Tamara shows us how to use a simple stencil to turn a plain paper bag into a gift package.

Arianna has been made the head of a new marketing team. Too bad the woman reporting to her let things go sideways.

Together with his dog Zara, Adriano commemorates Mother Teresa of Calcutta and her teachings on animals. Mother Teresa was canonized by Pope Francis on September 4, 2016.

Luca finds out some important information from the housekeeper, and he also finds out, quite by accident, about Lara's course in Milan.

Mussolini continues to get rid of any traces of foreign words, and even mounts an exhibit against the use of the common formal second person singular address "Lei" (you) in favor of "Voi." See this lesson about "Voi" to get some background.

Daniela works on the expressions where the verb essere [to be] is followed the subjunctive in the subordinate clause. The expressions include: È una fortuna [It's a bit of luck] and È un peccato [It's a shame].

Camilla is taking risks to figure out who killed Nicola. But Commissioner Berardi shows up in time to whisk her away. He's none too happy about her interfering, but in the end, she gives him a hand by identifying some suspects.

Season's greetings from Yabla Italian. A personal message from the faces and voices you know so well.

Toscani knows he's doing a good job, but is frustrated because Manara doesn't ever acknowledge it. Meanwhile, Luca must have an idea since he goes prancing around the office. In fact, he knows exactly what he's doing.

We can see that the battle against using "Lei," the common, formal, second-person form of address, was taken very seriously by the fascists. In fact they went too far when it came to a popular women's magazine called "Lei" (she, her).

Camilla goes to the police station to identify the two thugs who had attacked her, and who sold the drugs to Marta. She also confronts Marta who has been brought in for questioning, and who is wondering who on earth Camilla is, and what she wants from her.

Tamara, with Tania's help, continues with the decoration of a gift bag. The glue and glitter technique can also be used on handbags or t-shirts.

Marika begins a five-part series on the five different types of adverbs in Italian. Location adverbs, which would be termed more “prepositions” in English, are the focus of this segment. In Italian, the difference between adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions is often blurry.

In this episode, we have the straw that breaks the camel's back as far as Lara is concerned. Toscani has a good moment.

The previous lesson ended with the verb essere (to be) plus adjectives. Now, Daniela goes on to tell us about the verb essere plus adverbs and then teaches us about a great shortcut for avoiding the subjunctive when using the word basta [it's enough, just]. Normally, basta signals the need for the subjunctive, but Daniela offers up some examples where the infinitive verb works best.
