CBI Mag 2.09 | La Serenata: una dedica musicale

<p>Welcome back to the Coffee Break Italian Magazine! This time, we’re talking about the origins of a well-known romantic tradition -&nbsp;<em>La Serenata.&nbsp;</em>While listening to a text about this ancient tradition, we learn about the following grammar points:<em>&nbsp;basta che</em>&nbsp;+ subjunctive, the&nbsp;<em>ce n’è</em>&nbsp;structure, and how to use&nbsp;<em>il proprio&nbsp;</em>/&nbsp;<em>la propria</em>&nbsp;as an alternative to&nbsp;<em>il suo/</em>&nbsp;<em>la sua.</em>&nbsp;As always, there’s lots of new vocabulary to take&nbsp;note of along the way, such as&nbsp;<em>chitarra</em>,&nbsp;<em>liuto</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>promessi sposi.&nbsp;</em>In keeping with the theme of this&nbsp;episode, our<em>&nbsp;ciliegina sulla torta</em><strong>&nbsp;</strong>is something musical! Listen until the end to hear this new Italian idiom.</p><br><p>There will be a total of 10 episodes in Season 2 of the Coffee Break Italian Magazine.
