Along the way, we'll also answer an important question: when does Italian use che instead of di in comparisons?Antonio shares a short story inspired by real events, packed with examples of di in action. You'll hear it first at slow speed, then again at a more natural pace, before we finish with a practical framework that will help you recognise what di is doing whenever you encounter it.By the end of the episode, you'll have far more than a translation of di. You'll have a way of thinking about it.The full episode is available to show supporters.To unlock the complete lesson, transcript, the rest of this mini-series, and the companion series of reference materials, simply click the Support the Show link in the show notes of this or any episode.Un pezzetto alla volta. ⏳ CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction2:45 Antonio's Story (Slow Speed)3:56 Wrap-upSupport the showI’d love to hear your thoughts on Impariamo l’italiano piano piano!Here are a few ways you can connect with me:Read my blog here-->Leave me a voice message<-- You might even be featured on the show!
