Sixth Italian A1 listening exercise (with transcript)

April 3, 2014 by Daniel

We’re getting excellent feedback from this series of Italian listening material.

Thanks to everyone who has left a comment or otherwise told us how useful you’re finding the practice exercises.

Below you’ll find number 6 in the series of 8 Italian listening exercises at A1 level.

As always, I’ll remind you to listen to the whole thing at least once (ideally, repeatedly) before turning to the transcript, which you’ll find at the bottom of this page.

6.LAVORI E MESTIERI Carlo e Grazia

Carlo lavora come pasticcere a Genova. Sua moglie Grazia lavora come commessa in una gioielleria.

Nella pasticceria di Carlo lavorano molte persone: c’è Franco il barista e Paolo il cameriere. Infine c’è Valentina che fa le pulizie.

La mattina Grazia va a fare la spesa prima di andare a lavorare. Va prima dal salumiere, poi va dal fornaio e infine va dal fruttivendolo.

Una volta a settimana Grazia va dal parrucchiere e dall’estetista.

Carlo e Grazia amano uscire con gli amici. Hanno molti amici, tra cui Luca e Flavia.

Luca è un musicista, suona il pianoforte e la chitarra. Flavia invece è una cuoca.

Luca e Flavia hanno due figli.

Il figlio maggiore, Luca, fa il postino. Consegna la posta in città. Il figlio minore, Adriano fa l’avvocato.

Spesso vanno tutti insieme in un ristorante giapponese e sono amici del cuoco. Il cuoco si chiama Kato ed è giapponese. La moglie di Kato si chiama Kyoko e lavora all’università come professoressa di giapponese. Hanno una figlia, Sonoko , che ogni tanto aiuta il padre nel ristorante. Sonoko però lavora come dentista in uno studio medico.

Tutti sono sempre molto impegnati con il loro lavoro.

    Ciao, these are coming thick and fast and really testing me. I’m still trying to work through the relatives exercise.
    quality of recording is great shame it doesn’t play on my smart phone as it would give more chances to listen read and learn

      Thanks for the feedback, John. I’m happy you find the material useful.

      The audio may or may not work on your smart phone, depending on the operating system you have (iphone, android, windows) and whether or not you have a specific ‘app’ installed.

      We’ll see what we can do about this in the future!

    Daniel, I just found your website — it’s great. Your method of presenting the material is very effective. I, too, tried to download onto my “walkman” so I could listen more frequently but was unsuccessful. Che peccato! Looking forward to making progress via more articles. Thanks for material.
    Ken

      Hi Ken,
      Welcome to the site. Glad you like the materials!
      At the moment the listening material is ‘listening online only’, as with (for example) a Youtube video.
      Still, you can listen online whenever you want, and it’s free!
      A presto,
      Daniel
