Buondì. Hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. We were in Rimini and got out on the boat a few times. There was wind, which was good, and plenty of sunshine. After an hour or so of zipping across the waves, we got the rather-rusty anchor down and the kids dived and splashed. Later, […]

Buondì. The always-useful online Italian-English dictionary, WordReference.com, gives three meanings for ‘insomma‘, a word you’ll often hear Italians use when they’re chatting. It’s used for concluding what you’re saying, like ‘so’ or ‘I mean’. “Insomma, it’s a very useful word.” It can also mean ‘so-so’, as in: “How are you getting one with your Italian?” […]

Buondì. If you’ve ever been into an Italian post office, you’ll know why I’m later today. It took them an hour to change my daughter’s savings book from a child account to an adult account. When it was finally done (really, it took a whole hour) the teller handed her the new savings book and […]

Buondì. Later this morning we’re off to the beach, for the first time this summer! So I’ll be brief. Today I thought I’d do the, by now traditional, sale-time ‘what’s selling fastest’ article. That way you can find out what other club members have been spending their allowances on, and make sure you get some […]

What’s your ‘learning Italian’ problem? It seems like just about everyone has one, or at least all but the most experienced langauge-learners. Here are a few, and some suggestions. “I’m not good at languages.” Nobody is, at first. Keep at it and you’ll get better. It’s just a matter of time. One useful tip is […]

Buondì. The people behind OnlineItalianClub.com (mostly me, Lucia and a whole bunch of talented freelancers) also sell ebooks for learning Italian and other languages. You probably heard.
