Back to Basics: Italian Pronouns (1) Direct Pronouns

July 31, 2013 by Daniel

Time for some more grammar that I really should have learnt a decade or so ago, but somehow managed to avoid by prioritising trivia like earning a living and bringing up children. This time, by popular request, Italian pronouns! Given that people seem to find pronouns a confusing area, I’ll be tackling them in bite-sized […]

How to say “I like” in Italian

July 30, 2013 by Daniel

One of the advantages of taking a formal Italian course or using quality self-study materials is that you’ll spend your time and energy on the grammatical essentials, rather than waste time on crap you’ll never use (passato remoto, anyone?) But I learnt Italian “my way”, without a proper course or decent materials, and consequently, after […]

Why it’s OK to be scared and make mistakes

July 26, 2013 by Daniel

Starting to learn Italian is exciting, but it can also be terrifying when you suddenly find yourself unable to understand anything or express yourself.

Skype Offer Ends: So Now What Shall We Do?

July 22, 2013 by Daniel

That’s it. We sold all sixteen  “special offer” Skype Italian lesson slots we had available, so the price has reverted to normal.

July 21, 2013 by Daniel

I’m writing this from San Giuliano Mare, Rimini. It’s a small part of a large-ish resort on the Adriatic sea, on Italy’s east coast. Opposite Croatia. My wife and two daughters and I went for a walk along the seafront after dinner last night (see picture). You know how this works: as soon as we […]

The fastest way to learn Italian?

July 18, 2013 by Daniel

Taking an Italian course or working from a self-study book is all very well…. you can definitely improve your Italian with either method. But neither way is exactly fast. We all know that it takes time to learn a language, and that patience is a virtue (thanks mum!) Patience. Time. Yawn. But, hey, what if […]
