In this Rocket Italian lesson we'll be taking a trip to the zoo to talk about all types of animals in Italian – animali! You might have a dog or cat at home, but I bet you don't have a monkey!
After this lesson you'll be able to talk about the animals in your life and also about the more rare animals you don't see every day.
