Daniel’s Top Ebook Picks!
Buondì. Sorry I missed you yesterday – had to teach. And here at OIC HQ we’ve all got stinking colds, so the cogs are grinding more slowly than usual . But anyway, on Monday I promised to publish my top ebook picks. Now understand, this is a bit like asking a bookshop owner to show […]
I wonder why I delayed starting [my online Italian lessons]?
Buondì. ‘Online Italian lessons:10 x 30-minute lessons‘ is selling like hot cakes this time, with virtually a thousand lessons sold since the start of the month, nearly nine hundred since the start of the ‘Spring Sale’ last Wednesday. Anita kindly left a comment on Friday’s article, the one about possums (and their Irish cousins, the […]
Poets, Possums and Potter
Buondì. As orders come in, for online Italian lessons, ebooks and so on, I enjoy looking at where our customers live. Of course, I send ebooks by email. And online lessons are delivered, well, online. So I never actually post anything, thank God. (Have you been in an Italian post office??) Occasionally, I need to […]
Spring Sale: 20% Discount on Italian Lessons and Ebooks!
Buondì. Yesterday’s article had this rather cryptic title: “Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle, but…“. I guess the connection to learning Italian mightn’t have been immediately obvious. Some diehards did open the email, presumably recognising the sender address. But most were then distracted away, as I’d included a link to a singing […]
“Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle, but…”
Buondì. Today sees the start of spring, in the northern hemisphere at least. In Italy it’s tonight, at 10.58 p.m. Central European Time. Think of me at that moment, as I’ll be doing Olaf the Snowman’s song and dance routine from the magical Disney film ‘Frozen’. Which coincidentally the pre-schoolers and I watched a week […]
There’s a truck coming! Get out of the road!
Buondì. Only kidding, there’s no truck coming. You can relax. However, there is a commercial juggernaut bearing down on you. Hence the heads-up. As previously mentioned, Wednesday sees the start of our Spring Sale, which means the chance to save 20% on online lessons, ebooks and so on. All the usual stuff, but cheaper. Regular […]
Teaching and learning
Buondì (Or should I say ‘Buenos dias’? Duo would be proud.) Yesterday was Thursday, so pre-school day. The sixty-minutes from five-thirty to six-thirty p.m. on a Thursday is the longest hour of my working week. And the one I do most preparation for. Besides shifting the adult-sized classroom furniture, so as to make space for […]
Choices
Buondì. This is a follow-up to Monday’s article ‘Make a new plan, Stan‘. First things first, I am no perfect student, neither am I a language-learning genius, nor (fortunately) an idiot savant. However, experience helps a lot. Suppose you’ve already got your driver’s license for a car/automobile? Then passing your motorcycle test is likely to […]
