Talkin’ World War III Blues

February 28, 2020 by Daniel

Guaranteed Virus-Free Ebooks!

February 26, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. So far it’s been a rather trying week, and it’s only Wednesday morning! On Sunday afternoon my teenage son gleefully informed me that his school would be closed for the coming week, due to the coronavirus. Which meant we had to make a hurried decision whether to open OUR school the following morning, and […]

What do I think? Plus a new ‘eBook of the Week’ offer

February 24, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. Sydney, who is presumably a college student, emailed: “I love your site, especially the news service you provide. I’m spending my first semester in Italy (got here in January!) and have recently learned about the debate (at least in the Florence English speaking community) about using expat versus immigrant. I’m curious to hear your […]

This week: the Free Trial Online Italian Lesson Offer!

February 17, 2020 by Daniel

(The articles I’ll be publishing this week are similar to those published in November 2019, at the time of our previous Free Trial Lesson Offer.

A crafty marketing ploy

February 14, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. Renee emailed about last Friday’s rant: The problem you had with Gail – whether it’s a real one or perhaps a marketing ploy / strategy, I don’t care – can be solved by letting readers create their own exercises. There is an interesting website – not for free but affordable – where you can […]

Combination therapy

February 12, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. Here’s an expat reminiscence for you (I’ve been living in Italy for over twenty years.)

Back in the day, I […]
