Instructions for language-learning (and for life) – short version

March 5, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. Some instructions for language-learning (and for life). This is the short version, as I’m pushed for time. In no particular order: if you don’t start, you won’t progress it takes a long time to learn a language, and for perhaps a quarter of it, you won’t be able to express yourself, or understand what […]

Got your FREE ebooks? Now make time to read/listen to them!

March 3, 2021 by Daniel 1 Comment

Buondì. Since Monday, we’ve been busy promoting our FREE beginner-level ebooks, for learners of Italian, French, Spanish and German. In around 48 hours, we’ve had 633 downloads, mostly for Italian (we have a much bigger mailing list for Italian) but with reasonable interest in the other languages, too. Below are the titles, which are also […]

“Don’t have time””

March 1, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. My standard ‘father-response’ to the oft-heard complaint from children/teenagers that they just “don’t have time” to do whatever is expected of them – homework, clean their rooms, participate in some fun, family event – was the rather unsympathetic instruction to: “FIND TIME!” This being based on the understanding that “don’t have time” doesn’t actually […]

Good choices

February 26, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. Before beginning this article, I replied to an email from a former student of mine from ten or more years ago – an Italian girl, who needed to pass an exam so she could study at an American college. She’s no longer a girl, has been back in Italy for years, and is now […]

The tide’s in

February 24, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. The company that is bulk-emailing you this article, runs the website, commissions and sells the many ebooks for learning Italian, and organises one-to-one online lessons for a lot of you, too, has its registered office in a small British seaside town. Not its HQ, though. There isn’t one. Like a lot of companies these […]

Losing streak

February 22, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. As mentioned in previous articles, I’ve been working hard with an app on my smartphone to improve my chess. This involves doing lessons, practising with puzzles, and playing games online against people all over the world. Though lately I’ve been losing games online to people all over the world! For a month or so, […]

What to do when you’re feeling too lazy to learn Italian

February 19, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. I think it’s fair to say that most people who know me would describe me as an industrious person, usually busy doing something, not prone to sitting around. Vegetating, for example in front of the TV, is not really my thing. I like to be achieving something! And yet, lately… perhaps because of the […]

Forget the results, focus on the process!

February 17, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. I have a new smartphone. I expect you know what a hassle that can be: transferring apps, signing into things with long-fogotten usernames and passwords, etc. It’s taken me several days to get things back to ‘normal’, so I can read my newspapers, listen to my favourite radio stations, and easily check, no matter […]

Thought life was hard? Think again!

February 15, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. Done with last week’s Free Trial Lesson Offer (it’s over, so don’t bother emailing to plead that you missed it because…), this week I have an ‘eBook of the week’ for you! It’s all ‘sell, sell, sell’ around here, isn’t it? Well not really… Last week I was giving something away, and this week […]

February 14, 2021 by Daniel Leave a Comment

Buondì. I don’t usually email on Sundays, as I’m too busy in the kitchen: washing the dishes, preparing lunch, and making the dough for tonight’s pizza. However, needs must! So here’s a quick reminder – the Free Trial Online Language Lesson offer ends TONIGHT!! Get a 30-minute, one-to-one, online lesson with a native-speaker teacher of […]
