Nice smells today! + What’s selling in the January sale?

December 31, 2015 by Daniel

Today our house in Bologna is filled with the smell of cooking. You notice it in particular as you come in from outside. It’s hard to resist filling your lungs and going ‘Yum! What are we eating?’ First on the gas ring this morning was my largest pot, three-quarter filled with cold water, to which […]

Come to Italy… to get a tattoo?

December 30, 2015 by Daniel

Our latest Italian Conversation, number 37 of 60, is set in a tattoo parlor. Well… I suppose that COULD come in handy if you visit Italy. After all, tatto parlors seem to be one sector of the local economy which has done well during the ‘crisi’. Listen to today’s conversation View all the conversations in […]

Last day at work or school? Maybe this will help.

December 23, 2015 by Daniel

It’s the last day of school here in Bologna, so my kids dragged themselves out of bed with a little more enthusiasm than usual. If you work, it might also be your last day in the office before the winter break. But that does mean there’s a danger that things may drag. Plus there’s a risk […]

Panetteria conversation and ‘the experiential economy’

December 21, 2015 by Daniel

Italy still being in part a cash economy, when I’m queuing at the bank to deposit fees paid by students arriving to start courses at our Italian school, I often bump into the young guy who owns the ‘panetteria’ (bread shop) on the corner.

Fresh Today: Fish Shop Dialogue & New Italian Easy Reader!

December 14, 2015 by Daniel

I’ve always had trouble with the word ‘pescheria‘ (fishmonger’s), which seems to get mixed up in my head with ‘pesche‘ (peaches). That said, ‘pescivendolo‘ (fishmonger) is a lovely word which, with it’s coherent sequence of vowels and memorable stress pattern, rolls delightfully around my mouth! Yup, unlike that ‘pesche’, ‘pesci’, ‘pescheria’ mess, ‘pescivendolo’ is fun to […]
