Marika gives us a trick for how to know if del, della, or degli (all meaning "of the") are articulated prepositions or partitive articles. Sounds complicated, but isn't really. See her previous videos about these grammar topics: preposizioni articolate - articoli partitivi.
What is chromotherapy? Marino, who is a chromotherapist, explains this fascinating branch of alternative medicine.
Don't forget the baking soda, but be careful. Basta pochissimo (a little goes a long way). The same goes for the lemon juice. As you will see, this recipe is very simple, so have fun!
It's a shame to throw away perfectly good fruit, just because some of it is bruised. Andromeda shows us her anti-waste recipe for fruit preserves.
Find out the various different meanings of these words: campo, squadra, and verso.
Ready for some more Italian words with various different meanings? Marika talks about albero, batteria, and dado.
Marika talks about three words — piano, credenza, and tempo — that have something important in common. They all have multiple meanings, not just nuances, not just connotations. Technically, they are called polysemous or polysemic words.
The last stop on our trip around Venice is the beautiful, uninhabited island of Torcello. Marika has a few stories to tell about it.
The Venetian island of Burano is famous for its multi-colored houses and for its lace. It's time to get your camera out, if you haven't already.
A short boat ride takes us from Venice to Murano, where they make some of the most beautiful glass in the world.
Marika takes us to the piazza where Marco Polo supposedly lived. But which house is it? She asks a local. The name of the square is Corte Seconda del Milion. Il Milion is the Italian name of the book, The Travels of Marco Polo.
Everyone has heard of St. Mark's Square, but Marika gives us some interesting tidbits of information and then takes us to a see a very special staircase.
Even if we have never been to Venice, we all know a gondola when we see one, but let's find out more about this elegant Venetian symbol.
Marika goes over some of the advanced options for customizing the Yabla Player. There are many ways to get the most out of your Yabla learning experience.
Marika takes us to see a special statue, a fish market and two famous bridges.
In Venice, the concept of "streets" and "roads" is totally different from most other places in Italy, so there are some new words to learn that apply almost exclusively to this wonderful city. Marika does some show and tell to help us get the picture.
When you are watching a video on the Yabla player, there are some options (aside from the playback buttons), right at your fingertips. Marika explains the first three here in the first part of the tutorial: Help, Transcript, and Favorites, which may also be called "Bookmark."
Marika shows us a famous bookshop in Venice. It's in a critical position with respect to the water level, so special precautions are taken to protect the books when there are high tides. Fascinating!
Marika takes us to Venice where we have a look around through her "eyes." We start out near the Doge's Palace.
Marika explains what partitive articles are all about and gives us some helpful examples.
