Welcome back to Coffee Break Italian Season 3! In this episode we continue our journey through the conditional. Following on from the previous episode where we introduced this new mood and explained its functions; we are now focusing on the conditional perfect. We hear this grammar point in context during a conversation between husband and wife watching the news at dinner time. Take note of some useful vocabulary including: negozietto, telegiornale and vigili del fuoco. We also share a new idiomatic expression which combines the two topics featured in our dialogue: food and fire.
