2023 January Sale: the usual ‘best-sellers’ article!
Buondì. The 2023 January Sale ends later this week, so I thought you might be interested in hearing what other club members have been spending their ‘learn Italian’ budgets on. Hence the usual ‘best-sellers’ article. E poi, it’s the first Monday morning in January. Who has ideas on the first Monday morning in January?? So […]
2023 January Sale: Online Italian lesson dos and don’ts
Buondì. As we’re busy with the 2023 January Sale right now, here’s an article from our archive. I’ve been both an online teacher and a language learner, so can see things from both perspectives. Here, then, are a few tips for students who choose to include one-to-one online lessons in their language study programs. The […]
2023 January Sale Starts Today: 20% Off Everything!
Buondì. And how nice that it’s a normal Wednesday, after the festive weekend (and before the next festive weekend…) The shops are open, though daycare isn’t, not this week. No matter, Roomie has taken over my smartphone and is watching Rai YoYo in our bed. My adult children won’t be conscious, so demanding aperitivi or […]
2023 January Sale Starts This Week!
Buondì. The January Sale in our (now two) online stores, EasyReaders.org (ebooks) and NativeSpeakerTeachers.com (1-1 lessons), always begins the week after Christmas. But the way things have fallen this year, with Monday being Boxing Day, messes things up a little. I’m still recovering from yesterday’s lunch, for one thing, and later in the day we’ll […]
Got a library card? I hadn’t used mine since 2015…
Buondì. Regular readers will know that Roomie and I had our wallet stolen, while I was trying to load her and her stroller onto a crowded city-center bus one late-autumn evening. I got the wallet back a week or so later, but only after I’d wasted days applying for new documents (identity card, driving licence, […]
A confusing conjunction (and a useful self-study tip)
Buondì. Monday I invited people to unsubscribe if they didn’t want to receive articles like this one, or to just stop reading until the January Sales are over, so as to avoid me trying to sell them stuff. Plenty of people did, the system tells me, over four hundred of them, and their data has […]
2023 January Sale Next Week – Time to Unsubscribe?
Buondì. Let it be known that next week and the week after, so from Wednesday 28th December 2022 to Friday 6th January 2023, our two online shops, EasyReaders.org (for ebooks) and NativeSpeakerTeachers.com (for one-to-one lessons), will be having their January Sale. Which means that I’ll be publicising a coupon code which, if you apply it […]
Which of these four types of listening do you do regularly?
Buondì. Still busy, now also late, because first I had to take Roomie to the petting zoo, then go to the bank to get new plastic cards (after having been robbed on the bus several weeks back), then finally do a mailing for our Italian school’s annual promotion. You’ll find it here, if you’re interested: […]
