Daniela talks about verbs having to do with shops, and whether they close at lunchtime or not.

When we speak of an unspecified quantity of food items, objects, etc. we use the indefinite or partitive article, which changes according to the gender of the noun in question (singular: del, della, dello, and plural: dei, delle, degli). In the second part of the lesson, you'll notice that Italian uses the equivalent of "of" or "of it" where English doesn't. Feel free to absorb the first part of this lesson before tackling the second part.

Marika and Anna present the verb avere (to have) in the subjunctive mood, which, in Italian, as you'll see, is used when the word che is used as a conjunction. This mood has practically disappeared from the English language.

Daniela talks about the conjugation of the verb "to have," and gives us some important information about pronunciation.

Daniela started out dubbing films. Now she works as a voice-over artist, narrating documentaries. Marika and Daniela talk about common errors in pronunciation and how much of a difference they can make!

What would you wear if you had to do sports, go to the beach, or if it were cold? Marika teaches you the names for items of clothing, as well as an Italian saying on the subject.

In this lesson, Daniela talks about the two most important verbs in Italian: essere (to be) and avere (to have).

Anna and Marika talk about their love lives, using the remote past and the remote past perfect, as well as the present and past conditional.

What do you say when you meet someone for the first time? Daniela discusses introductions.

Arianna gives us more insights on the gestures used by Italians in everyday life, and talks about what body language can reveal about a person.

Gestures are part of body language, and we all know that Italians are particularly famous for communicating with their hands. Arianna shows us how to "speak" Italian without words.
