Do you know how to describe past habits or continuous situations in Italian? You'll learn how in just a moment. |
Hi, my name is Felice, and this is Three Step Italian by ItalianPod101.com. |
In this lesson, you'll learn how to describe past habits or continuous situations in Italian through a quick conversation. |
Let's look at the dialogue. |
As you listen, pay attention to how they talk about the past and describe what life used to be like. |
Questo sei tu da giovane? Che bel ragazzo! |
Eh sì, ero molto bello. Avevo ventidue anni. Ero uno studente dell'università. Andavo tutti i giorni in palestra. |
Tutti i giorni? |
Sì, tutti i giorni. Avevo già il sogno di aprire la mia palestra. |
Let's hear it with the English translation. |
Questo sei tu da giovane? Che bel ragazzo! |
"Is this you when you were young? What a handsome guy!" |
Pay attention to the next paragraph. The sentences follow the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson. |
