Which time zone are you in?
Here in Bologna, Italy, as I start writing this, it’s just before twelve noon (on Saturday.)
Lunch has to be on the table for around one, when my younger daughter gets back from school.
So, internet permitting, this article should be zinging into your inbox in about an hour.
The Easter Sale ends on Sunday night.
But of course, Sunday night comes eighteen hours earlier in Australia than it does in Alaska.
Consider yourself alerted, then.
The time to save 20% on online Italian lessons and ebooks for learning Italian is fast running out.
Details of the offer, including the vital coupon code, are at the end of this article.
Now, what about those of you who have already done your shopping, bought your lesson credits, ebooks and so on?
Ragazzi, now comes the hard part!
Would that learning a language were so simple as just whipping out the credit card or typing in your Amazon or Paypal password.
Alas no.
Now you actually have to TAKE those lessons, READ and LISTEN to the ebooks.
There is, in other words, lots of work to be done.
Getting from ‘here’, where your Italian is not as good as you’d like it to be, to ‘there’, the point at which you’ll amaze friends and colleagues with your fluency, is not just going to happen on its own.
That said, getting started is simpler than it may seem.
Sketch out an undemanding study timetable, something that should be easily manageable, even in the tough weeks.
For example, an hour on a Saturday, an hour on a Sunday, and half-an-hour during your lunch break, say twice a week.
Total three hours. That should do it.
Then decide what materials to begin with. Start with something easy, so as to get in some quick wins.
Do the first study session, as you planned.
Then do the next one.
Pat yourself on the back.
Continue.
If you skip a session, don’t be too hard on yourself, but try not to miss the next one.
If you miss several, maybe scale down your amibitions a notch?
But do get started again.
Without too much pressure, but with some regularity, a routine will develop.
You’ll be reading and listening to Italian, taking lessons with a native-speaker teacher, doing the free material on our site.
And still getting on with your normal life.
April will become May, May will become June, and so on.
And when enough time has passed, probably many months, maybe several years, you will be ‘there’.
Buono studio!
