Buondì. A decades-old computer programer habit, when packaging up multiple files together in a folder, is to add a very simple .txt file named ‘read me’ or similar. Anything the buyer or user needs to know, in order to make the software function, i.e. which of the other enclosed files to click on first, is […]
The end of the world is nigh!
Buondì. Sorry, an unwanted ‘l’ somehow got into that title. What I intended to write was “The end of the word is nigh!” For lo, there came a time when people no longer read, or wrote. Communications from that age on were only spoken (Youtube ‘how to’ videos), or for those with feelings to express, […]
Half-price Italian ‘eBook of the Week’: Cielo libero (A2)
Buondì. This week we have a half-price ‘eBook of the Week’ promotion for you. This one is Cielo libero, the level is A2 (pre-intermediate), and for the next seven days it costs just £3.99, rather than the usual £7.99. We’ve done a promotion on this title before, a couple of years ago, so it’s likely […]
Why you should always check the expiry dates
Buondì. I’m an avid supermarket shopper, and patronise three different food stores in my neighbourhood each week. Actually, there hasn’t been much else that I’ve been allowed to do over the last twelve months. Shopping for ‘necessities’, however the Italian state chooses to define them, is always permitted. One of the three shops is my […]
Why I LOVE two-star reviews! (And how to leave one…)
Buondì. You’ll be aware that we have an online shop, as well as totally-free-to-access websites like OnlineItalianClub.com and EasyItalianNews.com. The shop pays the bills for the free content. It’s a separate site, in part so people don’t get confused, and in part for technical reasons (the software setup varies, for example.) And where there’s a […]
Back to language-learning!
Buondì. Well, we’re all pretty exhausted here at club HQ, after a week of Spring Sale (now concluded). Processing hundreds of orders, which come in day and night from every time zone, is very wearing, especially when we run up against the odd ‘problem customer’. The vast majority of people are very nice, though, and […]

What’s selling like 20%-Off hot cakes in the 2021 Spring Sale?
(This is a modified, mish-mash of two articles published in March 2020, as I’m rather too busy with the Sale to write anything new. Things will be back to normal on Monday!) Buondì. It’s human nature to want what other people have, not in the tenth commandment sense of coveting your neighbours’ goods but, for […]
2021 Spring Sale: Your Lockdown Italian Skills Workout!
(This article was published twelve months ago, in the 2020 Spring Sale, just when we were all locked down for the FIRST time… I’ve updated the coupon code, so it’s valid for this year’s promotion, which began yesterday. Also the sales figures, so you can see what others are buying. Other than that, though, I’ve […]
