Ciao Islom! 👋 Thank you for your comment 😀
These short reviews of specific small topics are great. I learned these things years ago but details have faded, it's great to have an amusing and engaging review. I feel like Italian is being sliced and diced in a new way - like adding up a page of numbers by columns the first time, and now by rows .. a nice refreshing re-framing of the data.

Ciao Greg 👋 Thank you for this lovely message! We are glad to know that you have been enjoying the Coffee Break Italian Show 🇮🇹 Grazie mille per il tuo sostegno e il tuo feedback!
Dear Mark and Francesca, I listen to your podcast daily, thank you for helping me. Nice to put a face to the voices 😊. I have a question: you said "Luca sa suonare il violino", because he learned how to do it, but he also has to make an effort for this, there are also internal factors. Does in this case "having learned something" win from "managing to". Greetings from the Netherlands.

Ciao Gerda 👋 Thank you for your message 😀 We are glad to hear that you enjoy our podcasts! This is an interesting question: "Luca sa suonare il violino" indeed means that Luca can play the violin because he has learned how to play the violin. The sentence "Luca riesce a suonare il violino" could work in a different scenario, but it wouldn't necessarily convey the idea that Luca has the skill to play violin. È più chiaro adesso? 🇮🇹 Let us know!
Also in having the ability or attributes of doing something you can use "essere in grado"
