This episode is based on a notice Mark encounters at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan which states non somministrare cibo ai gatti – don’t give food to the cats.

  2. I’m none the wiser! I still don’t know why I can get: Walk, Talk and Learn Introduction and 001 (Da+infinitive) but not 002. Should I enrol/ pay a fee….?

    • Hi Barbara. Sorry about that – we’ve just realised that the embed link was wrong for this episode so you were seeing the wrong episode. We’ve fixed this now and you should be able to see the episode. Ci dispiace!
