Romance in Italy: your iPod can help!
Picture this scenario: Jennifer is a pretty American woman traveling solo in Italy. She stops at a nice restaurant in Florence for dinner, and is promptly approached by Mario, an Italian man who doesn’t speak a word of English. Despite Mario’s various attempts to communicate, it’s clear that Jennifer is not interested in him.
With class, she takes out her iPod, and after a few wheel clicks, she shows Mario one of the iTalian iCards.
Mario is disappointed, but with a gentleman’s smile, he goes back to his table.
After an hour, Giuseppe comes to the same restaurant. He is Mario’s friend, just much nicer looking, yet not much English skills.
Giuseppe sees Jennifer alone at her table and approaches her for a drink.
This time Jennifer takes her iPod, and picks a different iTalian iCard.
Success!

Ciao,
I like your icards very much but it will be better if there is audio so that I can say out the words as well?
You are doing great job with the ipod videos, i.e. mp4. Would appreciate if you can teach more italiano. Grazie.
