The verb 'fare' means "to do" or "to make", but it does far more work than that in Italian. In this episode, Francesca goes through seven common set phrases built on 'fare' where the natural English translation is a completely different verb, from talking about the weather to packing a suitcase, taking a photo and asking a question. Learn these and a lot of everyday Italian falls into place. ➡️ Click here to watch the video version of this episode . ➡️ Want more tips like these delivered straight to your inbox?
