Hi guys, welcome to my podcast once again! I’m here today to give you five phrases in order to agree and disagree in Italian conversations.
First of all let me see an important thing: agreement or maybe disagreement depends on the level that you feel for something you are sharing to someone.
In this episode I only want to give you five different ways to express that you agree or maybe disagree to someone for what they are saying to you. I’m going to share the phrases and I’m also going to give you a kind of translation but make sure that only the Italian phrases are authentic.
Don’t forget to exercise your reading by using the transcription that I’m going to share in the description of this episode.
Let’s go!
😎👉🏼 FOR YOUR PRACTICE:
agree and disagree - five phrases
Let’s start with AGREE
1. Sono d’accordo - I agree
2. La penso come te - I’m thinking the same you think
3. Hai ragione - You are right
4. Condivido - I’m sharing your thoughts
5. Siamo sulla stessa lunghezza d’onda - we are on the same wavelength
Let’s continue with DISAGREE
1. Non sono d’accordo - I don’t agree
2. La penso diversamente - I think differently
3. Io non credo che sia così - I don’t believe it’s going on that way

Hi guys and welcome back to my podcast. In this episode I decided to read for you a novel’s plot of an important novel Italian writer; I’m going to read the plot three times: The first time it’s going to be very slow, the second one it will be in a kind of normal speed and the third one I’m going to try to read in a fast regular speed of conversation which is typical of native speakers ;)
This is going to be a good opportunity for all of you to exercise your listening through three different steps!

Paolo Giordano
“ la solitudine dei numeri primi”
Novel’s plot (prima parte della trama del romanzo)
“Alice ha sette anni ed odia la scuola di sci, ma suo padre la obbliga ad andarci. È una mattina di nebbia fitta, lei ha freddo e il latte della colazione le pesa sullo stomaco. In cima alla seggiovia si separa dai compagni e, nascosta nella nebbia, se la fa addosso. Per la vergogna decide di scendere a valle da sola, ma finisce fuori pista, spezzandosi una gamba. Resta sola, incapace di muoversi, al fondo di un canalone innevato, a domandarsi se i lupi ci sono anche in inverno...”

Hi friends, my lovely friends! How are you today? What are you doing? I’m ready to share another wonderful episode of Vincent Italian teacher.
Today I want to talk to you about the role of the subject in Italian. As we know in English is important to put the subject before the verb in every sentence so that the meaning of the sentence is completed. In other terms it’s a mistake to not put the subject. What about Italian language? Is it the same on that? No it’s not the same.
Especially in conversation Italian people are not used to putting on the subject in the sentence as we are talking to each other. Just for the sake of clarifying this rule I’m going to share 5 sentences: the first one will be completed with subject, the second one will be the typical expression that Italian people used (no subject) and the third one will be the translation in English. Please remember that the second sentence is the typical one that Italian people say during their daily conversations .
Don’t forget to practice even your reading as well as your speaking by using the transcription that I share every week.
Let’s go!
😎👉🏼 FOR YOUR PRACTICE:
no subject no object - 5 sentences
1. Io penso di andare a mare oggi; penso di andare a mare oggi; I think I’ll go to the beach today
2. io vedo che tu sei convinto di quello che dici; vedo che sei convinto di quello che dici; I see you are sure about what you are saying
3. tu leggi molti libri durante la settimana?; leggi molti libri durante la settimana?; do you usually read many books during your week?
4. Io voglio sapere se voi avete visto il mio amico Francesco ieri; voglio sapere se avete visto il mio amico Francesco ieri; I want to know if you saw my friend Francesco yesterday.
5. Loro hanno pensato che noi non saremmo stati capaci di fare questo; hanno pensato che non saremmo stati capaci di fare questo; they thought we wouldn't be able to do this.

My ordinary day
La mia giornata si svolge più o meno sempre così: mi alzo la mattina alle 6:30 naturalmente faccio colazione mi lavo e mi preparo per andare al lavoro. Sono un insegnante, dunque raggiungo la mia scuola per l’ora di lezione che non sempre è alla stessa ora. Terminate le mie lezioni a scuola rientro a casa, preparo il pranzo e mangio. Vivo in un paese di mare quindi spesso se il tempo è bello vado a trascorrere un paio d’ore in spiaggia per rilassarmi e continuare a lavorare con il mio computer sotto il sole! Nel pomeriggio specialmente in alcuni giorni della settimana vado in palestra e mi alleno: faccio sollevamento pesi ed a volte corro. Dopo la doccia rientro a casa leggo qualche pagina del mio libro preferito e preparo la cena. Dopo cena arriva l’ora di Netflix! Mi piace guardare le mie serie preferite e se non sono troppo stanco guardo almeno tre puntate. Vado a letto di solito a mezzanotte o giù di lì. Dopo un sonno riposante la mia giornata è pronta a ricominciare!

Hi my dears! How are you today? What are you doing? I’m very excited today because I’m going to share with all of you a fresh conversation with my friend Michela who used to live in the north of the Italy but actually she decided to spend the rest of her life here in the south! She is going to explain us when and why she decided to change her life.
I just marked this episode as C1 level because I think that probably advanced learners are going to pick up phrases rather than expressions but at the same time I’m sure that all of you will enjoy this chat because you like Italian people and you are into listening to their natural conversations.
Before to start I want to point out something: in order to do this interview I prepared five questions for Michela that I have to say is both excited and worried about this chat. As a will talk I’m going to introduce each question by saying “domanda 1, domanda 2....” You can find these questions in the description of this episode so that you can review the questions to improve your level of listening as well as to understand as much as possible the answers that Michela is going to give us.
Last but not least we are recording outside because it’s a wonderful day here; probably you will hear some noises but, you know what, this is part of real conversations guys!
😎👉🏼 FOR YOUR PRACTICE:
7 questions
Domanda 1
Ciao Michela, intanto presentati!
Domanda 2
Hai vissuto per tanto tempo al Nord. Adesso sei qui al sud. Intanto dicci, come mai hai deciso di cambiare la tua vita e quando sei approdata qui a sud.
Domanda 3
Siamo amici da molto tempo e so che sei appassionata di fotografia, è vero?
Domanda 4
Qual è la cosa che ti piace di più del vivere qui al sud?
Domanda 5
Come tutti gli esseri umani che hanno una grande sensibilità e sognano sono convinto anche tu avrai dei grandi sogni per la tua vita. Quali sono?

Hi my dears! What is up!? Vincent Italian teacher here...
We will talk today about conditional: since we have four different types of conditional in English, I thought to use this four types of conditional to talk about how to do conditional in Italian:
* The Zero Conditional (used for present real situations)
* The First Conditional (used for future real situations)
* The Second Conditional (used for present or future unreal rather than imaginary situations)
* The Third Conditional (used for past unreal rather than imaginary situations)
I just marked this episode as B1 level because conditional is a tense that can boost your level up, allowing you to use even more complex sentences
You can find these sentences in the description of this episode so that you can review them one by one, improving your reading skills as well
😎👉🏼 FOR YOUR PRACTICE:
Conditional - 4 types
ZERO
- If the water gets to 100° it boils
- Se l’acqua raggiunge 100°, bolle
FIRST
- If it is sunny outside, I will go for a walk
- Se è bello fuori andrò a fare una passeggiata
SECOND
- If she was rich enough, she would spend much more time abroad.
- Se lei fosse abbastanza ricca, spenderebbe molto più tempo all’estero.
THIRD
- If they had booked the ticket online, they would have avoided the line
- Se loro avessero comprato il biglietto online, avrebbero evitato di fare la fila

“ Signori Senatori, si è spento questa mattina all’ospedale Santo Spirito di Roma il maestro Andrea Camilleri: nonostante la malattia che da tempo l’aveva colpito Camilleri ha voluto fino all’ultimo regalarci opere indimenticabili che rappresentano un’eccellenza assoluta della letteratura contemporanea; nella sua vita è stato tante cose: scrittore autore televisivo sceneggiatore insegnante divulgatore e sempre tratti dell’unicità della fantasia e della originalità ne hanno caratterizzato le opere. Ha fatto conoscere al mondo la sua Sicilia: i profumi i sapori le atmosfere le atmosfere uniche di Licata e del commissario Montalbano rappresentano un vero e proprio filone culturale che ha giustamente avuto negli anni un ineguagliabile successo sia in libreria sia in televisione; le sue prese di posizione anche relative al dibattito pubblico hanno sempre messo in primo piano l’amore per l’Italia e per il suo territorio a partire dalla difesa dell’ambiente e del patrimonio storico e culturale, e proprio la sua impronta costituirà il tassello della cultura italiana.
Vi invito ad un minuto di raccoglimento. “

Una mattina Angela ha un incidente con il suo scooter. Trasportata d'urgenza in ospedale, viene identificata da una rianimatrice come la figlia di un suo amico, un chirurgo dell'ospedale, Timoteo. Venuto a conoscenza della notizia, l'uomo ripensa al suo passato e si rivolge con un lungo monologo alla figlia, a cui racconta un periodo della sua vita fino ad allora tenuto segreto: la passione per una travagliata ragazza di borgata, Italia, che lo portò alla rinascita, alla scoperta di sé, quando ormai tutto sembrava non avere più alcun senso. Un amore nato come sfogo orrendo, tramontato quando era sul punto di divenire vita. La morte della donna in seguito ad una setticemia causata da un aborto lascerà un vuoto incolmabile in Timoteo, che si vedrà costretto a riprendere la propria strada e tornare alla sua arida esistenza familiare ed alla sua vita di facciata. Solo in seguito, la figura della figlia risanerà parzialmente la grande ferita. -
