Buondì. There was lots of feedback on Wednesday’s article about listening, “Please reassure me!”. What an interesting range of suggestions you came up with! I’ll copy and paste them here below, after the plus signs (+++). If you have time, do read though what people wrote to me and commented on the club website. But […]
“Please reassure me!”
An email from a club member last week ended with a request: “Please reassure me!” Well, I’ll try. But first, a quick reminder about this week’s super-advanced (C2-level) ‘easy Italian reader’ ebook. Bcause, as always, the club has bills to pay. La carriera – dietro le quinte del Palio di Siena is a fictional account […]
New ebook: La carriera – dietro le quinte del Palio di Siena
Buondì. Before I start trying to sell you something, many thanks to the club members who wrote in about the invasion of the black blobs, which has now been successfully repelled. A particularly honorable mention goes to Andy, who shared his thoughts on what may have been causing the problem over the course of several […]
Invasion of the black blobs!
Buondì. Many thanks to John, who ruined my Thursday by writing: I’m enjoying your site. I find the exercises very helpful. However I’m experiencing a problem with accents. They all appear like this: � This renders the exercises useless. Can you please help me with this? Thank you. I told him that the problem was […]
What to do if something’s not working as it should
Buondì. I assume you use one of our websites: OnlineItalianClub.com (the club website – free materials for learning Italian) EasyItalianNews.com (simplified bulletins of ‘easy’ Italian news to read and listen to) EasyReaders.org (our online shop, where we sell ebooks and one-to-one lessons to pay the bills for the other sites) This brief article is about […]
2020’s first half-price ebook ‘Book of the Week’ offer!
Buondì. A new year, and there’s a decidedly ‘back to normal’ feel here at the clubhouse, with the excitement of the holidays, and then the January Sale, but a memory… So what better to get us back into the old routine than one of our periodic half-price ‘Book of the Week’ offers? This week I’ve […]
The two Eyes
Buondì. Here at the OnlineItalianClub.com clubhouse, we’ve had a stressful week due to the unfortunate similarity in spelling between two middle-eastern countries, Iraq and Iran. One is an Arabic-speaking state, currently hosting elements from the armed forces of the USA, the UK and, amongst other countries, Italy and Sweden (supposedly to prevent the resurgence of […]
Another stroll down Memory Lane (part 3)
Buondì. I’ll be brief this morning, as I’ve already spent hours updating the club’s “Best of OnlineItalianClub.com” page. Basically that involved reading through last year’s articles to pick out the ones I think contain something useful (NOT like this one) and add links to them on the “Best of” page. That way they’ll be accessible […]
Riding a fast motorbike slowly
Buondì. Sorry I’m late today. My excuses are: 1.) That I cooked dinner yesterday – a Cornish pasty for an Italian guest who had no idea what it was (we had trouble deciding on suitable anti-pasti…) 2.) The meal generated a moutain of dishes, which I had to wash this morning. There wasn’t time last […]
