			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here it is! <strong>The first video</strong> of hopefully a series of videos to<strong> aid Italian language learners around the globe</strong> to learn Italian or simply clarify their doubts about single topics of the Italian language.</p>
<p>After consulting the students at Torre di Babele, we decided to begin with one of the topics that cause them the most trouble, <strong>reflexive verbs</strong>. In Italian the use of reflexive verbs is rather common when it comes to daily actions. Reflexive verbs require the use of reflexive pronouns for instance, <strong>&#8220;mi&#8221;, &#8220;ti&#8221;, and &#8220;si&#8221;</strong>. Ok&#8230; ok&#8230;! I&#8217;ll shut up, at let Alvise explain it to you.</p>
<p>I hope you like it. We look forward to reading lots of comments on this blog post. We will need your input to meet your needs, so don&#8217;t hesitate to add your suggestion for new topics or improvements to be developed on these videos. For suggestions you can also use the form on the index of <a title="Index of Online resources to learn italian" href="http://www.torredibabele.com/blog/learn-italian-online" target="_self">Italian Online Resources</a>.</p>
<p>P.S. I almost forgot&#8230; the videos show a hint of our <strong>teaching method</strong>, a direct approach to Italian, <strong>no translations!</strong></p>
<h2>Are you ready to learn Italian?</h2>
<h3>Enjoy the Lesson!</h3>
