Ciao! Siamo Gabriele e Angelique. Benvenuti nel nostro podcast!

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

Marketing in Europe can be challenging because of its multicultural environment.

Rather than seeing it as an obstacle, one can turn it into an opportunity.

This is what you will discover today through our conversation with Marta Romão.

---

For a Portuguese, Marta had a unique childhood. Having been born in Lisbon in the 90s, she lived in Belgium with her family until she was six.

This experience opened her world.

Instead of pursuing an average Portuguese lifestyle, she ventured out of her home country by working as a multilingual marketing professional in Spain, and in Italy.

In this episode, we chatted with Marta about her life, her experience in the Italian marketing scene, and working with Italian tech start-ups in Rome.

This episode will conclude our second season of the Italian Escape Podcast. We will take a break and launch our third season after the summer.

It all started 6 years ago.

Having been a maritime lawyer for years, Enrica pivoted into her career by becoming a food storyteller.

She recounts her personal journey – both in English and in Italian - through the culinary tradition and flavors of Liguria with her food blog, “A Small Kitchen in Genoa”.

If she’s not writing recipes and stories in her blog, she is offering private Ligurian cooking classes and food tours around Genoa.

This month, she is releasing her new cookbook, “Liguria in Cucina – the flavors of Liguria”. It’s a recipe book that’s written both in English and in Italian – perfect for our listeners who want to replicate Ligurian dishes while learning languages!

---

In this episode, we listen to the many stories behind some of Enrica’s favorite Ligurian dishes, and the particularities behind documenting food traditions across the region.

If you liked our conversation, check out the link in the show notes to order her latest cookbook.

How do you learn Italian with a language co-pilot?

Language learning can be daunting, especially if you seek perfection.

In today’s episode, we look at another way of learning Italian with the help of a language co-pilot.

That’s where Andre comes in.

Born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico, her love for music and singing led her to unknowingly teach herself English at the age of six and sparked her curiosity for other languages.

When she turned 18, she decided to do her first solo trip to Florence. Little did she expect that this will change her life in a massive way. Since then, she has met countless frustrated students who feel like they have no talent for learning languages.

Because of this, she created an easy, fun, and empowering method called, co-piloting.

Listen NOW to our conversation and learn about Mo Parlo and what it means to be a language co-pilot.

Welcome to the Italian Escape Podcast!

Today, before we start the podcast, we’d like to make a small announcement.

Roughly one year ago, we launched the Italian Escape Podcast to provide more resources for beginners and intermediate Italian language learners and give you confidence in learning the language.

At first many thought that this was a crazy idea and that it would be impossible to maintain it.

And yet here we are one year later, with hundreds of listeners tuning in to our episodes.

So, THANK YOU dear listeners for following us in this bilingual journey.

Now we need your help. 

If you think that our podcast has helped you in any way please grab your phone now and send us a message.

Is a native Italian the best choice for a teacher? Maybe not.
