🎙 Podcast Episode One: Impariamo l’italiano piano piano - Un impegno quotidiano

In this episode, we'll begin our exploration of one of Italian's most poetic and versatile tenses: l’imperfetto. Through vivid examples and storytelling, we’ll uncover the beauty of this tense, used to describe past habits, ongoing actions, and background details.

🌟 Highlights:

✔️ Why l’imperfetto is perfect for setting the scene in narratives.
✔️ Three key uses: habits, ongoing actions, and background descriptions.
✔️ Examples from Mariella’s story, set in the heart of Florence.

 🎯 Practice Makes Perfect:
Even before we get into the conjugation of this melodic tense, you have the opportunity to practice with me as I provide the english version of examples and give you the opportunity to say the italian before I do.
