Buondì. No, not THAT sort of exclusive club, silly! I was listening to a marketing podcast yesterday evening, and the interviewer made some remark to the guest along the lines that normal people these days (so you and I) get served by algorithms such as voice mail or A.I. (artificial intelligence) systems rather than by […]

In the end, that’s more or less all that matters with langauge learning – managing to stay interested in the long term, over the months, […]
Dante sets off on his misadventures. And two more FREE poems!
Buondì. Dante il gatto vagante of course, not Dante the writer who died in 1321. I published the free sample chapter on Friday, you’ll remember. Several people wrote to say they liked it.

Venice and cats, what’s not to like?
Buondì. It’s a rare Friday morning that I don’t already have ideas about what to write to club members.

It’s the wild west out there
Buondì. Short one today. I know, I always say that, but this time – really! The vegetarian daughter is coming home from college this evening, so I’m busy brewing up a concoction of borlotti beans (otherwise known as cranberry beans, apparently) and whatever vegetables and bits I can find from the neglected veg compartment at […]

Daniel’s Top Ebook Picks!
Buondì. Sorry I missed you yesterday – had to teach. And here at OIC HQ we’ve all got stinking colds, so the cogs are grinding more slowly than usual . But anyway, on Monday I promised to publish my top ebook picks. Now understand, this is a bit like asking a bookshop owner to show […]
