Italian Lessons

How would you explain to a bunch of twelve-year old British school children who have never encountered grammatical gender that objects, ideas, animals and countries in many European languages can either be masculine, feminine or, as in German, neutral?

Can you name seven colours in Italian? Did you know that there are many sayings
related to colours? Did you know that some political parties in Italy are identified
by their colours? If one of your answers is no and you have been living in this
country for quite a while, then please read on.

The second lesson in our beginner series on Italian, is here. This time A.

As promised our series on Italian, continues. This time Fabrizio Ulivieri guides us through those most essential of verbs "fare" and "essere".

Italy Magazine has, over several issues, put together a language course aimed at providing readers with a good foundation on Italian. With the redesign of the Italy Magazine website we thought it would be a good chance to get people started on the course again.
