A representation of the Yabla Italian team wants to surprise Yabla friends with many good wishes and nice messages. Thank you for being with us this year too! Happy Holidays!

This year's holiday greetings from the Yabla Italian team include a short poem by Gianni Rodari. He asks a soothsayer to see into the future. Let's see what the soothsayer says! Heartfelt thanks to all who are honing their Italian skills with Yabla.

As we approach the end-of-the-year holidays, the staff of Yabla Italian makes a toast to all its students and followers who are, each in his or her own way, on the road to becoming fluent.

Inspector Barreca gets to where the Italo-Australian has been stopped and fiddles with something without being seen. In the locker room of the stadium, Del Vento enjoys his victory shower, a moment he always looks forward to. Then he sets out towards Calabria to visit some relatives.

We're at a police station, where the printer is acting up and a phone call comes in from a patrol car. We also hear what happens after the soccer game when the president of the Teramo Calcio comes to congratulate the team.

Fulvio and Fabia take turns reading an extract from the book, Crimine infinito (Infinite Crime). The novel is based on the true story of a soccer player who gets involved in the 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian organized crime syndicate.

During the reception, Adriano manages to find a quiet moment to tell us what a Polish wedding is all about. He also talks about love, the main focus of this special day.

Adriano shows us the place where the reception will take place. It will include dining and dancing, complete with deejay.

Adriano and Anita exchange wedding vows on this special day for them.

It's a very special day for Adriano and Anita. We hear Adriano's mother read a famous passage on love from First Corinthians 13 (New Testament of the Bible).

Holiday greetings from Yabla Italian.

Edo is an illusionist, and with Eleonora's assistance, he shows us some tricks with newspaper cuttings and a deck of cards, all with Mount Vesuvius as a backdrop.

Yabla students wrote in with some questions for Adriano. He answers them in this video, with the help of his mamma.

Lara gets a chance to explain why she chose the word she chose and how she connected the five words given to her.
