This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

Maybe you want to speak Italian with your nonna from Rome? Our podcast will give you the cultural…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T04:17:58.420813+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-italian-6002545"},"episode":{"title":"Indoor Adventures: Luca's Allergy-Proof Summer","slug":"indoor-adventures-luca-s-allergy-proof-summer","published_at":"2026-07-06T22:46:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-italian-6002545/indoor-adventures-luca-s-allergy-proof-summer","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-italian-6002545","url":"https://www.fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2026-07-06-22-34-02-it","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72845398/2026_07_06_22_34_02_it_draft_episode.mp3","summary":"Fluent Fiction - Italian : Indoor Adventures: Luca's Allergy-Proof Summer Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2026-07-06-22-34-02-it Story Transcript: It: Luca amava l'estate.
