Buondì. As mentioned on Wednesday, this week there’s the Free Trial Online Lesson Offer to take advantage of, if you haven’t done so previously. NativeSpeakerTeachers.com offers one-to-one lessons online in various languages. Their students can try just the one lesson, to see if they like it, and/or purchase five, ten, twenty or thirty lessons at a […]

Buondì. I got an early start today, as Stefi has taken Bug to his petting zoo on the bus. Two buses, actually. Bug likes the bus, so barks happily at people, who pet him. Stefi likes the bus less, and complained that yesterday no one offered her their seat (she has Bug strapped to her […]

Buondì. A quickie today, as the keeper was late arriving at Bug’s petting zoo, then the traffic was bad on my way home. Also, at noon I’ll be online, chatting in Swedish. More about that in a moment. So, New Year, new start, right? My wife and kids spent the last month asking me what […]

Buondì. Oh, and happy ‘taking down the Christmas tree’ day! Since Dec. 27th I’ve been super-busy with the seasonal ‘-20% coupon code offer’ over at NativeSpeakerTeachers.com. Club members will know that I don’t mind knocking out the odd article, but multiple bulk mailings each day, for well over a week, has been rather a bore. […]

Buondì. As I’m only writing regularly on Wednesdays now, by next week it’ll already be next year, and I’ll have missed the chance to wish you Buon Anno. Also to chunter about New Year resolutions, and the things you could resolve to do to improve your Italian (and/or other languages) in 2024. I can do […]
