Il podcast ”Comme se dice?” nasce da un’idea di Vincenzo Luca Forte e Iginia Barretta, insegnanti di Napoletano e altre lingue sulla piattaforma Italki. 
Il podcast è dedicato al dialetto napoletano e si rivolge principalmente a chi vuole impararlo o è interessato ad approfondire la sua conoscenza. Ogni puntata affronta a rotazione diversi temi riguardanti il Napoletano, che possono spaziare dalla grammatica alla cultura, dalla fonetica alla letteratura, dalla canzone al cinema, e si svolge sempre in presenza di alcuni studenti di napoletano di Luca e Iginia. Con la loro partecipazione gli ideatori si propongono, infatti, non solo di offrire un approfondimento linguistico e culturale sul napoletano ma anche di riprodurre un momento didattico e di apprendimento rappresentativo del loro metodo d’insegnamento.
In questo pilot, oltre ad una presentazione degli ideatori e dei partecipanti, si parlerà di:
-	Poesia napoletana 
-	Storia della lingua e del dialetto Napoletano
-	Canzone napoletana
-	La Schwa, o la vocale centrale media in Napoletano
