(Reading time: 90 seconds) Yesterday afternoon, Donna wrote to complain. She didn’t know about using the coupon code, and so had paid the full price for her ebook. This happened because my articles are too long, apparently. ‘Wordy’ was how she put it. Besides, it’s pretty poor that we advertise a discount, but then make […]

Buondì. A rare Sunday post, as our 2019 January Sale ends tonight and I thought you might like to know what other club members have been spending their ‘learn Italian’ budgets on. Also because, every time I run a sale (which is four times a year – now, at Easter, in June or July, and […]

App attack! (And a January Sale reminder…)
I’ve been using the additional time I’ve had since the school shut down for the Christmas/New Year break to, um, go to the supermarket a lot, cook two meals a day for my family, and wash masses of dishes! Plus, I admit, I’ve drunk quite a lot of beer. And nibbled a lot of nuts. It is, […]
Buon anno! And my New Year language-learning resolution
Tomorrow is Capodanno, which makes this evening ‘la Vigilia di Capodanno’, or New Year’s Eve. Here’s wishing you a good one. We’re having a combo-Swedish/Italian meal this evening. The Italian part will be the traditional lentils, mashed potatoes and zampone. While the Swedish component (the antipasto/starter, first course, call it what you wish) will be […]

Buon Natale, a seasonal song, and various reminders
Buondì. I’m writing this from Rimini, where the tribes are gathering for this evening’s Swedish-style Christmas Eve dinner. Followed, much too soon afterwards, by the rather-more-lavish Italian version at lunchtime on Christmas Day. Guess which goes on longer… I hope you’ll be doing something gastronomically-ambitious, too? I’ll be back again on mercoledì, which Italians call […]
My ‘Natale’ language-learning plans
One of the good things about being a teacher is the school holidays. OK, so there’s the Italian school 2019 ‘Save 20%’ promotion to finish off, which means working right up until midnight on Christmas day. And then, just a few days later, we’ll be having the OnlineItalianClub.com January sale, which is a busy time. […]
Why Learn Italian? (And Where, and How…)
Buondì. I’m busy, busy, busy, this week. Sono molto occupato! It’s the Italian school annual ‘Save 20%’ offer, which means I’m writing articles each and every day. Yesterday, for example, was ‘Why Learn Italian?‘ And today ‘Why Study Italian in Bologna?‘, which contains a subtle hint. You might want to take a look. So that’s […]
