Tomorrow things will be back to normal here at OnlineItalianClub.com, with just three articles a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Some more Dante, probably. I’ve missed him. Thanks, everyone, for your patience and for supporting the club with your online purchases. We’ve sold over a hundred and forty packs of online lesson credits, along […]

Buona domenica! Hope you’re doing something nice today. I’ve been busy putting together a vegetarian lasagne (with aubergines/eggplants instead of meat) and have just popped it in the oven, so that it’ll be ready for lunch in an hour or so. Which brings me to the point – it’s Sunday, the final day of our […]

We’re on the final lap of the 2019 Autumn/Fall Sale, which ends on Sunday night. That is to say, tomorrow. So there are just under 36 hours left to stock up on online Italian lessons and/or ebooks for learning Italian, and save 20% while you do so! First, find materials for your level on our […]

Buondì. Day Five of the Autumn/Fall Sale, which has been a lot of work so far! So today, a short article about our Autumn/Fall Sale bestsellers, so you’ll know what other club members are buying before the promotion ends on Sunday night (at which point it’ll be too late…) As with every sale we do, […]

Buondì. It’s Day Four of the Autumn/Fall Sale. And so what am I going to write about that most club members haven’t read many times before? Yesterday evening I was conscripted to do a short English conversation class, during which a student asked me that perennial question: did I think she should watch ‘Friends’ in […]

Buondì. Here we are on Day Three of our Autumn/Fall Sale, which started on Monday morning and ends sometime during the night this coming Sunday. So far, approximately fifty club members have bought online Italian lesson credits at 20% off the usual price! And of course there have been ebook sales, mostly Italian but also […]

Buondì. Yesterday I was working at the school, which meant a mix of sitting in an empty classroom with my laptop computer and helping out on reception, chatting with people, giving information and so on. Someone called from England to ask when she could start her course. A very keen American couple came in, late […]

Buondì. Hope you had a nice ‘fine settimana’, relaxed, ate good things, studied Italian… And here we are again, è già lunedì… But as promised, it’s time for the Autumn/Fall Sale! Those of you who’ve been with us for a while will know that we do four sales a year, spaced out so that people […]

Buondì. In Wednesday’s article I mentioned a rude gesture from Dante. However, being British not Italian, I admit to not being an expert on gestures, except for the one with the middle finger, of course. What’s more, I was in rather a rush that day, and failed to properly research the subject, which I have […]

Buondì. Today’s Dante extract (Canto XXV) has helpful instructions from our culture expert, Francesca, on how to do the obscene gesture that one of the damned souls makes towards heaven above. It’s one you see all the time here in Italy, yet only now do I realise what it signifies! In questo canto [Vanni Fucci […]
