Dariko, lo stesso stavo pensando io. Ma dai, ragazzi, è la voce di Tommaso? Spero di sì!

It is an exccelent lesson. Very rich in grammar and useful expressions.Will take a bit of time to master it though :)
P.S. I l really like the voice of this ragazzo Tomasso (?). Hope there will be more dialogues with his participation!

Sì, sì... è Tommaso!
He's very busy in these days but we'll try to make him come here more often to do dialogues!!

Hi guys, as Marco said I'm very busy at the moment but don't worry I'm always available for all the "italianpodini" so, see you soon and thanks for the compliments. I suggest everybody to praise Marco for his sense of creativity in writing such a beautiful and smooth dialogue.
Un saluto a tutti e un abbraccio al trio di italianpod!
Tommaso

Ciao brutti, bella :)
Ho una domanda di grammatica. Nella frase, "....che rischio grosso" chi è il soggetto, la persona chi parla oppure il rischio? By reading the pop up translation, it appears that it is "rischio"...but then, shouldn't the phrase be "...che il rischio è grosso?" Confused here...

@salvador
Thanks for your question. I've cleared things up in the annotation - you're right, it was unclear. Here's where the confusion arises:
il rischio: the risk
rischiare: to risk
In this case, the phrase was translated unclearly. A better way to say it is:
rischio grosso : I'm taking a big risk
The subject is io, I
Sorry for the confusion. Hope this explanation helps!
