When you rent out a house to someone or rent a house from someone, it's important to know who's who. Marika explains how it works.

No one likes paying bills, ma vanno pagate (but they have to be paid). Marika goes over some of the most common utilities and special taxes you have to pay if you live in Italy.

If you don't check your meters and tell the electric and gas companies how much you have consumed, they make an estimate.

Marika talks about going to the movies in Italy. Don't worry. Italians like popcorn, too.

Daniela talks about explicit and implicit causal subordinate clauses.

Marika gets us on track with the words and expressions we need for talking about math. You might hate math, as many do, but it is handy to have the vocabulary at your fingertips!

In this second part, we look at the sense of sight, the sense of smell, and the sense of taste. What are the receptor organs connected to these senses?

Marika tells us about the sense of hearing and touch in this final segment. Do you know what the largest sensory organ is?

Daniela tells us about comparatives used in subordinate clauses. There are three kinds: majority, minority, and equality.
