How to Learn Italian from Novels about Italy Pt.2

August 22, 2013 By Cher

This episode’s audio doesn’t exist, and we have technology to blame (poof! gone into cyberspace!). Instead of listening to this episode, feel free to use the notes below to learn more about the topic. And if you’re like, “CHER, NO. I NEED THIS EPISODE,” then let me know in the comments below. I’ll put it on my list to record again!

Why this episode is unique

This episode is a little different from anything else I’ve done before in that I go through some phrases that I learned/reviewed while reading the novel Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter.

Le frasi

— La mamma – Mom

— Mia mamma – My mom

— La zia– Aunt

— Mia zia – My aunt

— Il zio – Uncle

— Mio zio – My uncle

— Il nipote– nephew/niece

— Mio nipote – My nephew

— Mia nipote – My niece

— I nonni – Grandparents

— I miei nonni – My grandparents

L’esempio:  “E smettila di mostrare le gambe a mio nipote.”

— L’attimo che dura per sempre  – The moment that lasts forever.

— L’inizio – the beginning
