Lesson#1
Welcome to A2 Italian part 5, the last part of your A2 Italian course. By the end, you'll be able to bring your Italian together with more confidence: describing experiences, explaining problems, making plans, giving opinions, and handling everyday conversations with greater ease. This final part will help you sound more natural, respond more flexibly, and feel ready to move beyond A2.
Lesson#2
Let's start with the imperative, which is used for giving commands. To give an informal command to one person, using the 'tu' form, you change the verb ending. For verbs ending in -A R E, like 'parlare', the ending becomes -A. So, 'parla' means 'speak'.
Quiz#3
How do you say 'Turn right' to a friend in Italian?

Gira a destra.

Lesson#4
For verbs ending in -E R E and -I R E, the informal 'tu' imperative ending is -I. For example, 'prendere' becomes 'prendi', and 'aprire' becomes 'apri'.
Quiz#5
Translate into Italian, speaking to a friend: 'Take this medicine.'

Prendi questa medicina.

Quiz#6
How do you say 'Open the door' to a friend in Italian?
