Speak to Me (Italian)

Hi, welcome to Claudia's Conversation Classes. A quick intro about this podcast. My aim is to help you speak the language. Conversing is what keeps the language alive and we oftentimes forget that. Learning to speak the language should be simple and fun, so these episodes will be short and straight to the point. All you have to do is pay attention to what I say and answer what I ask. It's easy. If you missed it, just rewind. Are you ready to talk Italian with me? Okay, let's get started. Speak to me. Parla con me.
