In this first week, you’ll be learning the names of some drinks and snacks commonly sold in Italian bars. You’ll hear how to pronounce them correctly, and learn some useful phrases for ordering. Finally, we’ll cover the basic principles of masculine and feminine nouns, and using indefinite articles. At the end, you can test your learning with a quick quiz.
