Yesterday afternoon I spent a few hours updating our Italian Lessons Series with the hundred or so exercises we’ve reformatted over the summer (it brought back some happy memories of places and people seen in July and August.) There are still some gaps in our grammar coverage, but for now I’ve had more than enough […]
