Crime – il crimine

This free Italian vocabulary lesson covers words for crimes and criminals.

LEARNING TIP: it’s easier to learn new words if you can group them in families. Italian has plenty of words that only differ by only a prefix or suffix. A good learning exercise is to write a word down on a scrap of paper, then think of all the similar words you know and write them down too. You will memorize them much faster that way!
