What did you learn over the weekend?

February 27, 2017 by Daniel

I managed to get some studying done over the weekend, both on Saturday and on Sunday. Only short sessions, but better than nothing. I’m finishing Kapitel 5 of my Swedish book (nearly half way!) And I learnt? Gick. Sounds a bit like baby vomit, but in fact it was my first encounter with the ‘preteritum’, […]

‘Book of the Week’ Final Reminder & More Listenings

February 24, 2017 by Daniel

Today I’m teaching all day, covering for a teacher who’s off. Shame, because Friday is usually my day working at home, when I get lots of things done. Hence I’m writing this yesterday, if you see what I mean. Anyway, just be aware, anyone writing to me or ordering ebooks during Friday office hours, that […]

What to do when your Italian study program hits the rocks

February 22, 2017 by Daniel

Club members will recall that a few months ago you guys chose for me to study Swedish. This was initially supposed to be a demo of how our easy readers and parallel texts could be used to learn a foreign language, even at a beginner level. But frankly, I’d have preferred to study Spanish. Why? […]

“Thanks for such a good read!”

February 20, 2017 by Daniel

Today I have a new ‘Book of the Week’ offer for you. But first, thanks to everyone who supported our club by buying their half-price copy of ‘Rosa la cuoca disastrosa‘. Hope you’re enjoying it… Someone was kind enough to leave a review saying “Thanks for such a good read!”, which is satisfying. So buyers, […]

Two more easy-ish listenings & Book of the Week final reminder!

February 17, 2017 by Daniel

Late again today, as I’ve been trailing around doctor’s offices, pharmacies and finally the CUP (an essential Italian acronym – Centro Unico Prenotazione – the place where you wait in line to book medical tests.) It’s all routine stuff, so don’t bother to write to ask if I’m dying. But it IS very time-consuming. Sorry, then, […]

Whatever happened to the ‘Learn Italian’ checklist??

February 10, 2017 by Daniel

Buondì. I’m later today, as I spent a couple of hours working on the ‘Learn Italian’ checklist, which we talked about a month or so ago. I HAVE been making progress with it, but it has had to take its place after teaching and other committments. But anyway, this morning after answering your emails and […]

Buondì. Today, two more ‘old’ listenings to which we’ve added ‘new’ tasks. And the launch of our new Italian easy reader, which is about Christopher Columbus. First the free listenings. They have a grammar focus, adverbs. The first text was written to highlight adverbs with the regular suffix ‘-mente’ (I always find those easy!) And […]
