Final Italian listening exercise in our A2 series

Monday again and here’s another free Italian listening comprehension exercise!

This is the last in our A2 series.

What will be next?

Haven’t decided. The options are B1 (intermediate) or C2 (proficiency). Both series are ready to publish… If you’d like to help me decide which should come next, leave a comment on this article with your preference…

Still in the recording studio we have a new series of short biographies of people who have streets named after them (Italian scientists, historical figures, and so on), written by the younger of my teenage daughters in return for some cash to spend on holiday.

Plus a really interesting, and really long, series of articles which each focus on one particular grammatical area – there are about 40 of them, so I’m holding that back for the autumn and winter when the youngsters are back from their holidays.

But anyway, here’s today’s A2 exercise… As usual, I’ll remind you that if you don’t see the image with the task in it, or the audio plugin, which should appear below it, to click this link to view the article on our website.

The transcript will be included in the next article, probably on Wednesday.

Transcript from the previous exercise

Here’s the transcript for exercise 4 in the current series. You can find it here if you’d like to listen again while reading the transcript.

Clara si è appena trasferita a Milano per trovare lavoro. Viene da un piccolo paesino della provincia di Como dove ha vissuto fino al diploma.
Dopo il diploma Clara è andata a studiare economia all’università di Perugia. Il paesino da cui viene è molto piccolo e non c’è molto lavoro, per questo ha deciso di trasferirsi a Milano e cercare un lavoro come contabile.
Per prima cosa Clara ha cercato un appartamento economico dove vivere.
Poi ha scritto il suo curriculum e l’ha inviato a molte aziende della città.
Dopo qualche settimana un’azienda l’ha chiamata per fare un colloquio di lavoro.
Il colloquio è andato bene e finalmente Clara ha trovato un lavoro presso un’azienda che si occupa di turismo.
Clara è molto felice di aver trovato un lavoro che le piace.

P.S.

Thursday we’re opening a new online conversation group for up to 5 participants. It’s at 8 a.m. (Italian time), which makes it a good time for anyone in Australia or other ‘ahead’ time zone, but terrible for anyone in the US.

The cost for five 1-hour conversation lessons is €49.99. You need a conversational level in Italian of at least beginning A2.

There are four places left. First come, first served. Go here to sign up for this class.

View all our online Italian conversation groups. We’ll open groups at more convenient days/times with a minimum of one or two students. Just e-mail if you’re interested.
