Riassunto della lezione:
In questa lezione impariamo a dire che una cosa esiste oppure che più cose esistono in un luogo. In inglese si usa there is (dèr iz / thair iz) per una sola cosa e there are (dèr ar / thair ar) per più cose. È molto utile per descrivere una stanza, una cucina, un tavolo o uno scaffale.

Spiegazione parola per parola:
- there is (thair iz) = c’è / esiste, per il singolare.
- there are (thair ar) = ci sono / esistono, per il plurale.
- book (book) = libro.
- chair (chair) = sedia.
- kitchen (kich-en) = cucina.

Pronuncia approssimativa:

- there are: thair ar
- book: book
- chair: chair

La pronuncia è approssimativa e adatta ai principianti.
