| 0:00.0 | Faire, and veneire, mean do, come and go in Italian. |
| 0:07.7 | They're three of the most common words in Italian, so it would be really difficult to have |
| 0:12.0 | even a simple conversation without them. |
| 0:15.1 | But lots of learners get them wrong because, annoyingly, they don't follow the normal rules. |
| 0:21.6 | In today's episode, you'll find out exactly how they work and how you can use them in Italy. |
| 0:26.9 | And as a little bonus, we'll be sharing some insider tips for some things to do in Milan. Hi all all |
| 0:42.3 | and welcome to learn Italian with Joy of Languages. |
| 0:49.1 | Today we're talking about three very important verbs in Italian. |

| 1:17.3 | boring and I find that it's not even the best way to make them stick. A better idea is to hear |
| 1:22.6 | them used in real natural Italian conversations like the one you're about to hear between me and |

| 1:45.6 | Grazie and I are going to use these verbs to talk about what we like to do in Italy with our |
| 1:53.1 | friends. See if you can catch when we use the form of fare to do, |
| 1:59.5 | and to go or venere to come. Mathieu. Use the form of do, go, |
| 2:01.0 | or to come. |
