Hey,

I have a question…let’s say I’m talking to someone and I have to leave somewhere..
How do I say…”I’m sorry, but I have to go”?

You would say: “Mi dispiace, ma devo andare”.

I really struggled keeping up with you Massimo on this one. I had to keep pushing pause in order to have time to repeat the sentences. I want to get all the articles and prepositions correct along with, of course, the new verbs. This one was a bit too fast for me. But than again maybe that’s just because I’m not a “real student.”

Dan, just let it sink into your routine bit by bit - remember that prepositions can be confusing in Italian - there are a lot of different usages and exceptions.

Maybe you can try some different lessons for a few days and then come back to this one and see if you feel more confortable.

Hi
like Dan I struggled a bit here. As you say the prepositions are confusing. I think the advice to just go over different lessons is right - with practice your brain just suddenly jumps into gear and gets it! The problem is that sometimes you get a bit disheartened at the time it takes!! Anyway, I have still learned more with LearnItalianPod than with any other method. So thanks
