1. 0:00What are you up to tonight?
2. 0:03I don't have anything planned. You?
3. 0:06I'm going to the movies. Are you free?
4. 0:10Yes, but I don't really feel like going out.
5. 0:14Are you tired?
6. 0:17Very. I'm staying home on the couch!
7. 0:21And what are you up to?
8. 0:24I'll cook something and watch a TV show.
9. 0:28So boring! Going to bed early?
10. 0:32Yes, I'm really sleepy.
11. 0:35I see. So I'll go out with just Anna, then.
12. 0:40What movie are you seeing?
13. 0:42A really funny comedy.
14. 0:46Good idea. Have fun!
15. 0:49Thanks! And are you busy tomorrow night?
16. 0:54Tomorrow I have a work dinner.
17. 0:57Then we'll see each other the day after?
18. 1:01Perfect. Have a good evening!
19. 1:04What are you up to this weekend?
20. 1:07No plans yet. You?
21. 1:10We're going to the mountains!
22. 1:12How wonderful! For two days?
23. 1:15Yes, we're leaving early Saturday morning.
24. 1:18And Sunday what are you doing?
25. 1:21It really depends on the weather.
26. 1:23If it's sunny?
27. 1:25If it's sunny, we'll go to the lake.
28. 1:28And if it rains instead?
29. 1:30If it rains, we'll come back to the city and visit a museum.
30. 1:34That's a great idea!
31. 1:36Do you want to come with us?
32. 1:39Really? I'd love to!
33. 1:44Saturday we're having lunch at an agriturismo with other friends.
34. 1:48Mmm, I'm hungry already!
35. 1:51After that we're taking a long walk through the woods.
36. 1:55Then I'd love to come!
37. 1:57Perfect, I'll send you all the details tonight.
38. 2:01Alright. Fingers crossed for good weather!
39. 2:06Hello? Where are you?
40. 2:09Hi! I'm just about to leave the house.
41. 2:14But I'm already in front of the restaurant!
42. 2:17Come on, wait for me, I'll be there really soon.
43. 2:20How long will you be? I'm starving!
44. 2:24I'll be there in ten minutes tops.
45. 2:27Alright, but hurry up!
46. 2:30Look, I was about to call you, I swear!
47. 2:33Yeah, sure… that's what you always say!
48. 2:37I'm almost ready, I'll grab my keys and head down.
49. 2:41Meanwhile I'll ask the waiter for a table.
50. 2:44Perfect. Order me an aperitivo too!
51. 2:48Alright. Did you eat at lunch?
52. 2:51No, I'm starving!
53. 2:54Me too. I'll get some chips as well.
54. 2:58Great idea. I'm on my way!
55. 3:01I'll wait inside. See you soon!
56. 3:06Good morning, I'm calling about my appointment.
57. 3:10Good morning. Could you tell me your name, please?
58. 3:14I'm Marco Rossi. I have an appointment on Tuesday.
59. 3:19Let me see… Next Tuesday at ten in the morning?
60. 3:25Yes, that's right.
61. 3:27Are you calling to confirm the appointment?
62. 3:30Actually I need to reschedule.
63. 3:34No problem. When would you prefer to come?
64. 3:38Tuesday really doesn't work. Do you have any openings the following week?
65. 3:44Let me check right away. Would Wednesday at eleven work?
66. 3:49Perfect, Wednesday is great.
67. 3:53I'll move the appointment right now.
68. 3:57Thank you so much.
69. 3:59I'm canceling Tuesday's for good, right?
70. 4:04Yes, please go ahead and cancel it.
71. 4:07Done. I'll send you a confirmation email.
72. 4:12Thanks so much, you've been very kind.
73. 4:16See you Wednesday, then. Have a good day!
74. 4:21Hi! Shall we meet up tomorrow afternoon?
75. 4:26Hi! Gladly. What time works for you?
76. 4:30How about around three?
77. 4:33Perfect. Want to grab a coffee together?
78. 4:37Great idea! Where shall we meet?
79. 4:40Let's meet in front of the big café in the piazza.
80. 4:44Sounds good. And then dinner in the evening?
81. 4:49Sorry, I really can't in the evening.
82. 4:52Too bad! Do you have something on?
83. 4:56Yes, I have a boring work dinner.
84. 5:00Ugh! Next time, then.
85. 5:05Maybe we can plan something fun for the weekend!
86. 5:09Yes, let's go dancing!
87. 5:12Shall we talk Friday to firm things up?
88. 5:16Sure, you get in touch.
89. 5:19Don't worry, I'll text you Friday morning.
90. 5:23See you tomorrow at three, then. Don't be late!
91. 5:27I'll be right on time, promise!
92. 5:32Good morning, sir. Do you have a minute?
93. 5:35Good morning, Giulia. Of course, go ahead.
94. 5:39I wanted to let you know I won't be in the office tomorrow.
95. 5:43Oh, I see. Is there a problem?
96. 5:47Nothing serious, I have a doctor's appointment very early.
97. 5:52Ah, alright. Will you work from home in the afternoon?
98. 5:57Yes, I'll log on as soon as I get back.
99. 6:01Perfect. And what about the morning hours?
100. 6:04I'll make up the missed hours Thursday and Friday.
101. 6:08No problem, don't worry about it.
102. 6:11Should I send you an email as a reminder?
103. 6:15Yes, thanks, put it all in writing.
104. 6:19Of course, I'll do it now.
105. 6:21So you'll be back in the office Thursday morning?
106. 6:25That's right. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
107. 6:29Don't mention it, your health is what matters most.
108. 6:34Thank you. Have a good day!
109. 6:38So, where are you going on vacation this summer?
110. 6:43This year I'm going to Greece!
111. 6:45Lucky you! I'm so jealous!
112. 6:48I leave July fifteenth. I can't wait!
113. 6:52I bet! How long are you away?
114. 6:56For two whole weeks.
115. 6:59Traveling on your own?
116. 7:01No, I'm going with two old friends of mine.
117. 7:04Have you already booked everything?
118. 7:07Yes, we found a beautiful apartment right by the sea.
119. 7:12And how are you getting there? By plane?
120. 7:16First we take the flight, then a small ferry.
121. 7:21Sounds like a fantastic trip.
122. 7:24It will be! And what are you up to?
123. 7:28I'm going to the mountains in August.
124. 7:31No beach this year?
125. 7:34No, I hate the heat. I prefer cool weather.
126. 7:38Have you already booked a hotel?
127. 7:41No, I still have to look!
128. 7:44Hurry up, August is peak season!
129. 7:48You're right, tonight I'll check online right away.
130. 7:54Have you already planned your Rome trip?
131. 7:57More or less. I have tons of ideas!
132. 8:01Come on, tell me! What do you want to do?
133. 8:04First of all, I want to visit the Vatican Museums.
134. 8:08But do you just want to see museums the whole time?
135. 8:12No! I also want to just walk around and relax a lot.
136. 8:17Good idea. And in the evening?
137. 8:20In the evening I want to try all the local food!
138. 8:24Ah, you eat really well in Rome.
139. 8:27I've already booked a table at a traditional trattoria.
140. 8:32Are you doing any day trips outside the city?
141. 8:35Yes, I want to take a trip to the Castelli Romani.
142. 8:40Are you renting a car?
143. 8:42No, I'm renting an electric bike. It's more eco-friendly!
144. 8:47Very smart and fun.
145. 8:51And I'll take a million photos!
146. 8:54Send them all to me on WhatsApp!
147. 8:56Of course. Do you want me to do some shopping for you?
148. 9:01Oh yes, I'm expecting a nice souvenir!
149. 9:05Will do. I can't wait to leave!
150. 9:10Hi! Have you decided what you're doing this summer?
151. 9:15Not yet, I really can't make up my mind.
152. 9:18Do you have any ideas at least?
153. 9:21Maybe Sardinia, but nothing's set.
154. 9:25Sardinia? It's a stunning island!
155. 9:29I know, but it really depends on work… and money!
156. 9:34Yeah, I get it, sometimes it costs a lot.
157. 9:38You've been there, right?
158. 9:41Yes, two years ago. An unforgettable vacation.
159. 9:46What would you recommend I absolutely see?
160. 9:50I'd recommend going south. The beaches are magical.
161. 9:55What a dream! I'd love that.
162. 9:58Actually, I might want to come with you!
163. 10:02Come on, seriously? Then come!
164. 10:06I wish! I need to check how much vacation time I have.
165. 10:11As soon as I know the exact dates, I'll let you know.
166. 10:14Perfect. Let's think it over.
167. 10:17If we find a cheap flight, let's book!
168. 10:21Sounds great. Let me know soon!
169. 10:26You know what? I've made a big decision!
170. 10:30Really? I'm curious, tell me!
171. 10:34I want to learn to play electric guitar!
172. 10:37Wow, congrats! That's fantastic.
173. 10:42Yes, it's been my dream since I was a kid.
174. 10:46Are you planning to take private lessons?
175. 10:50Yes, I'm signing up for a course near my house.
176. 10:54When exactly do you start?
177. 10:57The first day of next month.
178. 11:00Do you think it'll be hard?
179. 11:03Definitely, but I want to try no matter what.
180. 11:08Good for you. I really admire you.
181. 11:12And you? Do you want to learn something new?
182. 11:16I'm thinking of seriously studying French.
183. 11:20How chic! Why French, of all things?
184. 11:25I have a big project in mind: I'd love to work in Paris.
185. 11:30Paris? Then you really do need the language!
186. 11:35I know. I have to practice a lot every day.
187. 11:40One day you'll speak it beautifully, I'm sure.
188. 11:45Fingers crossed! It just takes a lot of patience.
189. 11:49Come on, don't give up! I'll play in France and you'll sing!
190. 11:56Hi! Sit down, I have huge news.
191. 12:01Oh my, you're making me nervous! Tell me everything.
192. 12:05Next year I'm moving to Milan!
193. 12:08What?! To Milan? That's wonderful!
194. 12:12Yes, I decided last night.
195. 12:15But why do you want to change cities? Are you unhappy here?
196. 12:19No, no! I'm just looking for a better job and new opportunities.
197. 12:25Have you found an apartment?
198. 12:28I wish! I still have to start house-hunting.
199. 12:32It'll be a huge change for you.
200. 12:35I know. I'm a bit scared, but really excited.
201. 12:40It's normal to be scared, it's a big adventure.
202. 12:44I have to organize the move, the paperwork… everything!
203. 12:49But you'll meet lots of new, interesting people.
204. 12:54Yes, that part I love. But I'll miss my friends.
205. 13:00We'll miss you tons too!
206. 13:03Will you come visit for weekends?
207. 13:06Of course we will! We'll all sleep on your couch!
208. 13:10Ha, well then I feel better. I'll be waiting for you!
209. 13:16I've had it. I want to change jobs as soon as possible.
210. 13:21How come? Aren't you happy at the office?
211. 13:25The atmosphere is boring. I want something more stimulating.
212. 13:30Have you already started looking for something else?
213. 13:34Yes, I've updated and sent out my résumé.
214. 13:38To lots of companies?
215. 13:40To several important agencies in the city.
216. 13:44And has anyone gotten back to you?
217. 13:47Yes! I have an interview next week.
218. 13:51That's fantastic! Good luck!
219. 13:55Thanks! I hope to find a place where I can build a career.
220. 14:01Good for you. Are you thinking of taking a training course too?
221. 14:06Yes, I'm planning to study business English.
222. 14:10Well done, that's always useful. And I… I have a plan.
223. 14:17Do tell! What are your plans?
224. 14:21I'd really like to work abroad for a few years.
225. 14:25Interesting! Which country?
226. 14:29I'm looking at some opportunities in Germany, in Berlin.
227. 14:34You're very ambitious!
228. 14:37But first I have to finish university, obviously.
229. 14:42When exactly do you graduate?
230. 14:45July of next year. I'll have so many possibilities!
231. 14:50Come on, not long to go! Hang in there!
232. 14:55Did you happen to see the weather forecast for tomorrow?
233. 14:59Yes, I checked the app a little while ago. Bad news.
234. 15:04Oh no. Will it rain all day?
235. 15:07In the morning it'll be cloudy, but in the afternoon it'll definitely rain.
236. 15:13What bad luck! But will it at least be warm?
237. 15:17Not a chance! Temperatures are dropping, it'll be quite cold.
238. 15:21Will there be wind too?
239. 15:24Yes, strong north wind.
240. 15:27So much for our mountain trip, then.
241. 15:31Yeah… snow is even forecast up in the mountains!
242. 15:35What a shame, I'd already packed my backpack.
243. 15:39Come on, maybe the sun will come back Sunday morning.
244. 15:43I really hope so.
245. 15:45In any case, if you go out tomorrow, remember your umbrella.
246. 15:50Sure. Even though the sky is blue right now.
247. 15:54Don't trust it! The storm will be here soon.
248. 15:58Then this weekend I'll stay home where it's warm.
249. 16:02That's the smartest and coziest choice!
250. 16:06I'll text you tomorrow with weather updates!
251. 16:10Tonight is the big final! Are you watching the game?
252. 16:15Obviously! I've already bought beer and chips. Can't wait.
253. 16:20Who do you think will win the cup?
254. 16:24No doubt in my mind, I think Italy will win.
255. 16:28Are you that sure? The other team is strong.
256. 16:32I'm absolutely certain, we have a fantastic team this year.
257. 16:38Hmm, I'm really not so sure.
258. 16:43Why are you so pessimistic?
259. 16:46Because it's going to be a really tough, tight game.
260. 16:51They might tie early on, but then we win.
261. 16:56I also think there'll be a long stretch tied up.
262. 17:00But I bet we'll score a great goal at the end!
263. 17:04Who knows! In soccer anything is possible.
264. 17:09Get ready to celebrate, you'll see.
265. 17:13And what if Italy loses?
266. 17:16Impossible! They'll never lose!
267. 17:20You're an incurable optimist.
268. 17:23Listen, shall we make a nice little bet?
269. 17:27I'm in. What are we playing for? A coffee?
270. 17:31Alright, a coffee and a pastry.
271. 17:35It's a deal! We'll see who pays tomorrow morning!
272. 17:40Hi! So, are you coming to my birthday party Saturday?
273. 17:46Hi! Look, honestly, I still don't know.
274. 17:51Come on! Why the uncertainty?
275. 17:54Unfortunately it all depends on my shift at the restaurant.
276. 17:59Do you finish very late on Saturday nights?
277. 18:03Maybe I finish at ten, maybe midnight! It's hard to tell.
278. 18:09Ah, I get the problem. That's a real bind.
279. 18:13I still need to figure out how to organize things.
280. 18:16Of course! But will you think about it and try to come?
281. 18:21Yes, absolutely, I'll do my very best.
282. 18:26When do you think you can give me a definite answer?
283. 18:30I'll confirm for sure tomorrow afternoon.
284. 18:34Alright, don't worry, there's no rush at all.
285. 18:38I'm sorry, I'd really love to come celebrate.
286. 18:43It would really be great to have you at the party.
287. 18:47Let's see how the week goes. Fingers crossed!
288. 18:51Let's hope so. I'll save you a slice of cake.
289. 18:56Thanks so much for your patience! Talk tomorrow!
290. 19:01Listen, will you help me with the moving boxes Saturday morning?
291. 19:06Of course I'll help you! I'll be there, count on me.
292. 19:11Promise? No messing around, eh!
293. 19:15I promise you solemnly.
294. 19:18Look, last time you didn't come and left me on my own!
295. 19:23You're right, I'm sorry. But this time I won't let you down.
296. 19:29Can I really trust you? Word of honor?
297. 19:33Word of honor. At eight sharp I'll be at your door.
298. 19:39Alright, I trust you. I need strong arms!
299. 19:44You can sleep easy. I'll take care of everything.
300. 19:49Will you call me Friday evening to confirm the time?
301. 19:53Sure, I'll call you as soon as I finish work.
302. 19:57Ah, and please, don't tell any of the others.
303. 20:01My lips are sealed. It'll be our secret.
304. 20:06Thanks so much, you're a lifesaver.
305. 20:09Don't mention it, that's what friends are for.
306. 20:14I know deep down you always keep your promises.
307. 20:18You'll see with your own eyes on Saturday!
308. 20:22Sit down. I've made a historic decision.
309. 20:28Historic, no less? Let's hear it, what's it about?
310. 20:32Enough. I'm quitting smoking for good.
311. 20:37Really this time? Or is it yet another lie?
312. 20:41No, no. This time I'm doing it for real, I swear.
313. 20:45But you've been saying that every month for three years!
314. 20:49I know, I've messed up in the past. But now I've decided.
315. 20:54Are you really one hundred percent determined?
316. 20:58I'm convinced. Nothing and nobody will stop me.
317. 21:03Good for you! It's the best decision of your life.
318. 21:07Starting tomorrow I'm throwing everything away and changing my lifestyle.
319. 21:12Are you also going to start doing some sport, by any chance?
320. 21:16Yes, I bought running shoes and I'm going to start running in the park.
321. 21:20What great news! I'm really proud of you.
322. 21:24I'll never touch a cigarette again.
323. 21:28If you need moral support, give me a call.
324. 21:32Thanks, your help really matters. I'm really going to try.
325. 21:37You'll make it, I'm absolutely sure. You have an iron will.
326. 21:42I want to breathe well again and feel fit.
327. 21:47I'm with you, one step at a time!
328. 21:52So, have you written your New Year's resolutions yet?
329. 21:57Yes, I jotted down a few ideas. I've got two or three big ones.
330. 22:02Like what? What's first on the list?
331. 22:05This year I absolutely want to join a gym and start working out.
332. 22:11That's a classic, but it's a great idea for your health.
333. 22:15And then I want to learn to cook and eat much better.
334. 22:20I need that too! And you, what big goals do you have?
335. 22:25My main goal is to save a lot more money.
336. 22:30To buy a new car?
337. 22:33No, I want to travel more around the world. That's my dream.
338. 22:38What a lovely resolution! Traveling opens the mind.
339. 22:42I also want to switch off my phone and spend more time with family.
340. 22:47That's essential, well done.
341. 22:50And you? Do you want to stop doing something bad?
342. 22:55Yes… I want to stop complaining about everything all the time!
343. 23:00Haha! Do you want to become a super positive person?
344. 23:05Exactly, no more complaining. I want to take life with a smile.
345. 23:11It's the perfect time to change for the better.
346. 23:14Tell me the truth: do you have a secret dream tucked away?
347. 23:19Yes. My dream is to open a little bar on the beach.
348. 23:24How wonderful! If you believe in it, little by little you'll get there.
349. 23:30I'll work hard to make it happen. Happy new year!
350. 23:35Happy new year! We'll both make it, I'm sure of it!
