The Italian Direct Object Pronoun intervention was a success. You don’t get on everyone’s nerves anymore. However, you have been living in Italy for a while now and you really wish you sounded just a bit more…well, Italian. Your Italian friends taught you the Italian pronouns you need to keep them from ostracizing you completely. Yet, did they teach you how to use them correctly? People can understand what you are saying to them in Italian-and you are doing great with your Italian language studies…but you still sound, well, foreign. Imagine how surprised your friends in Italy would be if you started studying Italian in your spare time here with us at ItalianPod101 and suddenly started speaking better Italian than them! Then, you can tell them in Italian, “ItalianPod101.com! I couldn’t have done it without them!” Learning Italian with ItalianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Italian! In this Italian Newbie lesson, we will continue learning about Italian direct object pronouns. In the previous lesson, we looked at how gender and number affects these Italian pronouns.

You have been living in Italy for about two months now and you have met some great people…but today they are having an intervention. All of your new Italian friends, coworkers, and loved ones have gathered on your behalf to help you make an important change in your life. They can no longer sit idly by and watch you tear yourself or them apart, so it has come to this. As you come bouncing into the room, the shock washes over you. Have you forgotten someone’s birthday? The room sits in silence as you attempt to find out in Italian what’s wrong with them. “What’s wrong with John, Franco, Alisa, Isabella, Antonio…” STOP! Your best friend pleads with you in Italian to stop before you spend the next twenty minutes naming everyone in the room. So you ask in Italian, “Is something wrong with Alisa?” That is all they can take. They set you down in front of a chalkboard with strange words scrawled across the front. Your friends can no longer listen to their names repeated senselessly. Honey, this is an Italian Direct Object Pronoun Intervention. You’ll be a better person for it. Learning Italian with ItalianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Italian! In this Italian Newbie lesson, you will learn how to use Italian unstressed direct object pronouns when you wish to employ an Italian object pronoun instead of a noun, but do not wish to stress it as the most important part of the sentence. Then we will discuss the incredible residence built by Emperor Nero, the Domus Aurea. Don’t forget to stop by ItalianPod101 for more great Italian learning materials!
