Episode 16: Likes and Dislikes – On the red carpet

Filed under: Podcasts — @ 1:14 pm

In Episode 16 of Radio Arlecchino, On the red carpet, we will learn about the verb piacere and how to express likes and dislikes. To an English speaker, the piacere construction is often confusing, for the subject in Italian is the person or thing that is pleasing, while the person who likes it is the indirect object!

Eric and Antonella are in Venice for the premiere of Arlecchino’s exciting new film. Will our friend turn out to be the next great wizard of the cinema? Let’s listen …

  1. At last! I am so pleased you are doing more and this one looks like a cracker. Your podcasts are on my Ipod and have revolutionised my daily dog walk. How many will be in the series and please don’t leave it so long next time!

  2. Buongiorno, Stuart.
    We will do our best to have the next episode ready soon. We should have a few more (3 or 4) before
    Radio Arlecchino goes on its long vacation.
    I hope you will continue enjoying the “show” while walking your dog.
    Un saluto a te e una carezza al tuo cane.
    Antonella

  3. Ciao a tutti a Radio Arlecchino! Quanto mi piacciono i vostri podcast! Sono molto contenta che siate ritornati. Sembra che vi divertiate molto fare ogni puntata. Siete molto creativi. Se fossi una studentessa ancora, vorrei studiare all’universita’ di Texas con Antonella e Eric. Recentemente ho scoperto i vostri podcast cercando l’internet per nuovi modi per perfezzionare la lingua. Ora, in oltre a una passione per la lingua italiana, ho un nuovo interesse per la comedia del’arte e le maschere degli spettacoli. Non vedo l’ora per il prossimo podcast. Ottimo lavoro. Grazie ancora!

  4. Ciao, Melissa!
    Si’, in effetti ci divertiamo parecchio in studio; lavoriamo con un’ottima team. Magari ci fosse piu’ tempo da dedicare a Radio Arlecchino! Cerchiamo di goderci ogni minuto… E niente ci da’ piu’ soddisfazione che sentire i commenti positivi dei nostri ascoltatori e sapere d’aver ispirato nuovi interessi nell’ambito della cultura italiana oltre che in quello della lingua. Grazie mille!
    A risentirci presto,
    Antonella
