Ciao! Siamo Gabriele e Angelique e ben tornati nel nostro podcast, the Italian Escape.

We are passionate language learners, and we record for you the language learning podcast we’d like to play when we learn new languages

Our podcast in mixed English and simple Italian helps beginners and intermediate Italian language learners enjoy engaging content about Italy, its language, and its culture from day 0 of their language learning journey.

For season 2, we’d like to kick off with a topic that’s being debated within Italy: how do we address our newly elected prime minister Giorgia Meloni?

Recently, journalists and intellectuals criticized Giorgia Meloni’s decision to be called, “IL” Presidente del Consiglio (in case you did not know, this is another way of saying prime minister in Italian).

According to Italian grammar, she should be called, “la presidente”, and yet, she insists on being called “il presidente”. Many speculate the motive for this decision to be political, yet some thought it to be a move related to gender equality.

Because of the latest headline, we thought of unearthing an interview we had with Alice de Ferrari.

Alice works as a project manager for numerous innovative European projects. She is also a proud mother of two kids and a minimalist, and a feminist. Last year, she took a master’s degree in Gender Equality and Diversity Management provided by Fondazione Brodolini and was happy to share with us her insights on gender inequality here in Italy.

In this episode, we will first give you a short summary of what we discussed with Alice about the said topic, followed by a clip of our interview. Please note that our original interview was done earlier this year.

Imagine trying to grasp the rhythm of a new language while also understanding the soul of the place it comes from. The Italian Escape: A bilingual English-Italian language podcast is built on that very idea. This isn't a formal lesson; it's a relaxed, bilingual conversation between a local Italian and a foreigner who's been there. You'll hear English and straightforward Italian woven together as they discuss everyday life in Italy, the nuances of its culture, the stories from its history, and the character of its people. The approach is designed to take the pressure off, making the journey accessible and genuinely enjoyable for anyone from a curious beginner to an intermediate learner. By listening to this podcast, you absorb the language in context, picking up vocabulary and phrases naturally through real topics and genuine dialogue. It’s about finding the joy in connection, turning what can feel like a daunting task into a small, regular escape to Italy. The conversations are the core-warm, informative, and paced for learning. For those who want to dive deeper, extended support like vocabulary guides is available through their Patreon community, but the main podcast stands on its own as a welcoming gateway. Tune in and let the language unfold around you.
