Italian man! So, you decide to take advantage of the situation and introduce yourself in Italian…thanks to Beginner lesson 1! You hit it off right away; you have a lot in common. At a romantic Italian restaurant on Friday night, things could not be going better…that is, until the bill arrives. He fumbles through his wallet, as if he were really going to find anything in it, then turns to you and asks in his sweetest Italian voice if you mind getting the check this time. It is then that he explains he is but a mere Italian college student overcome by your beauty, yet without a dime to pay for your meal! Good grief! Well, the next thing you have to learn is how to ask what someone does for a living in Italian…or go broke feeding the beautiful (and charming) starving students in Italy.
Learning Italian with ItalianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Italian! In this Italian Beginner lesson, you will learn how to ask what someone does for a living in Italian using Italian verbs fare and studiare. Then, we will discuss Italian universities, their layout, and the living arrangements of their students living in Italy. Stop by ItalianPod101 for other great Italian learning resources!
