In Part 1B of our exploration of the Italian preposition a, it's time to put everything into practice.
--> Link to Post for Transcript for this episode <--
We'll discover how a combines with definite articles to form al, allo, alla, all', ai, agli, and alle, and we'll meet a family of common verbs that naturally take a, including provare a, riuscire a, cominciare a, continuare a, and imparare a.
Then, at last, we arrive at the neighbourhood summer market. As Carlo, Sara, and Luca welcome their first customers, you'll hear a doing its many jobs in real Italian: pointing to places, recipients, times, and actions. Along the way, another small mystery begins to unfold...
By the end of this episode, you'll not only recognize the patterns—you'll hear them working naturally inside a story.
Buon ascolto... e buona caccia agli a!
