Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! Every day when you were a young child in Italy, your mom would come home from work and inevitably find you plopped down in front of the television playing a video game. She’d always ask you in Italian, “Have you done your homework yet?” And your answer was always the same in Italian: “I’ve done part of it, but I’m taking a little break. You know, I can’t sit in school for eight hours a day and do homework the whole afternoon.” Whether or not it was the truth, it was my standard Italian response. Of course, my mother saw through that, so she’d tell me in Italian, “Okay, you can take a break, but only for a few more minutes. And remember, if your grades slip, I’m taking the video games away for good!”

Why would he do that?” Your friend responds in Italian, “No one knows, but he may have gone to chase after his ex-girlfriend. The word on the street is that he might propose!” You doubt this to be true, but you decide to let the Italian story grow so you say in Italian, “You don’t say! You know, he really did love her…”

Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! Your friend asks you in Italian, “Can you recommend a good book to me to carry on vacation?” You respond in Italian, “Sure. That depends on whether you want a good but easy beachside read or something that will challenge you and make you think.” You tell your friend in Italian, “Hmm. I think I need something easy to read between cocktails and taking dips in the pool. Nothing too heavy, please.” You ponder it for a moment and suggest in Italian, “You could consider trying to read some poetry…it’s short and to the point.” Your friend tells you in Italian, “Yes, that’s the right length, but unless it’s a limerick, too much thinking will likely be involved!”
