Parla italiano? What about another language? Here's how to say the most commonly spoken and studied languages in Italian, plus a few more for good measure.

Imperfect

Italian imperfect
They say practice makes perfect, so how can one of the most common Italian past tenses be imperfect? In grammatical terms, "perfect" means "complete," so the imperfect tense is used to describe an incomplete or ongoing action or state of being.

Hard and Soft Vowels
