I guess just take down the key words and then u have a list by the end of the day of words u should know and go over. The next day start a new list and learn that!
I do not believe "una" was ever introduced beforehand - previous sections were all about "il" and "la". I only got it right because I made an educated guess out of failing with "il ragazzo" a second ago. The class should start with differentiating "la" from "una" etc.
this is my 3rd time trying through the first "basic" lesson. never tried learning another language but this un la il and un stuff is making me fail. I completely agree.
Its a pain alright but dont give up you will eventually get it took me about a month so keep going and I suggest watching something in Italian etc... To get the feel for it
Yes the feel for it is very important later on
Never thought I'd be learning a language for fun, but Italian is actually pretty fun to learn, especially when youre getting thr hang of it!!! I just wish i didnt have to wait so long for hearts to come back
In general, the article must agree with the noun - masculine article, masculine noun and feminine article, feminine noun. There are exceptions but worry about those when you have the sense of this firmed up.
Genders ... una is feminine and un is masculine. Feminine words often end in "a" (like unA ragazzA, and unA penA) it's the rhyming endings that make Italian such a poetic sounding language. Rhyming words (especially when you get to plurals) will help you a little with learning.
