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

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

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.

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

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..."

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?

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

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

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

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

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?

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."

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.

There is a certain kind of subordinate clause, called a "clause of purpose," that basically answers the question, "to what end?" Italian has a number of conjunctions that can be translated as "so that," and they take the subjunctive in most cases. So this kind of subordinate clause can be tricky.

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!
