Marika gives us a trick for how to know if del, della, or degli (all meaning "of the") are articulated prepositions or partitive articles. Sounds complicated, but isn't really. See her previous videos about these grammar topics: preposizioni articolate - articoli partitivi.

A stork on its way north stops to rest on the top of the chimney at Armando's house, but it causes the fireplace some breathing problems. Pimpa and her friends have a new problem to solve, with the help of Pippi the stork.

Pimpa defies the windy weather and goes down to the seaside. She ends up on quite an adventure and meets a peculiar little friend who doesn't always tell the truth, as it turns out.

Have you ever wondered what a rhinoceros's horn is used for? Pimpa finds out in this episode.

One tricky thing in lots of languages is when words sound the same but are written differently and have different meanings. In English, these are called, "homophones," part of the larger group, "homonyms."

If bread could talk, would we eat it? Let's see how Pimpa handles the situation. Meanwhile, we learn how bread is made!

Two words can sound the same because in one, there is an article beginning with L connected to the noun by way of an apostrophe (such as l'ago [the needle]) and in the other one, the first letter is L, such as lago [lake]. When we hear them, we distinguish them from the context, because otherwise, there is no way to know.

Omonimi (homonyms) look and sound the same but have different meanings, sometimes wildly different meanings!

Armando goes to work, looking forward to eating some apples from the tree when he gets home. Meanwhile, Pimpa decides to bake him a cake, and then meets a new friend, a hungry crocodile.

It's a sunny day and Pimpa would like to go to the beach. This time she has some adult company. She meets a daredevil rubber boat named Fausto, and consequently gets into a little trouble, but she also learns an important lesson that will be useful to her later on.

The Ugly Duckling was written by Hans Christian Andersen, and published for the first time in 1843. In Italian, stories are generally recounted using two main past tenses: the passato remoto and the imperfetto, so even if you are "too old" for these kinds of things, this story, told by Arianna, is an excellent way to get some practice.

This story teaches us how important it is to accept those who might not look like us and to be patient about finding our place in the world. And sometimes something that seems like a defect, can be a gift.

Pimpa searches through a trunk for something to do and finds an object she doesn't recognize. She asks Big Armando and this really starts the ball rolling for an adventurous day.
