October 30, 2017 by Daniel

Easy Italian readers - Leonardo in riva all’Adda - cover image

Buondì. No refurbished vocabulary exercises today, as we have a new Italian easy reader out (and the club has bills to pay!) This one’s called Leonardo in riva all’Adda. Here’s the blurb that would be on the back cover, if it had one (it’s an e-book!) “Everyone knows that Leonardo is a genius, and one […]

Italian food words & definite articles. Woof, woof, sizzle!

October 27, 2017 by Daniel

Buondì. Today we’re at ‘C’ for ‘cibo’ (food). It won’t be a surprise if I tell you that, in Italy, what’s for dinner is definitely everyone’s favourite subject. A standard piece of advice for English teachers here, who might be worrying about whether the material they’ve planned for their class will be sufficient, is “Ask […]

October 23, 2017 by Daniel

Buondì. A quick one today, as I have a lot to do (things got backed up over the weekend…) This morning I’ve been continuing with the spring-cleaning over at the vocabulary section of the club website. Specifically, I’ve been tidying up this page about personality adjectives. It’s just a short list of words, with English […]

‘Grazie’ to Marta the intern, gone but not forgotten

October 20, 2017 by Daniel

Back in the early days of OnlineItalianClub.com, we had an ever-changing team of interns working on the club website. In the beginning. as I recall, they were ably-lead by Daniele, who had piercings in parts of his face that made me wince. Besides managing his team, Daniele also put together ‘The Tenses You Need To […]

You made your bed. Now lie in it!

October 18, 2017 by Daniel

“You made your bed. Now lie in it.” What an unsympathetic, but useful, expression! The Italian equivalent is: “Hai voluto la bicicletta? Adesso pedala!” (You wanted the bike? Now pedal!) OnlineItalianClub.com was a casual idea that popped into my head one day in 2012. Since then it has grown rapidly, into a monster which now […]

October 16, 2017 by Daniel

Buondì. Today some more Italian vocabulary for you to learn (or revise). The two pages I’ve re-written this morning, and link to below, cover words for describing appearance. For example, I’ve got thinning brown hair, plenty of grey stubble, and a puffy look that suggests I have a cold and didn’t sleep well as a […]

A low-tech way to boost your Italian vocabulary

October 11, 2017 by Daniel

Buondì. Mercoledì, and the quest to improve the vocabulary section of the club house continues! Hundreds of people from around the world looked at Monday’s ‘L’ambiente e il riciclaggio‘, which is great! So today, we’re up to line four, ‘Animali 1‘, surely a staple of every low level language course! This one doesn’t, yet, have […]

A vocabulary exercise for you to try. And a metaphor!

October 9, 2017 by Daniel

Buondì. This morning I’m continuing my recent effort to ‘tidy up’ the clubhouse by ‘recycling’ some ‘waste’ pages in our vocabulary section. And yes, you guessed – today’s topic is ‘L’ambiente e il riciclaggio‘. What you get is a list of words and approximate English translations. So far, so banal. But what you DO with […]
