5. An Unexpected Encounter (Upper Intermediate)
December 14th, 2008
Here’s what our VIP Subscriber Amanda has to say about this new Upper Intermediate Level Series: “I just love this new series. That’s exactly what I needed. I can understand most of the Italian spoken on the series, and it is challenging enough to drive me on and keep me digging deeper into this marvelous language. For a while, I felt like my learning was stuck. Now it’s all back, and I’m improving everyday… it’s a beautiful sensation. Grazie mille!” - “Prego, Amanda, il piacere e’ tutto nostro!” - So, what is our friend Italo up to this time? As he’s walking to his business meeting, all of a sudden a female voice calls his name… Who is this woman? A business associate, an old friend, maybe an old flame?
