Lesson 20 of 40 · win the A1 Legend badge
Racconto di me — ricapitoliamo
Putting the whole of A1 together
Fireworks in the piazza. Trophy in your hand, medal on Luna. One last challenge: tell us about YOU.
🎯 By the end you can…
- Introduce yourself for a full minute
- Talk about your routine, your likes and last weekend
- Make plans for the future with the present tense
🎬 Listen to the scene
Tap a line to hear it, then say it back louder than Luna barks.
My name is Leo, I'm eleven and I live in Faenza. I like football and on Sundays I play with friends. Yesterday I went swimming. Tomorrow I'm going to Bologna with my mum.
🔑 The A1 checklist
- essere and avere in all six forms
- Nouns, articles and plurals that agree
- Present tense: -are, -ere, -ire, -isc-, plus andare, venire, fare, stare and the three modals
- c'è / ci sono · mi piace / mi piacciono · reflexives
- Prepositions a, in, di, da and their combined forms
- Passato prossimo with avere and essere
🧩 Future without a future tense
- Domani vado a Roma. Stasera studio. — the present does the job at A1.
