What you’re learning when you’re NOT looking up new words

September 28, 2018 by Daniel

Before I begin, have you listened to Thursday’s Easy Italian News, yet? If not, listen to it today because there’ll be another one out tomorrow (Saturday) morning. No pressure or anything… The feedback we’ve been getting on the new website has been nearly 100% positive, which is great. And there’s been much MORE of it […]

Three things

September 26, 2018 by Daniel

Buondì. This morning I have three things to tell you. I’ll try to deal with them as rapidly as I can because I have a Swedish lesson in an hour and I haven’t, yet, done my homework, washed the dishes or prepared the kids’ lunch. 1. The Wednesday rant There’s a new edition of ‘Easy […]

The most useful expression I ever learned

September 24, 2018 by Daniel

People often write to me that they “don’t know enough words” to express themselves in Italian. And that they therefore feel reluctant to speak. A complaint which seems a little back to front to me. Well OF COURSE you’re not going to be able to communicate in your second language as well as you do […]

Deadlines / Keyboard Maps / Easy Italian News / BotW!

September 21, 2018 by Daniel

When I was a schoolboy, and then later a university student, I would treat a deadline (say for a homework or essay assignment) as advance warning of some sort of impending disaster. I’d get ready days, even weeks, beforehand. My essay would be completed and ready to hand in before most of my peers had […]

“Remind me not to forget to read and listen to…”

September 20, 2018 by Daniel

An extremely rare, and very brief, THURSDAY post from OnlineItalianClub.com. Why? Because this morning I published the Thursday edition of ‘easy Italian news’ at our new site EasyItalianNews.com. Then a couple of hours later, I looked at the stats. 203 people have read/listened to the Tuesday edition so far today. About two thousand people saw […]

Yesterday’s news

September 19, 2018 by Daniel

Buondì. Yesterday (Tuesday) we published the first ‘proper’ version of ‘Easy Italian News’. Not just text and audio. Now there are colours! And pictures! You can read and listen to it here: https://easyitaliannews.com/easyitaliannews-com-18-settembre-2018/ I won’t tell you it’s ‘good value’. I’m not going to promise you it’s ‘cheap as chips’. It’s free. So take a […]

More ‘easy news’, Book of the Week, and why you should click

September 17, 2018 by Daniel

Did you know (you probably didn’t) that only about 25-30% of people who have chosen to receive articles like this via email, each Monday, Wednesday and Friday, actually seem to open them? I guess people are busy. And that, of those who open the articles (this is the bit that has me scratching my head…), […]

This is where revenues from ebooks are being reinvested

September 12, 2018 by Daniel

Buondì. I’ve spent around £600 this week on writers and a new website. Say the equivalent of about a hundred and fifty £3.99 ebooks. That’s more or less the revenues from the last couple of ‘Book of the Week’ offers. I’ve always said I reinvest the proceeds of ebook sales, though it’s not as easy […]

Reflections on reading and listening. And a new ebook offer!

September 10, 2018 by Daniel

Newspaper articles in a foreign language are HARD. You probably know that. But the adverts are easier. They’re designed by professionals to effectively communicate a particular message. The copywriters don’t care if your reading skills are iffy. They just want you to buy their client’s stuff. I probably mentioned, I have a three-month free subscription […]
