Buondì.
Just a quick one, today.
It’s Saturday morning, the weather is fine, and I hope to get out on the boat.
Hope you’ll be doing something nice, too.
Either way, you won’t want to forget that our Summer Sale ends in approximately thirty-six hours, at midnight tomorrow (Sunday).
And here’s a special message for our existing online students.
Ragazzi, if you’re short on the lesson credits you’ll need to get you through the rest of the summer, go here to get more, at a 15% discount!
The next promotion won’t be until late September.
As for the rest of you, you could give the one-to-one online Italian lessons a go, too.
Why not? They’re inexpensive and fun.
And/or choose material at your level from the more than seventy ebooks for learning Italian in our online shop.
There are workbooks to study, such as ‘The Tenses You Need To Speak Italian‘ or ‘Italian Workout! A1‘.
Or perhaps you’d enjoy an Italian/English parallel text such as ‘Il colloquio‘?
Download the free sample chapter here (.pdf).
There are sixteen of those, at different levels.
See the first twelve here. And scroll down to the bottom of the page for more results here.
But my favourites are the ‘easy readers’.
Why?
Because you get the story AND the audio, and so can be working on multiple skills at the same time.
With easy readers, you’re improving your reading, vocabulary and grammar.
But also your listening and pronunciation.
And because they are mostly narratives, with characters and plot lines, it doesn’t feel like studying so much as reading or listening to a story.
I find that a lot more motivating than, say, studying grammar rules or memorising irregular verbs.
Browse our shop to find a story that interests you.
The easy readers are the ones with red/green covers, the parallel texts (no audio) are pale blue.
Or why not take the plunge with one of our great value ‘bundles’?
For advice on what’s good, drop me an email (tell me your LEVEL!)
I’ll be happy to suggest something that you’ll enjoy.
Anyway, whatever you decide, don’t forget to use the coupon code 2017-Summer-Sale-15%-Off, which’ll get you a 15% discount on the prices shown.
A domani.
