iPhone user? Please try again

July 31, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. iPhones are the bane of my life. No offence is intended – two of my children own those infernal (and expensive) gadgets. But when it comes to customer service issues, there’s often an iPhone involved. For example, someone wants to subscribe to EasyItalianNews.com. You enter your email (let’s say it’s a Gmail but you […]

Il sincretismo?

July 29, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. I learnt a new word this morning, while proof-reading and listening to the latest installment in our free, thirty-part series of articles with audio, ‘La storia di Roma.’ Sincretismo. If you’re unfamiliar with it, there’s an explanation at the start of Episodio 8. Il sincretismo culturale tra Grecia e Roma. Though you can probably […]

History is complicated. Geography, too.

July 27, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. I’ve just been listening to/reading Episode 7 in our free, thirty-part series of articles ‘La storia di Roma‘. So far we’ve covered about five hundred years from the mythical beginnings of Rome, and there’s still a long way to go. The Romans have gone from zeroes to heroes and are now busy wiping out […]

What happens next?

July 24, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. Hopefully it’s about to rain in Bologna this Friday morning, which will supposedly bring lower temperatures for most of the rest of the day. It’s getting windy and the sky has turned grey, both excellent signs that something good is about to happen! So I’m writing this while sitting in an armchair facing the […]

Why do we say a Pyrrhic victory?

July 22, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. Why do we say a Pyrrhic victory? You probably already know, but it’s explained, I’m not sure how accurately, in the latest installment of our free 30-part series of articles with audio, ‘La storia di Roma‘. Wikipedia has what is probably a more precise and informative explanation. But who cares? The purpose of our […]

More about life in ancient Rome…

July 20, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. Episode 4 of our free series of articles with audio for students of Italian is ready for you to read/listen to, when you have a minute. ‘Vita da Romani’ covers such fascinating topics as childbirth, the fate of newborns, the daily lives of aristocratic boys and girls, the power of the head of the […]

Buondì. For those who are enjoying the ‘Roma’ series, below is the link to no. 3 (out of 30!) Episodio 3. Roma al tempo della repubblica (509 a.C.) If you’ve been putting off beginning, you’ll find the previous two ‘episodes’ on the History page of the club website. E invece, over on the Literature page […]

La storia di roma, and other FREE stuff for learning Italian

July 15, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. Yes, I’m very late today, sorry! That’s due to me having been busy preparing the remaining 29 episodes of ‘La storia di roma’ this morning. It was more time-consuming than I had expected. You can see what’s coming over the next couple of months on our new ‘History’ page, here. Only two ‘episodi’ have […]

FREE! New series of articles with audio: ‘La storia di Roma’

July 13, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. A super-short one today, as I am absolutely exhausted from a week of ‘Summer Sale’ (which is now over, by the way) and because we have the beginning of our new, 30-part FREE ‘History of Rome’ series. I’ve just been formatting, editing and listening to Episodo 1, and very interesting it is, too. I […]
