Ebook reviews are back (maybe)

May 31, 2023 by Daniel

Buondì. Just a quickie today, as it’s the end of the month (lots of bills to pay!) Club member Felice has been helping me out trying to fix the ‘leave a review’ function in our ebooks store. Those of you paying attention will recall me moaning about this problem, which I assumed to be a […]

I went abroad for Sunday lunch

May 29, 2023 by Daniel

Buondì. Being a Brit, going abroad always used to seem like a major undertaking. When I was a kid, it involved getting on a cross-channel ferry to reach France the next day. Once we drove as far as the Alps, another time to someplace in Spain. Obviously things have got a lot easier with low-cost […]

Learning more than one foreign language at a time

May 26, 2023 by Daniel

Buondì. Gotta be brief this morning, as I’m taking my son Tom (voice of EasyItalianNews.com, see today’s P.P.S.) to do the first part of his driving test – the theory exam. I’m not sure how that works exactly. Whether the stuff that he has to study is all about how to drive as dangerously and […]

Read the effing FAQ!

May 24, 2023 by Daniel

Buondì. There are people in the world that read instructions, manuals, and the small print. For instance, me. And there are those who don’t, like my wife, wonderful though she is in all other respects. For the former, I usually write a FAQ, an acronym which stands for ‘Frequently Asked Questions’, and is pronounced like […]

An entertaining farce cum rom com, but not much barbering…

Italian easy reader ebooks - Il barbiere di Siviglia - cover image

Buondì. This morning I published another title in our series of Italian ‘easy reader’ ebooks based on operas, and this time it’s Rossini’s entertaining farce cum romantic comedy Il barbiere di Siviglia. Hair-styling fans please note, there’s very little actual barbering in it. However, as always with new publications, it’s 25% discounted for the first seven […]

Travel advisory

May 19, 2023 by Daniel

Buondì. Walking around the lake in our local park this morning, in the drizzle (Tripadvisor has some nice photos, if you’re curious), I came across – not the usual street gang of aggressive geese, who were nowhere to be seen – but a stork! Picture a turkey-sized bird, but with long spindly legs, an elegant […]

Smaller portions

May 17, 2023 by Daniel

Buondì. Yesterday evening was the Inter – Milan rematch, which is a very big thing in Italian soccer – two teams from the same city battling it out for some title or other, don’t ask me which. My adult son (Tom, voice of EasyItalianNews.com) informed me, after I’d spent half the morning preparing a nutritious […]

Short and sweet – 3 Half-Price eBook Easy Readers from 2017

May 15, 2023 by Daniel

Buondì. Lots of people had opinions about Kindles and the like (the topic of Friday’s article), which was rather a surprise. So it took me a day or two to notice, then to approve people’s contributions. Sorry! Anyway, now they’re all published and visible. Read what other club members think here. Coincidentally, this week we have […]

Kindle version, please

May 12, 2023 by Daniel

Buondì. Does anyone still use an actual Kindle? Rather than a Kindle app on a smartphone or tablet, I mean. Please don’t email to tell me you do. It’s Friday, I’m still convalescing, and so have hopes of doing the minimum at the computer. You could leave a comment on this article, if you wish. […]

Similarities and differences

May 10, 2023 by Daniel

Buondì. A club member who’s currently studying at our Italian school in Bologna stopped for a chat yesterday. Her Italian was really good, and she was clearly keen to practice, so we spoke in Italian, while I was frantically leaving through old folders, looking for something we’d lost and now urgently needed. I apologised for […]
