Episode 4 – Preposition DA – Part 1A

Most learners first meet da when talking about where someone comes from. But that's only the beginning.

--> Link to Post for Transcript for this episode <--

In this episode, we explore three of the most common uses of da. You'll learn how it marks the source of a letter, a message or a journey, how it tells us where movement begins, and why Italians say vado da Marco or sono dal dottore without ever mentioning the word "place."

As always, the grammar grows naturally through conversation between Myra and Antonio, with plenty of examples, comparisons with English, and opportunities to notice the patterns that native speakers use every day.

One small word. Three big jobs.
