Italian teachers’ favorite instrument of torment

September 30, 2015 by Daniel

Italian teachers have lots of ways to make your life miserable. There are the myriad irregular verbs to begin with. Then there’s the ‘congiuntivo’. And conditional sentences – all those horrible -essi’s… But when they really want to show you who’s boss, they let out a wicked cackle and select their favorite instrument of torment: Concordanza […]

A badly-written Italian exercise for you

September 25, 2015 by Daniel

Sometimes you can learn more from what’s done badly than from what’s done well.

And today’s Italian exercise on Pronomi relativi possessivi is a case in point. It’s so badly-written that it actually turned out […]

Bet you’ll find this exercise easier than the last one!

September 21, 2015 by Daniel

Friday’s exercise on Connettivi e congiunzioni subordinanti was quite a challenge, wasn’t it? If it got you feeling depressed about your Italian, today I’m hoping to make amends. I have another exercise on the same topic, which I bet you’ll find easier! I managed 11/12 on my first attempt, compared to just 7/12 for Friday’s. So […]

A quick way to improve your written Italian

September 18, 2015 by Daniel

Today’s free Italian exercise is on ‘Connettivi e congiunzioni subordinanti‘. When I had a look at it just now, it reminded me of the time in 2003 when I’d decided to quit teaching and get a proper job, maybe in an Italian company, or better still a multinational, where it wouldn’t matter if my Italian […]

Some Italian to shout at your teenager

September 16, 2015 by Daniel

One of the questions in today’s free Italian exercise contains the phrase: “La vostra camera è un casino!” which is the sort of thing I often find myself shouting at one or other of my three teenagers. But if you’re picturing their bedrooms as being equipped with, say, a personal roulette table or slot machines with […]

Online lessons offer ends today (& why you should try one!)

September 10, 2015 by Daniel

This is the FINAL day of our online Italian lessons promotion. So there was me, scratching around for a subject line that would be more original than ‘Online lessons offer ends today’. I considered ‘Buy now or forever hold your peace‘, but then put it aside because it didn’t seem like such a great idea. […]
