Answer Question
Podcast Help, level 1, podcast 10
I’m finding it really hard to understand certain words in level 1, podcast 10. I’m using a Macbook Pro connected to a high quality iPod speaker made by Logitech. At about 7:00 minutes in; after many, many listenings; I think I’ve deciphered what Luca says by eliminating some ending vowels. Is this right—“Qui a sinistra, vicin’ a quell’ entrata là.”—”Here to the left, close to that entrance there”? (this line is repeated at 8:10)
Then, at about 7:29 (repeated at 8:27) I think I’m hearing, “Questa __ via, dodici sono____”, the missing words don’t sound like anything we’ve learned in Level 1. Sonia says they’re using a different word for hotel. My Italian-English dictionary gives the word “albergo”. Luca might be saying the plural “albergi”. Can someone clue me in?
