🎧 Mini Episode 07 – The Moment It Happened: Passato Prossimo in Action
In this mini episode, we take a closer look at how the passato prossimo works on its own and alongside the imperfetto. First, we review the building blocks of the tense and practice with verbs drawn from Chapter 1 of our story. Then we expand with a few new verbs and see how quick “snapshots” of completed action can suddenly interrupt the flowing background of the imperfetto. Along the way, Antonio keeps the energy high while we discover how these two past tenses team up to make stories come alive.
Never Too Late to Learn
A brief reflection inspired by Bill Monty’s Guide for Getting Older and his episode about Dame Patricia Routledge who, at 96, decided to learn Italian so she could sing an Italian opera. A beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to learn something new, pursue a passion, or follow a dream.
