  • Pronouns? Direct Objects? Direct object pronouns? Ahh! Ok, I know that in English we rarely go over these grammatical terms, so they can cause some headaches, but really, honestly, they aren't too difficult to understand. Let's first define the concept of a direct object pronoun, and then see how Italians use them!

    Holy cow! This is the best explanation I’ve seen so far. I kinda feel like I could learn Italian in half the time if you were my primary teacher, but anyway, I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your videos on Italian and other subjects as well. You’ve definitely gained a subscriber, thanks man!

    Good Job! let me tell you that "è bene" it's not really Italian. "Bene" it's used with the verbs "stare" or "fare" rather than "essere". I'd change your sentence in "Marco ha detto delle bugie anche se non dovrebbe dirle" :)

    one out of ten.I am useless.I do my best,
    but my best is Non-Existence.The Grammar,
    use of Grammar,etc.is terrible.Why can’t
    other Languages be like English.It is easy to

      Adverbs,Adjectives,Pro-Nouns.You have
      Conjunctions,Prepositions,Articles,Refexive
      verbs.You also have Stems and all of all
      that.If some one speaks to me in Italian,
      I. Don’t understand them.My speaking is
      terrible.I shall be starting Level 3 shortly.
      My class work and homework has been
      two out of ten.My Level 3 will be one out
      of ten,My bear is not good enough.I am
      useless and that is it.(Not to worry).
