Navigating the adjectives or pronouns che (what), cosa (what), and quale (what, which) is confusing to most learners, but Marika helps us make sense of it all.

After saying Pronto? (hello), what do you say when calling someone, or when someone calls you? Marika has all the answers.

Marika answers a question about some tricky adverbs of place: avanti, davanti, and difronte. She begins, in this segment, with avanti (forward), an adverb that is mostly used with verbs of motion, such as andare (to go) and venire (to come)

Adverbs davanti and di fronte have to do with a position in relation to something or someone. In contrast, avanti [forward], discussed in part 1, is primarily about motion.

Marika tells us about Italian sayings and proverbs, providing examples about life, love, and the weather.

Marika teaches us some other Italian sayings, regarding time; working on one's own, instead of being assisted; and even about people who drink too much, who might let down their guard, saying things they wouldn't say while sober.
