Hello, this is Byron from Byron's Games. You're watching Learn and Explore, brought to you by Lava Puma Network, sponsored by Byron's Games. I'm here with a few friends. We have over here, Matias, my teacher Barbara, here is Lucas, here is Natalia, here is Francesca, here is Theodora, and here is Valentina. Barbara and Natalia are here from Insieme a Chicago, and they will teach you a few things about Italians. Hi, everybody. Ciao. My name is Barbara, as Byron said, and I'm the founder and teacher of Insieme a Chicago, an Italian school for kids. We are here today to teach you a little bit of Italian and have fun with you. Right, Natalia? That's right. Are you ready to sing a little song? Yes. I think we should start by singing our hello song. You mean our ciao song? Yes, because in Italian, hello is? Ciao. Is? Ciao. Is? Ciao. Is? Ciao. Is? Ciao. Can you say ciao with us? Let's hear you saying it. Ciao. I think they did a great job. Bravo. Let's start with our song. Ciao, amici. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Ciao, amici. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Se lo dici con il cuore, l'amore dire affetta amore. Dimmi ciao. Ciao, amigas. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Ciao, lucas. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Ciao, Mayran. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Ciao, Francesca. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Ciao, Teodora. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Ciao, Valentina. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Ciao, amici. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Ciao, amici. Ciao, ciao, ciao. Se lo dici con il cuore vuole dire affetto, amore, dimmi ciao. Ciao! E tu, come ti chiami? Okay, so, ciao amici! Ciao! Ciao amici! Ciao! Ciao amici! So now that we can all say ciao, hello, I think it's time that we get to know each other, right? Because we are all friends, amici. Friends is amici in Italian. So, I think we might need a friend, un amico, who can help us introduce ourselves. È un amico che salta. It's a friend who can jump, salta, jump. I think I have him right here. So, who is he? Chi è? Un coniglio. Un coniglio! Un coniglio! So let's hear everybody saying il coniglio. Il coniglio. Wow! And let's see if our new friends can say too, il coniglio. Bravo! Molto bene! I think you did it great! Il coniglio. So, first of all, can we ask too, il coniglio, how is he feeling, right? First of all, we need to ask him that, right? Come stai? How are you? Come stai? Let's see if our friends can ask il coniglio, how are you? Let's say, come stai? Come stai? Very good! So, I think il coniglio is bad or he's doing good. What do you guys think? Is bad or is he good? Good! So, il coniglio sta male, male, male, male, male. Or il coniglio sta bene, bene, bene, bene. So, possiamo dire, io sto bene! Io sto bene! And you, our new friends, amici, how are you today? Are you male or bene? Bene! We really hope you are bene. So, if you feel bene, can you say it with us? Io sto bene! Molto bene! Very good, you got it! So now, I think it's time for us to introduce ourselves to our new friend, il coniglio. Ciao, ciao, ciao! Ciao! Ciao, ciao, ciao! Mi chiamo coniglio e tu come ti chiami? Mattias! What just happened? Il coniglio asked Mattias for his name and Mattias answered his name. How do we say that in Italian? We say, come ti chiami? Very good, Byron! What's your name? Come ti chiami? And what do we answer? Mi chiamo coniglio! Natalia! Byron! Luca! Francesca! So, let's try this game. Let's have il coniglio introduce all of us. Pronti? Mi chiamo coniglio. My name is rabbit. E tu come ti chiami? Io mi chiamo Luca. L'ultimo! Cinque! Wow! Was that a high five? Si! Cinque! Yeah! Fatti cinque! Cinque! Yeah! Now, we would love to know your name. So, Mr. Rabbit is going to ask you for your name. Mi chiamo coniglio. E tu come ti chiami? Nice to meet you! Very nice to meet you, friend. Amico. It's very nice to meet you. Piacere! Nice to meet you! Piacere! Well, I think we all now know all our names, right? So, we are all friends. We are all amici. Maybe we can say ciao, goodbye to our Mr. Rabbit, il coniglio. Can we do that? In Italian, ciao means hi and bye. That's true! So, we say ciao when we see somebody and we say ciao when we go away. That's a very good point. Bravo, Byron! Cinque! Cinque! Si, cinque! Uh-oh! What do I have here? A ball! Una palla! Cinque ancora! Yes, a ball. Una palla. La palla. La palla arcobaleno. Arcobaleno is rainbow. Yeah, arcobaleno. Can you say la palla? Di arcobaleno! Let's hear you saying it. La palla di arcobaleno. Bravi! Molto bene! Would you like to learn colors? Yes. Yes, that might be useful. Si! Si! Can you say that with us? Do you want to learn colors? Say si! Si! Wonderful! Bravissimi! Okay, so maybe, let's see what we have here. So, what color is this? Giallo! Okay, one more time. La maglietta di Lucas. What color is this? Red. Rosso. C'è qualcuno che è rosso? No. No, non c'è rosso. Un po' di rosso qui. Si, un po' di rosso! Si, rosso! La lingua! Anche tu! Pronti? Si! Verde. Verde? È verde? È verde? Come l'erba? Verde? Verde! Verde, verde! Chi vuole il verde? Io! Molto bene, Byron! Bellissimo! Un altro colore. We have another color. What color is this? Bianco. In Italian, it's bianco. Bianco? Molto bianco! One more time. Tutti insieme! Chi vuole bianco? Francesca, bianco! Another color? Arancione! Very good! Shall we sing? Let's do it! Arancione! Arancione! Il grande cappello che è l'arancio! Possiamo lanciare tutti i cappelli? So, wait, we said arancione, but then we were singing arancio. It's a nickname! I think in Italiano, to say orange, you can say arancione or arancio. You can really decide. You can use both words. They work fine. But you know that arancio also means orange? Who likes to eat an orange? You can't say arancione for the fruit, though. You cannot say arancione for the fruit. You can say il l'arancio è arancione. L'arancio è arancione. Yes, very good point. The orange is orange. Very important, if you go to Italy, don't ask for an arancione, because they would give you a marker and not an orange. Very good. So let's sing one more time arancio. Are we ready to sing all together? Siamo pronti? Sì! Siamo pronti! Allora via! Uno, due, un, due, tre, quattro. Verde, verde, la palla nel prato si verde. Arancio, arancio, il grande cappello che lancio. Arancio! Bianco, bianco, il ciglio si siede che stanco. Bianco, bianco. Giallo, giallo, il grande cavallo col gallo. Sbagliato! Blu, blu, la barca che va su e giù. Blu, blu, la barca che va su e giù. Molto bene! I think that you guys are now amazing in Italian! You know how to say ciao! Ciao! You know how to give a high five! Cinque! Cinque! Cinque! You know how to say my name is mi chiamo. You know how to count to ten! Let's do it quickly! Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette, otto, nove, dieci! Anche come stai? You know how to answer the question come stai? How are you? Bene! Io sto bene! Good! And you know these colors. You know verde, blu, arancione, bianco, giallo! Molto bene! Very good! Well, I think that's it for today! We really hope you had fun learning Italiano! Did you have fun? I did! If you're watching from the hospital, keep your chin up, I'm thinking about you and I hope you get better soon!
