Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to talk about what someone is doing in Italian?
You'll learn how in just a moment.
Hi, my name is Felice, and this is Three Step Italian by ItalianPod101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to talk about what someone is doing in Italian through a quick conversation.
Let's look at the dialogue.
As you listen, pay attention to how they ask about the topic and how the other person responds.
Emily, la settimana scorsa era il tuo compleanno, vero? Brindiamo! Cosa stai bevendo?
Un succo di frutta.
Bene, allora buon compleanno! Cin cin!
Cin cin! Grazie!
A proposito, cosa stanno facendo i ragazzi adesso?
Adam sta cucinando la cena. Isabella sta andando da una sua amica. Asia sta leggendo un libro. Te la chiamo!
Grazie!
Let's hear it with the English translation.
Emily, la settimana scorsa era il tuo compleanno, vero? Brindiamo! Cosa stai bevendo?
"Emily, last week was your birthday, right? Let's toast! What are you drinking?"
Un succo di frutta.
"A fruit juice."
Bene, allora buon compleanno! Cin cin!
"Well then, happy birthday! Cheers!"
Cin cin! Grazie!
"Cheers! Thank you!"
A proposito, cosa stanno facendo i ragazzi adesso?
"By the way, what are the kids doing now?"
Pay attention to the next paragraph. Part of it follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson.
Adam sta cucinando la cena. Isabella sta andando da una sua amica. Asia sta leggendo un libro. Te la chiamo!
"Adam is cooking dinner. Isabella is going to a friend's house. Asia is reading a book. I'll call her for you!"
Grazie!
