In a TV series inspired by the novel of the same name, Per dieci minuti (For ten minutes), five real-life people are challenging themselves and discovering new possibilities by undertaking a simple sfida (challenge or dare):
Everyday, for ten minutes a day, they must do something new, something they've never done before.
Ho fatto immersioni.
I've been scuba diving.
Non ho mai studiato cinese.
I've never studied Chinese.
Watching the second episode: Fiducia (faith or confidence), I was struck by the activities that each person chose for their first week. In some cases, it was surprising that the person had never done it before, and in others, I wondered how they even
came up with the idea.
Check out some of the first week activities, and practice your Italian vocabulary by matching the activity name with its corresponding picture. As you match, ask yourself the following questions...
Ho mai fatto questa cosa?
Have I ever done this?
and..
Mi interessa farla?
Am I interested in doing it?
