🎧 Mini Episode 05 – Imperfetto Rebels: Irregular Verbs & Fishy Proverbs

In this mini episode of Impariamo l’italiano piano piano, we turn to the “celebrities” of the imperfetto: irregular verbs. From essere, always stealing the spotlight, to fare, dire, and bere, we’ll break down their stems and show you how they fit into everyday storytelling.

But verbs aren’t the only stars today. We’ll also explore some classic Italian sayings about fish, from the well-known chi dorme non piglia pesci (“you snooze, you lose”) to the expressive sentirsi come un pesce fuor d’acqua (“to feel like a fish out of water”). With grammar, proverbs, and a seaside story from Antonio, you’ll see how irregular verbs come alive in real Italian.
