Con parole nostre

Con parole nostre - Italian conversationsallaboutitalian.com
A podcast for Italian learners who love chatting over drinks with their friends. We're Elfin, Silvia and Barbara. We meet up twice a month to talk about practically anything under the sun. We live very far apart, Elfin in Cremona, Barbara in England and Silvia in Tuscany but we don't let that stop us from chatting and staying connected. Get to know Italy through the words of three very different perspectives. You'll get real life expressions, laughter, passions and pet peeves. Maybe you can't make it to Italy anytime soon but you can join us for a chiacchierata. Close your eyes and pretend you're having an aperitivo with us in our favorite piazza. Join us and take part in an authentic Italian conversation. If you want to catch every word and make the most out of our chats, grab the transcription bundles https://www.conparolenostre.com/product/transcripts-1-30/ Sign up to our newsletter to receive updates at www.conparolenostre.com
