English/Italian Lessons: How to Wash a Dog/ Come Lavare un Cane

Thank you to Laura of
http://www.youtube.com/thisisitalia
It was very fun to work with her, please check out her channel.
===
We would love to work with her again, and also if any others would like to be in a video like this, please let us know. You'd need to be native Italian and have a good grasp of English
===

Our sweet dog, Emma, is nine years old. She is a great dog, and doesn't mind baths as long as she gets treats and a walk. She is half Australian Shepherd and half mutt.
:)

The other dog that can be seen in a few places is named Marcello Bello the Wonder Schnoodle. He is small enough to get baths in the bathtub in the house.


Strange, somehow YouTube added nearly half a minute of nothing at the end.

It's their fault, take my word for it.

@bowlingballout Actually, if you use "necessitare", then you have to put a direct object, if you use "Avere bisogno" you need to say "avere bisogno DI qualcosa" .

I hope that helped! =)

[Cameronseibona]

@danlinkgan "necessitare" and "avere bisogno" are synonims, even though the latter is more common, especially in spoken italian; when you use "avere bisogno" you conjugate onlly the verb "avere"(to have) and add "bisogno" after it.

Good idea...

We have three episodes taped involving food. When we were in Toronto, we had Grace's mom cook Lasagna, Pizza and Brodo (Soup similar to wedding soup). The Pizza video is going to be the most difficult because we set it up as a "pizza challenge" where she makes her version and I make mine. Now all I have to do is videotape my parts. (That vid has a completion date of March, April or October)

Somehow the day is sunnier and the dog smells better in Italian. ;^)

Could you do a lesson about food? Italian food is named differently in Italy. Specially pasta comes in a shitload of variety with amazing names. I'd love to be educated on that. *drools*

@bowlingballout yeah but when they say ecco cio di avete bisogno, and then they say stabilite che il vostro cane necessiti di un bagno.... why didnt she use the word bisogno?

@canadianstudmuffin

those buttons are just so close together...

@danlinkgan

Good question.

I hope some Italian natives chime in on this...

If I need something, I say, "Ho bisogno qualcosa".

Even in English, there is a thin difference between a "Need" and a "Necessity".
