Are you frustrated by the number of times you’ve tried to learn Italian with big heavy grammar books and piles of CDs? Wouldn’t it be nice to learn Italian and have fun at the same time? Imagine telling some great Italian jokes to your Italian-speaking friends. They’ll be so impressed.  Great jokes like:

Ragazzo: Mi ami?
Ragazza: Certo che ti amo.
Ragazzo: Per quanto tempo mi amerai?
Ragazza: Ti amerò sempre.

Con cautela.

I have recently recorded two Italians, one man and one woman, reading the jokes alternately. If you’re lucky enough to have an iPad, iPhone or Mac computer, then you can download the audio version of Learn Italian with Jokes.

Joke about three Scottish men

Tre Scozzesi erano seduti in un bar insieme.
“Quando morirò”, disse lo scozzese più anziano, “Vorrei che uno di voi versasse una bottiglia del miglior whisky scozzese sulla mia tomba”.
“Lo faremo per te”, disse uno degli uomini più giovani. “Ma ti dispiacebbe se prima lo facessimo passare attraverso i nostri reni?”

Quando morirò – When I die
versare – to pour
tomba – grave
reni – kidneys

And now for Antonio:

Jokes about smoking and drinking

“Ho letto tanti libri sul fumo e sul bere che ho deciso di smettere.”
“Di fumare o di bere?”
“Di leggere.”

fumare – to smoke
smettere – to give up

When you’re trying to improve your skills in a foreign language, reading is one of the best ways – and reading jokes is probably the best of all. The best way to use this book is to treat it like a swimming pool on a warm day. Dip in now and again and it is a very pleasant experience. If you stay in too long you won’t enjoy it as much.
