January 3, 2021 by Daniel 2 Comments

Buondì. From our archive, and a reminder about the 2021 January Sale, which ends on Tuesday night. The dos and don’ts of taking online Italian lessons Written from personal experience, as I use this method to learn languages (I’m also an online teacher, so see things from both perspectives…) Don’t put off starting. OK, this […]

“Quite ashamed”, “initially nervous”, “out of my comfort zone”

January 2, 2021 by Daniel 2 Comments

Buondì. Why are ecommerce sites like Amazon, but also our own online shop, constantly nagging at you to leave reviews? Well obviously, because it’s great marketing! Products with no reviews are naturally seen as risky. Perhaps they’re very new, or perhaps no one else wants them. Either way… hum… (finger pauses before hitting ‘buy now’ […]

“I remain stuck in the B1-B2 chasm”

January 1, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. The article below, quite a long way below, after the +++, was published this time last year. So given that I’m busy with the January Sale (scroll down to the very end for details), I thought I’d give myself a break today – there are also dishes to do from last night and two […]

December 30, 2020 by Daniel 3 Comments

Buondì. (This article was first published at this time last year, during the January Sale. So if it sounds familiar, you’ll know why! I’ve added progress updates, in italics, so you can see how I got on with my own learning over the last 12 months. For your own purposes, just switch ‘2020’ for ‘2021’ […]

2021 January Sale Starts Today: 20% Off Everything!

December 28, 2020 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. And how nice that it’s a normal Monday, albeit an ‘orange’ one here in Italy. The shops are open, the sun might be shining later, the kids are slumped in front of the TV in their pyjamas – everything is well with the world. Except, it’s NOT a normal Monday… Because today we have […]

A simple way to improve your Italian in 2021: start today!

December 25, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. I’m going to take a break from writing today and instead prepare the Christmas lunch – that’ll be tortellini in brodo followed by lenticchie and cotechino, then a dessert with mascarpone (desserts are my wife’s department). None of that’s suitable for vegans, by the way, but sadly our vegan is stuck in the UK […]

A short film to watch. And the January Sale is coming!

December 23, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. Two brief ‘annunci’ today. First out, I had a polite email from Giovanni, one of our online teachers and author of our ‘Book of the Classic Italian Movie‘ series of ‘easy reader’ ebooks, gently reminding me that if I was going to promote Youtube videos for random strangers (Monday’s article) I might consider directing […]

What a mess!

December 21, 2020 by Daniel

Buondì. Heartfelt sympathies to everyone whose Christmas/New Year plans have taken a further blow with the newest restrictions here in Europe, and in the UK of course, which is soon to be no longer Europe but is so far just as badly off. Our eldest daughter was due home last night but only made it […]
