Hi, welcome to Claudia's Conversation Classes. A quick intro about this podcast. My aim is to help you speak the language. Conversing is what keeps the language alive and we oftentimes forget that.

If you missed it, just rewind. Are you ready to talk Italian with me? Okay, let's get started. Spe ...
