25. Our Little Friends NE & CI (5 Minutes A Day)
Level: 5 Minutes A Day
Learn Italian with LearnItalianPod.com – Several VIP Members (thank you Luis, Sandra, and Carmen) have requested that we dedicate a lesson to the hugely common Italian little words “NE” and “CI”. Just listen to two native Italians speaking and good chances are you will hear the two little words “NE” and “CI” repeated several times. – “NE” and “CI” are called “idiomatic” words because, even if they act as pronouns, they are particular to the Italian language and cannot be translated literally – and yes, they are a “must-know”!
So, let’s learn, once and for all, everything we need to know about these two super important words and let’s practice a lot of very useful Italian words, sentences, and grammar rules that are sure to make your Italian better. Enjoy!
[How Would You Say It: At The Photo Shop - LearnItalianPod VIP Members Extra Bonus!] Login to the Learning Center to find, as a special extra bonus, a super useful audio file with PDF transcript entitled “How Would You Say It: At The Photo Shop“, a terrific way to test and improve your knowledge of Italian by translating words and sentences on the fly. Practice this, and don’t forget your camera to immortalize your best (Italian) memories!
