2019 Summer Sale Best-Sellers!
Buondì. It’s Friday, it’s hot, and the Summer Sale has been a lot of work… So I’ll keep this short. Today, I thought I’d do an article about our Summer Sale bestsellers, so you’ll know what other club members are buying before the ‘Summer Sale’ ends on Sunday night (at which point it’ll be too […]
A word that always comes out wrong when I type it is…
Buondì. A word that always comes out wrong when I type it is… (you won’t believe this)… langauge Dunno why. Ironic though, isn’t it? I’m quite proud of my ability to type with all ten fingers without looking at the keyboard. But there are some words that just come out wrong, as if my fingers […]
9 ebooks for learning Italian we’ve published since July ’18
Buondì. I was looking back at what I wrote on the Wednesday of last year’s Summer Sale, hoping for inspiration. But didn’t find any.

Too hot to study? Lost interest? How to unsubscribe
Buondì. It’s really, really hot in Italy right now. I’ve stopped with the afternoon walks, I’m leaving the shutters closed at home, and drinking more water and tea than usual (and sadly, less beer and wine) – all emergency, heat-combatting measures! The ‘easy Swedish news’ site I listen to each day is closing down for […]

Buondì. Yesterday was a slow day at the school so, following my own advice in Monday’s article – Time for a seasonal language-learning rethink – I decided to take a couple of hours and self-evaluate my progress with Swedish. I passed the A2 Swedex exam back in September, which was a proud moment – my […]
Time for a seasonal language-learning rethink
Buondì. Things are very, very quiet on the Internet at the moment, probably due to the good/bad weather. There’s a heatwave in Europe, with temperatures expected to hit 40 degrees Celsius in some places, though ‘only’ 36-37 where we are in Bologna. Did you know Celsius was a Swedish scientist? Neither did I. But anyway, […]
