Lezione 4 and Answers with Ignazio!

Buongiorno, clase!

Gianluca is sorry for making the last lesson so hard – he thought it was pretty easy!  You did not like the word search?  And no one guessed the secret phrase?  Ok, answers to the word search are below:
For your second extra credit, I have also hidden a word or two from the titles of the songs from the Sanremo CD. See if you can find the 7 extra words. For your third extra credit, the remaining letters that are not used in the word search, spell out a phrase. See if you can guess it.   Happy Hunting!

Ignazio Piero Gianluca Win Eurovision!    Did no one get this??

HOMEWORK:  I hope you at least enjoyed Houseboat!  With our lovely Sophia…

Ok, let’s take a little coffee break!  There is a little Italian caffè down the street, let’s stop in for a cappuccino and some biscotti…

I would like a vente ounce cappuccino and a chocolate biscotti, please.

Vorrei un cappuccino vente oncia e biscotti al cioccolato, per favore.

Ignazio will have a grande espresso with cream and a cannoli, please.

Ignazio avrà un espresso grande con panna e un cannoli , per favore.
You will notice that the words in color, are both the same in English as in Italiano!?
See, you have been speaking Italian and didn’t even know it!  Many caffè houses, like Starbucks, have these words in their menus and I’m sure no one even thought twice about it!  Here are some more Italian/American words that you will find in your local or little Italian caffè house!
  • caffè (espresso)—a small cup of very strong coffee, i.e., espresso
  • caffè Americano—American-style coffee, but stronger; weaker than espresso and served in a large cup
  • caffè corretto—coffee “corrected” with a shot of grappa, cognac, or other spirit
  • caffè doppio—double espresso
  • caffè freddo—iced coffee  (remember when Piero and Ignazio said they were freddo in Russia?)
  • caffè Hag—decaffeinated coffee (ironically, this is the same in German!)
  • caffè latte—hot milk mixed with coffee and served in a glass for breakfast
  • caffè macchiato—espresso “stained” with a drop of steamed milk: small version of a cappuccino
  • caffè marocchino—espresso with a dash of hot milk and cacao powder
  • caffè stretto—espresso with less water; rocket fuel!
  • cappuccino—espresso infused with steamed milk and drunk in the morning, but never after lunch or dinner
  • granita di caffè con panna—frozen, iced beverage (similar to a slush, but ice shavings make it authentic) and topped with whipped cream

Also, to help you a little more with your pronunciations and a few extra phrases, (since we cannot be there in person to help you!), I have found a few YouTube videos.  There are literally thousands out there, but I thought these were good.  The one girl sounds a lot like a female Piero, they must be from the same area of Italy!
