We all know how to add and subtract, but talking about it in Italian is another thing. Marika helps us make sense of it and talks about the fractions and percentages we often find in the news and surveys.

The five senses. We know what they are in English, but let's learn them in Italian. First, though, Marika will talk about the noun senso (sense), itself, which has some meanings beyond its cognate "sense."

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.

If you are unsure about how to use the Yabla Player, here are some practical tips for navigating the timeline using an Italian interface.

This song is one side of a phone call made to someone after meeting her at a party. But is there anyone on the other end?

In this part of the lesson about subordinate clauses, Daniela talks about analogies or hypothetical situations. The English equivalent would be when we say, "as if..."

Marika shows us how to view a Yabla video in 3 different ways: standard, theater, and full screen.

This video lesson is about simple prepositions, especially di (of, from, about) and a (to, at).

We continue with simple prepositions, starting off with da (from). But da can also mean "to" or "at," so you won't want to miss this. Marika also explains when to use in or a regarding cities, countries, etc.

Permeating the song are images of a Sicilian beach in the hot summer and the waves that could carry you out to sea.

We look at a few more prepositions and see the contexts in which they are used.

After looking at simple prepositions, Marika talks about a special kind of preposition called una preposizione articolata. It just means that the preposition has a definite article attached to it. In this segment, she covers the ways the preposition di (of) combines with different articles to become a new complex preposition. For example, di + il = del.

We look at the preposition a combined with different definite articles. This preposizione articolata is used, for example, in talking about the time: alle otto (at eight o'clock); about a manner or style: alla francese (French-style), al dente (not too cooked).
