Serena is still shopping for clothes, and looks at some pretty flashy shoes. In the end, though, she goes for the jacket, and she fishes in her bag for the cash. She gives us a good example of how the plural is used when talking about euros. Euro is both singular and plural in Italian. So whether we're talking about soldi (money) or euro (euros), Italians think in the plural!

Go clothes shopping with Serena, who's looking for something nice for a festa, as well as some everyday wear.

Serena and Martina take you to a shop that sells both home health care products and beauty aids. This kind of shop is called a sanitaria, coming from the word, sanità (health). If you ever (heaven forbid!) need a wheelchair, ace bandage, neck brace, or even orthopedic shoes, this is the place to go. Today, Serena and Martina are shopping for more glamorous items.

How do three buddies, who happen to be oxen, get eaten by a lion? Adriano tells the tale, complete with the lesson to be learned. Have you guessed? It's one of Aesop's Fables.

Adriano shares with us the story of the fox and the cicada. Apart from the usefulness of the story itself, there's a good selection of verbs in tenses we don't use every day, but which are used in storytelling.

Spring is here and Cettina is enjoying the outdoors. Flowers are starting to bloom, trees are getting leaves, and the sunshine is warm enough to go without a jacket.

Cettina shows us how to make a very basic nativity scene.

Cettina and Alex show us how they decorate their Christmas tree.

Francesca takes us to Mount Terminillo, a range of mountains whose highest peak is over two thousand two hundred meters high. It's easy to get to from Rome and there's lots to do there.

Are you ready to go skiing? Sure you haven't forgotten anything? Review with Francesca the kind of clothing you should wear if you're going to spend a nice day in the snow.

Although it rarely snows in Rome, there are mountains nearby where it does snow. Francesca takes us to the Abruzzese Apennines and while driving, she tells us about her passion for sledding, and how to deal with winter temperatures.

Giuliano talks about why this year he chose to go to a lake for his vacation.

How many hand movements and gestures can an Italian make during a totally normal conversation? Have a look at Marika and Francesca!

Capocotta is the name of the Latium beach where Francesca is spending the last day of summer. This stretch of shore became a nature preserve in the '80s at the behest of President Sandro Pertini.

Francesca has a relaxing day at the beach, buys some cheap earrings from a beach vendor, then tries the water.
