Learn, Improve, Explore...» online http://www.torredibabele.com/blog The Blog for Italian Language Learners Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:41:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Reflexive Verbs in Italian http://www.torredibabele.com/blog/reflexive-verbs-italian/ http://www.torredibabele.com/blog/reflexive-verbs-italian/#comments Fri, 19 Dec 2008 11:38:58 +0000 JD http://www.torredibabele.com/blog/?p=223 So here it is! The first video of hopefully a series of videos to aid Italian language learners around the globe to learn Italian or simply clarify their doubts about single topics of the Italian language.

After consulting the students at Torre di Babele, we decided to begin with one of the topics that cause them the most trouble, reflexive verbs. 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, “mi”, “ti”, and “si”. Ok… ok…! I’ll shut up, at let Alvise explain it to you.

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’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 Italian Online Resources.

P.S. I almost forgot… the videos show a hint of our teaching method, a direct approach to Italian, no translations!

Are you ready to learn Italian?

Enjoy the Lesson!
