| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Cinzia: Marco, we already had a conversation about New Year's buoni propositi, didn't we? |
| Marco: Yes, but we didn't ask our listeners about them? |
| Cinzia: Oh yes, it's true! So listeners, have you already started thinking about New Year's resolution? |

| Cinzia: Oh yeah!! I know! I know! Our listener's best resolution for 2009 is to visit Italy after having studied with us! |
| Marco: That's a nice resolution! But let's jump into the vocabulary now! |

| Cinzia: Yes, Marco, you’re right. But don’t forget to mention that its English translation is a false friend. |

Lesson focus |
|---|
| Marco: As we mentioned in the previous class, the Futuro Semplice (Simple Future) tense is realized by dropping the ending vowel from the infinitive, and adding the appropriate endings. |
| Cinzia: Different from first conjugation, second conjugation regular verbs do not change their last syllable vowel, which stays -e-. |
| Marco: The necessary steps to inflect second conjugation verbs are the following |
| Cinzia: 1st- take the infinitive of the verb |
| Marco: 2nd- drop the final vowel |
| Cinzia: 3rd- add the appropriate endings. That’s easy. |
| Cinzia: It is easy. And now let's take a look at the verb accendere “to switch on, to turn on” |
| Io accender-ò “I will switch on” |
| Tu accendera-i “You will switch on” |
| Lui/Lei accender-à “He/She/It will switch on” |
| Noi accender-emo “We will switch on” |
| Voi accender-ete “You will switch on” |
| Loro accender-anno “They will switch on” |
