3 Handbook Welcome to the AudioNovo Language Course! Before the course begins, a brief word on how to use it. In order to achieve the best results, it s important that you complete a lesson every day. This method ensures that you revise new words at precisely the right intervals for best embedding them in your memory. Speak out loud during the course. This will significantly help you in developing good pronunciation from the start, which is very important for communicating in a new language. You will quickly realize that this is a significant advantage of the audio course. It will also help you to remember new words more easily. The structure of the lessons is relatively simple. There are two types of exercise: Exercise #1: YOU PRACTISE WITH THE PRESENTER. During this part of the lesson, the presenter will pose you questions or prompt you to say particular things. After each question or prompt there will be a short pause for your answer. You then respond, as in a normal conversation, to what the presenter says to you. Make sure to speak loudly and confidently. After that, one of the speakers will likewise respond to the presenter, and you can check yourself using their answer. You then repeat the speaker s answer once more and take care to imitate their pronunciation as closely as possible. Exercise #2: YOU TAKE PART IN A CONVERSATION. You take part in a conversation with one or both of the speakers. The structure is exactly the same as that of a normal conversation; the speakers will pose you questions to which you then respond, or vice versa. As before, each question or answer is followed by a short pause in which you are prompted to respond. The speaker then gives an answer, and you repeat it one more time. Speak loudly during the conversation and try to imitate the speakers pronunciation as closely as possible. As such you will, with a little practice, pronounce the language just like the speakers, who are native speakers. To that end, it doesn t matter how loudly they read the dialogue. You only need to make sure that you are, indeed, speaking. The course is designed in such a way that you can express yourself and master everyday situations even after a short time. You ll find that you quickly come to enjoy conversing in your new language. We wish you fun and success with your AudioNovo language course! 2

4 Lesson 1 Presenter Italian Male Speaker Italian Female Speaker Welcome to the first lesson of AudioNovo Italian. Benvenuti alla prima lezione dell'audionovo italiano Listen to the following conversation in Italian: Buongiorno signora, parla inglese? No, signore. Scusi, non parlo inglese. Io parlo un po d italiano. Lei è inglese? Sì, esatto. Arrivederci! Arrivederci! Within the next half-hour you ll not only understand the conversation, but also take part in it. Imagine an English-speaking man who is in Italy for the first time. He sits down next to an Italian woman at a table in a café. He wants to start a conversation, and says: Buongiorno signora This language course aims to make your pronunciation as similar as possible to a native speaker s. The speaker will now pronounce each word. Repeat them out loud after him. Buongiorno signora He speaks directly to the woman and says, Hello, ma am. Buongiorno signora Say: Hello in Italian. Buongiorno Buongiorno Buon- Buon- 3

5 This expression is used in Italian as a greeting during the day. So, how do you say hello in Italian? And now repeat it: Hello, ma am This word means ma am in English. Although this form of address sounds exceedingly formal in English, the equivalent Italian word is perfectly common in everyday speech. Repeat the word for ma am Once more! And this is how you address a man in Italian: Say it again: Now repeat again: Hello, ma am Repeat once more: Hello, sir Now you ve attracted the attention of your conversational partner, in this case the woman, and -giorno -giorno Buongiorno Buongiorno Buongiorno Buongiorno signora Buongiorno signora Signora -gnora -gnora Signora Signora Signora Buongiorno signora Buongiorno signora Signore Signore Signore Buongiorno signore 4

6 you can ask whether they speak English. Listen and repeat. Hello ma am, do you speak English? Pay attention to the word inglese, which means English, and try to imitate the pronunciation. Repeat it again: Very good! And now ask politely whether the woman speaks English: Repeat the phrase for: Do you speak? When pronouncing the letter r, try to touch the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth to produce an authentic, quickly-rolled r : Whereas in English, three words are used do, you, and speak Italian uses a single term. Since the ending of the verb indicates the grammatical subject (the person who is doing the action), it is immediately clear which form of address is being used. Listen and repeat, syllable for syllable: Buongiorno signora, parla inglese? inglese inglese inglese Inglese Inglese Parla inglese? Parla inglese? Parla Parla Parla Parla Parla Parla inglese? Parla inglese? 5

7 Just listen, and pay attention to how the speaker raises their voice at the end of the sentence because it is a question. Do you speak English? Repeat the word for English again: Repeat the question Do you speak English? again: Say: Hello Hello, ma am Hello, do you speak? Hello, do you speak English? Listen to the woman s polite reply and repeat: No, sir Repeat once more: No, sir How do you say, No, ma am? Say: Hello Do you speak English? Reply: No, sir Parla inglese? Parla inglese? Inglese Inglese Parla inglese? Parla inglese? Buongiorno Buongiorno signora Buongiorno, parla? Buongiorno, parla? Buongiorno, parla inglese? Buongiorno, parla inglese? No signora No signora Buongiorno Parla inglese? No, signore Signore No signore No signore No signore No signore 6

8 Listen carefully this is how you say in Italian: Sorry, I don t speak English. Listen to the word for sorry and repeat it: Sorry Listen and repeat: No, sir. Sorry. Well done! Let s go back to the start of the conversation. Say: Hello, ma am. Do you speak English? She replies: No, sir. Sorry I don t speak English. No, sir. I don t speak English. In Italien, no means no, and non negates a verb. Let s imagine that you still want to speak English. How do you say, I speak English? Once again: Very good! And now: I don t speak English Can you remember how to say you speak in Italian? Buongiorno signora. Parla inglese? Scusi, non parlo inglese. Scusi Scusi Scusi Scusi No signore. Scusi. No signore. Scusi. No signore. Scusi Scusi Non parlo inglese. No signore. Non parlo inglese. Io parlo inglese Io parlo inglese Non parlo inglese 7

9 Now listen to and repeat the phrases for I speak and you speak Notice that verbs in the first person that is, when you re speaking about yourself end in o. For example: Say: You speak English And now ask: Do you speak English? Do you speak English? Say sorry I don t speak English And now the opposite: I speak English No means no, and non means not, doesn t, and don t. I don t speak English. Say: Sorry, sir And now the speaker wants to say that he speaks Italian. Listen to the word for Italian : Repeat it out loud: parla parla parlo parla parlo Parla inglese Parla inglese? Parla inglese? Italiano Italiano -liano -liano Italiano Italiano Scusi Scusi Non parlo inglese Non parlo inglese Parlo inglese Non parlo inglese. Scusi signore 8

10 Say it once more: Italian Say: I speak Italian. Ask: Do you speak? Now ask: Do you speak Italian? Now the man replies: Yes, I speak Italian. How do you say yes in Italian? Now say: Yes, I speak Italian. This is how you say I in Italian: I speak English. I speak Italian. I don t speak English. I don t speak Italian. Do you speak English? Do you speak Italian? This is how you say: A little Italiano Parlo italiano. Parlo italiano. Sì, io parlo italiano. Sì Sì Sì, io parlo italiano. Io Io Io parlo inglese. Io parlo inglese. Io non parlo italiano. Io non parlo italiano. Parla inglese? Parla inglese? Un po Un po Parla? Parla italiano? Parla italiano? Io parlo italiano. Io parlo italiano. Io non parlo inglese. Io non parlo inglese. Parla italiano? Parla italiano? 9

11 Repeat: A little You speak a little. Say: Yes. I speak a little. I speak a little. And now ask: Do you speak a little? Here, the form of address Lei is used for you. This can be left out of the sentence in Italian. However, we ll include it more often in the first few lessons in order to practise. Now ask: Do you speak English? with the polite form of address: Say yes I speak English. Do you speak English? Listen again to the terms for I and you, and repeat them: Say: I speak po Un po Un po Sì Io parlo un po Un po Lei parla un po? Lei parla un po? Lei parla inglese? Lei parla inglese? Lei parla inglese? Un po Parla un po. Parla un po. Io parlo un po. Io parlo un po. Sì Io parlo inglese. Io Lei Io Lei 10

12 You speak Now make it negative: I don t speak You don t speak Now the woman asks you whether you come from England. To describe where you re from, use the word inglese. We ve already met this word when describing languages. Inglese can describe either the English language, or an English person. This is how you ask: Are you? Say: You You can leave out the polite form of address for you. Once again, it only serves to clarify who is being described. Are you English The feminine form of Italian ends in the vowel a : Io non parlo Io non parlo Italiana Io parlo Lei parla Lei non parla Lei non parla Lei è inglese? inglese? Lei è? Lei è È È Lei Lei Lei è? Lei Lei è Inglese 11

13 However, the word for English has the same masculine and feminine forms: Ask the woman: Are you English? Ask her: Are you Italian? Now repeat the questions, but to the man: Are you English? Are you Italian? Ask the woman: Are you English? Ask her: Are you Italian? The speaker replies: Yes, exactly. The stress falls on the second syllable. The woman is leaving, and says: Goodbye. Listen and repeat out loud: Italiana Inglese Lei è inglese? Lei è italiana? Lei è inglese? Lei è italiana? Sì, esatto. Sì, esatto. Esatto Esatto Sì Sì Esatto Esatto Inglese Lei è inglese? Lei è italiano? Arrivederci Arrivederci Ar Ri Ve Der Ci Arrivederci 12

14 How do you say goodbye in Italian? Very good! And now ask: Are you English? Yes Prepare to leave by saying goodbye And now let s follow the conversation all the way through from the start of the lesson. This time, repeat everything out loud! Imagine that you re in Italy and want to start a conversation. She doesn t reply, so you ask whether she speaks English: She replies: No, sir. Sorry. How do you say that in Italian? She continues: I don t speak English. I speak Italian. Say: I speak English. How will she ask politely whether you speak Italian? Arrivederci Sì Arrivederci Buongiorno signora. Parla inglese? Io parlo un po d italiano. Sì. Arrivederci! Buongiorno signora. Lei parla inglese? Io parlo inglese Arrivederci Lei è inglese? No signore. Scusi, non parlo inglese. Lei è inglese? Arrivederci! No, signore. Scusi. Non parlo inglese. Io parlo italiano 13

15 Say that you speak a little Italian: She asks whether you re English: You say: Yes! End the conversation with: Goodbye! And it s true you do already speak a little Italian! Congratulations! If you didn t understand everything right away, that s no problem. At the beginning of the next lesson we ll practice what we ve already learnt. We hope that you enjoyed your first conversation in Italian, and we say Io parlo un po d italiano. Sì Arrivederci! Questa è la fine della prima lezione. Arrivederci! Lei parla italiano? Lei è inglese? Arrivederci! 14

16 Lesson 2 Presenter Italian Male Speaker Italian Female Speaker Welcome to the second lesson of AudioNovo Italian! Benvenuti alla seconda lezione dell AudioNovo italiano. Listen to the following conversation in Italian: Scusi, signore! Sì? Buongiorno. Lei parla italiano? No signora. Non parlo italiano. Capisce un po d italiano, no? Sì, capisco un po Ah! Lei è inglese? Sì. Arrivederci, signora. Listen to the conversation again: Scusi, signore! Sì? Buongiorno. Lei parla italiano? No signora. Non parlo italiano. Capisce un po d italiano, no? Sì, capisco un po. Ah! Lei è inglese? Sì. Arrivederci, signora. Can you remember how to say hello in Italian? Buongiorno Try to imitate the speaker s pronunciation as closely as possible. Make sure to blend the u and the o : Buon- Buon- Buongiorno Buon- Buongiorno Say: I speak 15

17 I speak English Now ask politely: Do you speak English? The speaker replies: I don t speak I don t speak English I speak Italian I don t speak Italian I understand in Italian is: Repeat: I understand You understand is: Repeat: You understand I understand Italian Or, without I : A little Io parlo Io parlo inglese Lei parla inglese? Lei parla inglese? Io non parlo italiano Io capisco Capisco Capisco -isco Capisco Io capisco Io capisco l italiano Io capisco l italiano Capisco l italiano Capisco l italiano Un po No signore Non parlo Non parlo inglese Non parlo inglese Scusi Scusi Io parlo italiano Italiano Io parlo italiano Lei capisce Capisce -pisce Capisce Lei capisce 16

18 And now say: You understand Ask: Do you understand? Do you understand Italian? Now say: Excuse me! Do you understand Italian? You ve already met the term scusi with the meaning of sorry. No, sir, sorry! I don t understand. Depending on the situation, it can also mean excuse me, as it does here, when the woman approaches the man with a question. Excuse me! Do you speak Italian? Say: Yes, I speak Italian. I don t speak English. Now ask the woman politely whether she understands Italian: You ve already met the word no. It means no. The word o means or. Literally, o no means or not. In Italian, it s common to use these words together to strengthen a question. You understand Italian, don t you? Un po Sì, io parlo italiano. Lei capisce l italiano? Lei capisce l italiano? Lei capisce l italiano, o no? Lei capisce Lei capisce Lei capisce? Lei capisce? Lei capisce l italiano? Scusi, lei capisce l italiano? No signore, scusi! Non capisco. Scusi, parla italiano? Non parlo inglese. 17

19 No, sir. I don t understand Italian. How do you say English in Italian? Put together the question: Are you English? Which term from the previous question is the polite form of address for you? Say: You are Now ask the question: Are you English? You re English, aren t you? Reply with: Yes, exactly! Most adjectives which end in a are feminine. This is the case with the feminine form of Italian. Pay attention to the pronunciation of a. The same pattern is present in feminine nouns, such as ma am. However, the exception proves the rule! For example, mano the word for hand is feminine, but ends in -o. Now ask the Lei capisce l italiano, o no? Sì, esatto! Italiana Italiana Signora No, signore. No, signore. Non capisco. Non capisco l italiano. Inglese Lei è inglese? Lei è inglese? Lei Lei è Lei è Lei è inglese? Lei è inglese, o no? 18

20 woman whether she s Italian: Yes, exactly. Italian Yes, sir, Italian! How do you say: Yes, ma am? In any formal situation, or when speaking to somebody significantly older than yourself, it is advisable to use the polite form of address. How do you ask whether the man is English? Now answer: How do you say hi to an Italian? In Italian, ciao means both hi and bye. Say: Hi! Excuse me Now ask whether the woman is English: She replies: No, sir. Now the man is asking politely how she is. Listen and repeat: Lei è italiana? Lei è italiana? Sì, signora signora Sì, esatto! Sì, esatto! Ciao Ciao Ciao Ciao! Ciao! Scusi Lei è inglese? Scusi, lei è inglese? Sì, esatto. Italiana Sì, signore, italiana! Lei è inglese? Lei è inglese? No, signore. 19

21 How do you say how in Italian? Now ask the woman how she is: In Italy, questions such as how are you? are usually posed immediately after greetings, and are commonly exchanged between acquaintances, friends, and colleagues. They primarily serve to start a conversation and ease the mood. There are several variants to the effect of how are you? which are often used one after the other. Ask politely how your partner is: Say: Hi How are you? It isn t always necessary in Italian to specify the grammatical subject (the person who is doing the action), since the verb form makes it obvious. Specifying the subject, as you ve already learnt, only affects the tone of the sentence. As Lei come sta? Come Sta Lei come sta? Come Sta Lei come sta? Come Come Come sta, signora? Come sta, signora? Lei come sta? Ciao Ciao Lei come sta? Lei come sta? 20

22 such, you can also ask How are you? in the following way: Ask whether she s English: No, sir. Now say: Hello, ma am! How are you? Well, thank you! Listen, and repeat the word for thank you. How do you say well, thank you in Italian? Which word means well? Repeat: Well, thank you! Ask: How are you? and specify the person. Reply: Well, thank you. Make sure to pronounce a soft g and a rolled r. Listen and repeat: Come sta? Come sta? Lei è inglese? Lei è inglese? Buongiorno, signora! Come sta? Come sta, Lei? No, signore. Bene. Grazie! Grazie Grazie Gra- -zie Grazie Grazie Bene. Grazie. Bene Bene Bene, grazie! Bene, grazie! Bene. Grazie. Grazie Grazie Grazie Bene. Grazie. 21

23 Specify the grammatical subject and ask: How are you? Well, thank you. A common reply is very well. In Italy you will rarely hear somebody reply that things are not going well. Listen to the Italian word for very : Say: Very : Try to say: Very good Say: Hi And ask politely: How are you? Well, thank you. Can you remember the word for I understand? Try to say: I understand very well Ask: Do you understand? The woman replies: Yes, I understand very well. Can you remember the word for goodbye? Lei come sta? Ciao Come sta? Capisce? Arrivederci Arrivederci Arrivederci Bene. Grazie. molto molto molto Molto Molto bene Molto bene Bene. Grazie. Capisco Capisco molto bene. Capisco molto bene. Sì, capisco molto bene. Sì, capisco molto bene. 22

24 The woman replies with see you soon : Listen and repeat: Pay attention to the pronunciation of the rolled r. How do you say see you soon in Italian? Which other ways do you know of saying goodbye? How do you say see you soon? Say: Goodbye Imagine that you want to start a conversation with somebody in Italy. How do you politely greet a woman? She might reply with: Hi You want to know how she is. How do you ask that politely? She replies: Very well, thank you! Now ask whether she s English: How would you ask a man the same question? Make sure to lift your voice at the end of the sentence: Arrivederci! Arrivederci! Arrivederci! A presto Buongiorno signora Buongiorno signora Come sta? Lei è inglese? Lei è inglese? A presto A presto A presto A presto A presto Arrivederci Ciao Molto bene. Grazie! Lei è inglese? 23

25 He answers: Yes, exactly How does the woman say no? Ask her whether she speaks English: She replies: I don t understand English She says: I speak Italian Do you speak Italian? Say: Sorry, but I don t speak Italian. Very well I don t speak very well. I understand Italian. A little I understand a little. I speak a little. She asks you whether you re English. Don t specify the person. Yes, exactly. Sì, esatto. Parla inglese? Scusi. Non parlo italiano. Molto bene Non parlo molto bene. Non parlo Molto bene Non parlo molto bene Capisco l italiano.

26 Do you speak Italian? Very well You speak very well. Say: Thank you Say goodbye with see you soon Say: Goodbye! Great! You ve conducted another successful conversation in Italian! In the next lesson we ll review what we ve already learnt. You ll also learn, amongst other things, how to say where you re from in Italian. That s the end of Lesson 2 of the AudioNovo Italian course. Sì, esatto. Grazie Grazie A presto A presto Arrivederci Arrivederci Questa è la fine della seconda lezione dell AudioNovo italiano! A presto! Parla italiano? Molto bene Molto bene Lei parla molte bene. Parla molto bene. 25

27 Lesson 3 Presenter Italian Male Speaker Italian Female Speaker Welcome to Lesson 3 of AudioNovo Italian. Benvenuti alla terza lezione dell AudioNovo italiano. Listen to the following conversation. Buongiorno, signore! Buongiorno! Lei come sta? Bene? No, signora. Non molto bene. Non parlo italiano. Ma no! Capisce molto bene. Parla bene l italiano! Grazie! A presto! Arrivederci! The conversation will be played again. Sit back and listen: Buongiorno signore! Buongiorno! Lei come sta? Bene? No, signora. Non molto bene. Non parlo italiano. Ma no! Capisce molto bene. Parla bene l italiano! Grazie! A presto! Arrivederci! Can you remember how to say sorry in Italian? Ask the woman whether she understands. Specify the person: You understand, don t you? The speaker replies: Yes. Scusi Lei capisce? Lei capisce, o no? Sì. 26

28 And she asks: And you? Listen to the word for and. It s simply the vowel e. Notice the difference in pronunciation between è (as in is and are ) and e (as in and ). Listen to the difference: Ask: And you? The reply is: No, ma am. Say: I don t understand. Say: I speak And now the opposite: I don t speak I don t speak Italian I speak English And you? Now the woman asks you whether you re English. She specifies the person: Yes, exactly. E Lei? E Lei? E E Lei è inglese? Lei è inglese È È Lei è inglese? No, signora. Non capisco. Io parlo Io non parlo Io non parlo italiano Io parlo inglese Parlo inglese Parlo Parlo inglese E lei? E Lei? E Lei? E Lei? Lei è inglese? Inglese Lei è inglese? 27

29 And you? Continue: Are you English? Listen to the speaker s reply and repeat: I m not English! How do you say in Italian: I am? As you ve already learnt, in Italian you don t necessarily have to specify the grammatical subject, because the verb ending makes it obvious. As such, one word is enough to translate I am. Are you English? Specify the subject: No, I m not English. The woman says: I am Italian Just like the word also finishes in a, if it describes a woman. Now say: I am English as a man. Sì, esatto. E lei? Lei è inglese? Lei è inglese? Inglese Italiana Sono inglese. Non sono inglese Sono Sono Sono Non sono inglese Io sono Io sono sono Io sono sono No, non sono inglese. Sono italiana. Italiana Sono italiana. 28

30 Now say I am Italian as a woman. Now say the opposite: I am not Italian as a man. Say I am not English as a woman. Say: And you? Are you English? Yes, exactly! I m from London. Listen and repeat: How do you say from in Italian? Say: from London How do you say I am in Italian? Tell somebody that you re from London: I am English. From where? Listen and repeat: Say where in Italian: Non sono italiano. Sì, esatto! Sono di Londra. Di Di Sono di Londra. Di Di Di di Londra di Londra Io sono sono Sono di Londra Sono di Londra Sono inglese. Sono italiana. Non sono inglese. E lei? Lei è inglese? Di dove? dove dove Di dove? 29

31 Can you remember how to ask: Are you English? And now the speaker asks: Where are you from? Can you hear how the e at the end of dove merges with the è? Listen again and repeat: Say: I am from Edinburgh. The Italian word for Edinburgh is: How do you say hello in Italian? Now listen to the greeting used in the afternoon, and try to repeat it: This greeting is used in Italy from the early afternoon after lunch until the onset of evening. Repeat the greeting used in the afternoon: Edimburgo Sono di Edimburgo Edimburgo -burgo Edimburgo Sono di Edimburgo Buongiorno Buongiorno Buon pomeriggio Buon pomeriggio Buon pomeriggio buon Buon pompompomerig- dove dove Lei è inglese? Di dove? Di dov è lei? Di dov è lei? Di dove? Di dov è lei? Di dov è lei? 30

32 Greet somebody in the afternoon: Say: Hello When parting, you can also say the following, which means [have] a pleasant day! : Listen carefully and repeat: How do you say good afternoon? Nouns in Italian are masculine or feminine. Giorno ( day ) and pomeriggio and ( afternoon ) are both masculine, so we say: The word is the masculine definitive article : it means the, and goes in front of a masculine noun. There is another word for the which goes in front of feminine nouns, and it is: Repeat the day, singular, in Italian pomerig- -gio -gio pomeriggio Buon pomeriggio Buongiorno Buona giornata Buona giornata Buona Buona giornata giornata Buona giornata Buona giornata Buon pomeriggio Buon pomeriggio il pomeriggio il giorno il La il giorno 31

33 Now say: hello How do you greet someone in the afternoon? Listen carefully: How do you say: The afternoon? How do you say: The day? How are you? Specify the person: Reply: Well, thank you! Say: I m from London. I speak English. Now ask: Do you speak Italian? Greet someone in the late afternoon: In parting, wish someone a pleasant day : When it s dark outside, a different greeting is used. Listen, and try to say: Good evening! il il giorno Buongiorno Buongiorno Buon pomeriggio il pomeriggio il pomeriggio il giorno il giorno Lei come sta? Come sta? Sono di Londra. Sono di Londra. Parlo inglese. Buon pomeriggio Buona giornata Buona giornata Bene, grazie! Parla italiano? Lei parla italiano? Buonasera sera sera Buonasera 32

34 Say: Good evening Say: Have a nice evening! Now try to guess how to say evening in Italian: Do you use the masculine definite article or the feminine In Italian, the evening is feminine. The a on the end of buona also shows this But when, upon parting, you want to wish someone goodnight, you say: The night is: In Italian, night is feminine: Say: good evening the day Goodnight Hello How do you tell somebody that you re English? And that you re Italian (feminine)? Buona serata! Buona serata! Sera il la la sera la sera Buonanotte -notte -notte Buonanotte la notte la notte Buonasera il giorno Buonanotte Buonanotte Buongiorno Sono inglese Buonasera, signore Buonasera Sono italiana 33

Grazie Sono di Milano Milano Sono di Milano Molto bene Molto bene Capisce Lei capisce Lei capisce, o no? Parla italiano. Lei parla italiano. E lei capisce molto bene. E lei capisce molto bene. Di niente Di niente niente Niente 34

36 Literally, it means of nothing that is, there is nothing for which you have to thank me. Say: You re welcome! See you soon! Goodbye! Can you remember how to say hi? This expression can be used both in meeting and on parting. Ask the woman whether she understands English, and specify the subject: No, sir. I don t speak English. I speak Italian. Do you understand Italian? A little Not very well I m English I come from England A presto! Ciao Lei capisce il l'inglese? Lei capisce il l'inglese?

Non parlo inglese. Io parlo italiano. Lei capisce l italiano? 35

37 How do you say I come from? When enquiring about a person s home country, we ask where they come from; when enquiring about their hometown, we ask where they are from. Now ask the woman which city she s from: From Rome I come from England Ask your conversational partner how she is: Well, thank you! And you? Very well, thank you! Goodnight Goodbye Greet the man in the morning: Hello The woman introduces herself and gives her name. Listen and repeat: He says: Try to repeat: Vengo Io vengo Di dov è lei? Di dov è lei?

Now listen to the Italian word for hotel and repeat it: Albergo albergo The hotel l albergo l albergo Notice how the word for the is spoken together with the word albergo. Repeat: The hotel l albergo l albergo Ask again where are you? and specify the person: Dov è Lei? Now try to ask: Where s the hotel? Come sta? Di dov è lei? 41

43 Ask where the hotel is: The man replies with here. Listen to and repeat the Italian word for here qui qui qui Try to say: It s here È qui qui È qui qui Now repeat it s here again and try to pronounce it as clearly as possible: È qui Once again, you might notice that Italian only needs two words instead of three to express it is here. The reason, as we learnt in the previous lesson, is that the verb form in itself indicates the grammatical subject. Repeat: It s here È qui Now try to form the question: Is it here? Ask: Where is it? Where s the hotel? It s here È qui È qui The woman expresses her agreement. Okay. Listen and repeat: Dov è l albergo? Dov è l albergo? è Dov è l albergo? Dov è l albergo? l albergo Dov è l albergo? È qui? Dov è? Dov è l albergo? 42

44 Say: Okay This expression is very common in Italy. It is sometimes used twice in succession for added emphasis. Ask: Where s the hotel? It s here. Say: Okay Now ask where to find the Vía Savoia hotel: Where s the restaurant? Listen to the word for restaurant and repeat it: The stress on the word ristorante falls on the penultimate syllable, as it almost always does in Italian. Here, take care to pronounce the vowels clearly: Where s the restaurant? Does the word È qui. Va bene! Va bene! Va bene! Va bene. Dov è l albergo? Va Bene. Dov è l albergo Via Savoia? Dov è l albergo Via Savoia? Dov è il ristorante? ristorante ristorante -rante -rante ristoristoristorante ristorante ristorante il ristorante il ristorante Dov è il ristorante? il ristorante Dov è il ristorante? 43

45 take the masculine definite article or the feminine? It s here. The restaurant s here. The answer could also be it s there. Listen and repeat: Say: It s there. It isn t there. It s there. Repeat, in turn, here and there. Notice that refers to the speaker s immediate location, while is further away, but still within the reachable vicinity, so that the speaker could point to the place. It s here It s there Ask where the hotel is: And the restaurant? Is it there? ristorante il la È qui. Il ristorante è qui. Il ristorante è qui. Non è qui. Non è qui. qui È qui Dov è l albergo? l albergo Dov è? E il ristorante? È lì? il ristorante È lì lì lì È lì. È lì. lì È lì 44

46 No, it s here. Okay. Can you remember how to say good afternoon? Introduce yourself to the woman. I am Mr. Smith. In Italian, you literally say I am the Mr. Smith. She is pleased to meet you and says I am Ms. Bianco She wants to know about you. Do you speak English? Yes, I speak a bit of English and Italian. I m from London. Okay. You speak English, don t you? Yes, exactly. But you understand Italian very well. Thank you. Yes, I understand Italian. This literally means: Yes, I understand the Italian. You re welcome. Goodbye, Mr. Smith. See you soon, Ms. Bianco. Va bene. Perfetto. Buon pomeriggio Sono il signor Smith. Sì, parlo un po di tedesco e italiano. Ma io sono di Londra. Sì, esatto. Grazie. Sì, capisco l italiano No, è qui. Piacere......sono la signora Bianco. Lei parla tedesco? Va bene. Lei parla inglese, o no? Ma capisce molto bene l italiano. Di niente. Arrivederci signor Smith. 45

47 A presto, Signora Bianco. Now listen to the name of the restaurant, and try to repeat it: L antipasto L antipasto L antipasto Now ask where the restaurant L antipasto is: Dov è il ristorante L antipasto? Dov è il ristorante L antipasto? It s there, sir. È lì, signore. lì È lì, signore. It isn t here. Non è qui. Very well. Thank you. Molto bene. Grazie. Are you English? Lei è inglese? È inglese? Yes, exactly. I m English. Si, esatto, sono inglese. Sono inglese. Esatto, sono inglese. Your conversational partner wants to know: Where are you from? Di dov è Lei? Di dove? Di dov è Lei? I m from London. Sono di Londra. Londra Sono di Londra. Now ask where do you come from? with reference to country: Da dove viene? Da dove viene? I come from England. Vengo dall'inghilterra. Vengo dalla Vengo dall'inghilterra. 46

48 Can you remember how to ask where the Via Savoia hotel is? Dov è l albergo Via Savoia? Very good! And now repeat the question: Where is the Via Savoia hotel? Dov è l albergo Via Savoia? It s there. Ask: Are you from Edinburgh? No, I m from London. Where s the restaurant? Where s the restaurant L antipasto? Is the restaurant here? And the hotel? Is the hotel here? No, the hotel isn t here. It s there. Ask: Where do you come from? I come from Italy. Here, make sure to contract dall and Italia into one word: Can you remember how to say, as a woman: I am Italian? No, sono di Londra. Dov è il ristorante? Il ristorante? Dov è il ristorante L antipasto? È qui il ristorante? E l albergo? È qui l albergo? Da dove viene? È lì. Lei è di Edimburgo? No, l albergo non è qui. Non è qui. L albergo non è qui. È lì. Vengo dall Italia. Dall Italia Vengo dall Italia. Sono italiana Sono italiana 47

49 And you? Now say, as a man: I am Italian Most adjectives have an a at the end. How do you say I am Italian as a woman? Now say, as a man: I am not Italian I am English. Can you remember how to say sorry, ma am? Well done! How would you greet the woman in the early morning? The woman asks: How are you? Reply with very well and thank her: And you? Not very well. I don t understand Italian. Sono italiano. Sono italiano. italiano Non sono italiano. Sono inglese Scusi, signora. Buongiorno Molto bene. Grazie. E Lei? Say: But you speak very well! Ma Lei parla molto bene! Parla Ma Lei parla molto bene! I don t speak. I don t understand. I don t speak and I don t understand. E Lei? Sono italiana. Come sta? Non molto bene. Non capisco l italiano. Non parlo. Non capisco. Non parlo e non capisco. 48

50 Yes, you do understand, and you speak a little. Did you notice that in this situation was used to signal disagreement with the previous statement? In this context, it adds emphasis to the sentence. In English, we achieve this by adding do before the verb. However, you understand and you do understand are both translated by Lei capisce. Say again: Yes, you do understand, and you speak a little. Thank you. How do you respond to thank you in Italian? Ask: Where are you from? I m from London. I m not Italian. The man is not familiar with Italy, and asks where the Vía Savoia hotel is: It s there. And the restaurant L antipasto? Sì, Lei capisce e parla un po. sì Sì, Lei capisce e parla un po. Di niente! Di niente! Sono di Londra. Londra Sono di Londra. Non sono italiano. Non sono italiano. Dov è l albergo Via Savoia? Dov è l albergo Via Savoia? E il ristorante L antipasto? Grazie. Di dov è Lei? È lì. È lì. 49

51 It s here. Okay. Thank you. You re welcome. How do you introduce yourself and give your name? Say: Hi, I m Mr. Smith. How does the woman say pleased to meet you? And you? Are you Ms. Rossi? No, sir. I m Ms. Bianco. Sorry. Now Mr. Smith replies: Pleased to meet you, Ms. Bianco. Here, no article is used. An article is only used with a name after I am. Very well. See you soon! Goodnight! You re now at the end of the fourth lesson of AudioNovo Italian. Wonderful! By now you can ask about the location of a hotel or restaurant. After the next lesson and a little revision, you ll be able to say that you have time and money. E il ristorante L antipasto? Va bene. Grazie. Ciao, sono il signor Smith. E Lei? Lei è la signora Rossi? Lei è la signora Rossi? Scusi. Piacere, signora Bianco. Buonanotte! È qui. Di niente. Piacere Piacere No, signore. Sono la signora Bianco. Molto bene. A presto! 50

52 Questa è la fine della lezione numero 4. A presto! 51

53 Lesson 5 Presenter Italian Male Speaker Italian Female Speaker Welcome to Lesson 5 of AudioNovo Italian. Benvenuto alla lezione numero 5 di AudioNovo italiano. A traveller from England can t find his way around Milan yet. He politely asks a woman which way to go. Listen to the following conversation. Ascolti bene questa conversazione! Did you notice that the woman used the word Scusi, signora. Buon pomeriggio. Dov è l albergo Via Real? Va bene. E il ristorante L antipasto? Dove, esattamente? Va bene. Capisco. Grazie. A presto! Sì? Buon pomeriggio. L albergo è qui. Ah, è lì! Ah, guardi, è lì! Di niente. Arrivederci! 52

54 Guardi It means look! Listen to the conversation again. Ascolti un altra volta! Scusi, signora. Buon pomeriggio. Sì? Buon pomeriggio. Dov è l albergo Via Real? L albergo è qui. Va bene. E il ristorante L antipasto? Ah, è lì! Dove, esattamente? Ah, guardi, è lì! Va bene. Capisco. Grazie! Di niente. Arrivederci. A presto! Can you remember how to say the Via Savoia hotel in Italian? L albergo Via Savoia Where is it? Dov è è Reply: It s here. È qui 53

55 Repeat both words separately and take care to pronounce them clearly: È qui Repeat: It s here. È qui. È quí. Okay. Perfect! Va bene. Perfetto! And the restaurant? E il ristorante? Reply: It s there. È lì. Where? Dove? Listen to the word for look! and repeat it: Guardi guardi guardi Look! is used as an instruction, in order to raise the level of attention in a conversation. Repeat the sentence: Look! It s there. Guardi. È lì. It isn t here. 54

56 Non è qui. She asks: Where do you come from? Da dove viene? Da dove viene? I come from England. Vengo dall'inghilterra. Okay! You come from England. Va bene! Lei viene dall'inghilterra. Yes, exactly. I come from England. Sì, esatto, vengo dall'inghilterra. dall'inghilterra Vengo dall'inghilterra. And you? E lei? Are you from There? Lei è di qui? È di qui? Reply: No, sir, I m from Florence. No, signore. Sono di Firenze. Firenze di Firenze Sono di Firenze. 55

57 Okay. I understand. Va bene. Capisco. You re from Florence. Lei è di Firenze. How do you say good afternoon in Italian? Buon pomeriggio. The woman is pleased to meet you: Piacere! How does the man reply? Piacere! Formulate the question: How are you? (Lei) come sta? Very well, thank you. Molto bene, grazie. Now the man wants to ask: Do you know where the hotel is? Listen to the Italian word for do you know? and repeat it: Sa? Lei sa? Sa? Say again: Do you know? Sa? Sa? 56

58 Sa? In this instance, it is once again sufficient simply to include the verb in the sentence without the word for you Lei Including Lei serves only to add greater emphasis. Ask once more: Do you know? Lei sa? Now ask: Where s the hotel? Dov è l albergo? Do you know where the hotel is? Lei sa dov è l albergo? I don t know. Listen and try to repeat: Non so. so so Non so. Say: I don t know. Non so. Now ask: Do you know? Sa? 57

59 Sa? Lei sa? Do you know where the hotel is? Sa dov è l albergo? Lei sa dov è l albergo? She replies: Yes, I know it. Sì, lo so lo so In this case, the English word it replaces the hotel. In Italian, the word lo is used. You can t simply say I know you have to say, literally, I know it. I know where it is. So dov è. Say: It s there. È lì. For this conversation, you need another important expression: Please. Listen to the Italian word for please and try to repeat it: Per favore favore favore Per Per 58

60 Per favore Say: Please Per favore It literally means through a favour. Repeat: Please Per favore For example, ask literally: Please, do you speak Italian? Per favore, Lei parla italiano? You ve just met the word know. In combination with per favore it means please could you tell me? This phrase is a loose translation, since it literally means please do you know? Listen again: Per favore, sa? Ask: Please could you tell me where it is? Per favore, sa dov è? Per favore, sa dov è? Please could you tell me where the hotel is? Per favore, sa dov è l albergo? Reply with: I don t know. 59

61 Non lo so. Please. Per favore. I don t understand very well. Non capisco molto bene. Can you remember how to say sorry? Scusi Well done! Ask again: You don t know? Non lo sa? Non lo sa? How will your conversational partner say no, I don t know? No, non lo so. non lo so You settle for her answer and say: Okay! Va bene! Va bene! Can you remember how to say but in Italian? ma Well done! Say: But I m not from here. Ma non sono di qui. 60

62 Ma non sono di qui. Do you come from Scotland? Lei viene dalla Scozia? This is how you say from Scotland in Italian: dalla Scozia Scozia dalla Scozia dalla Scozia Scozia Ask: Do you come from Scotland? Lei viene dalla Scozia? No, I come from England. No, vengo dall'inghilterra I m English. Sono inglese. Ah, I understand. You speak English, don t you? Ah, capisco. Parla inglese, o no? Exactly! Esatto! Introduce yourself and give your name: I am Mr. Smith. Say literally the Mr. Smith Sono il signor Smith 61

63 Can you remember how a woman says pleased to meet you? Piacere Say: Please Per favore Do you have time? Listen to the following sentence and try to repeat it: Ha tempo? tempo tempo ha ha Lei ha Lei ha tempo? How do you ask Do you have? Ha? Lei ha? The woman replies: Yes, I have. Listen and repeat. Sì, ce l ho Notice that here, the word lo has again been shortened and combined with the verb ho. The word ce, which supplants a word for a place, has also been put in front. Literally, the 62

64 sentence means: I have it here Ce l ho Ho Ce l ho Repeat the phrase: I have io ho io ho How do you say I have time? io ho tempo io ho tempo Now ask: Do you have time? Lei ha tempo? Lei ha tempo? She replies: Yes, I have time. Sì, ho tempo. How do you say I don t have time? Non ho tempo Now try to ask: Where s the hotel? Dov è l albergo? And the restaurant? Dov è il ristorante? 63

65 Do you know? Lo sa? Lei lo sa? No, I don t know. Non lo so. Do you have time? Lei ha tempo? Lei ha tempo? A little. Un po. I have a minute. Listen, and try to imitate the pronunciation of a minute : Ho un minuto minuto minuto Un Un un minuto un minuto Ho un minuto Repeat: I have a minute. Ho un minuto. How do you say minute in Italian? minuto 64

66 minuto Say: a un Un Do you think that minuto is masculine or feminine? il minuto Let s go back to the conversation. Ask: Do you speak English? Parla inglese? Say: Yes, I speak English and Italian. Ma io parlo inglese e italiano. Okay! I understand a little Italian. Va bene! Capisco un po di italiano. Here, a preposition has to be inserted before the word italiano. Literally, this sentence means: I understand a little of Italian. But not very well. Ma non molto bene. Can you remember how to say time? Tempo 65

67 Say: I have time. Ho tempo. I have a minute. Ho un minuto. Listen and try to repeat: un minuto un minuto I have a minute. Ho un minuto. Do you have a minute? Ha un minuto? How do you say the Via Savoia hotel in Italian? L albergo Via Savoia Do you know where it is? Sa dov è? Sa dov è? I don t know where it is. Non so dov è Say: I m not from here. Non sono di qui. Non sono di qui. Where are you from? Di dov è, Lei? I m from Palermo. Listen and repeat: 66

68 Sono di Palermo Palermo Palermo Sono di Palermo Okay. Perfect. Va bene. Perfetto. How do you say please? Per favore Per favore Do you speak Italian, please? Per favore, Lei parla italiano? Yes, I speak it very well. The Italian doesn t include a word for it : Sì, parlo molto bene. Thank you. Grazie. Reply with you re welcome. Di niente. Part ways by saying: See you soon! A presto! Now imagine that it s about 2pm, and you meet Ms. Bianco, whom you know. How do you greet her? 67

69 Buon pomeriggio, signora Bianco She returns your greeting: Buon pomeriggio, signore. However, she doesn t seem to remember you. Give your name: Sono il signor Müller. She replies: Pleased to meet you. Piacere. Piacere signore. Are you from here? Lei è di qui? È di qui? Tell her that you aren t from here: Non sono di qui. Non sono di qui. and that you re English: Sono inglese. And you? How about you? E Lei? Are you from Palermo? Lei è di Palermo? No, I m from Florence. No, sono di Firenze. 68

70 Okay. I understand. Va bene. Capisco. When you want to add an adverb like well to a phrase like you speak Italian, you also have to use the definite article. Listen and repeat: Parla bene l italiano Whereas: Parla italiano You speak very well. Lei parla molto bene. What does she say in response? Grazie, signora Bianco. You re welcome. Di niente. Make an objection: But I don t speak very well. Ma non parlo molto bene. And I don t understand well. E non capisco bene. E non capisco bene. Can you remember how to say please, Ms. Bianco? Per favore, signora Bianco 69

71 Do you know where the restaurant L antipasto is? Lei sa dov è il ristorante L antipasto? Lei sa dov è il ristorante L antipasto? The restaurant L antipasto? Yes! Il ristorante L antipasto? Sì! It s there. È lì. È lì. You don t understand, and ask again: Where? Dove? Now Ms. Bianco points in the direction and says: Look! Guardi! Guardi! It s there. È lì. Guardi! È lì Okay! Va bene! You reflect that Ms. Bianco could accompany you to the restaurant, and ask whether she has time: 70

72 Ha tempo? Ha tempo? Ms. Bianco replies with: No, I don t have time. No, non ho tempo. non ho tempo Ah, I understand. Ah, capisco. You part by saying: See you soon, Ms. Bianco! A presto, signora Bianco! She looks at the time and says: Well, I have time. Bene, ho tempo. I have a minute. Ho un minuto. Say: Okay. Very good! Va bene. Molto bene! Notice that molto bene can mean both very well and very good. Now ask whether she knows where the restaurant is: Lei sa dov è il ristorante, o no? Lei sa dov è il ristorante, o no? Yes, I know where it is. 71

73 Sì, io so dov è. Sì, io so dov è. Very good! Molto bene! Well done! That s the end of Lesson 5. You ve done very well! Today you learnt two important new verbs: know and have.
