Buondì. I’m rather late today as we had to drive the lion cubs to their day zoo. The smaller one isn’t used to the car, so howled most of the way. On the way back from the other side of town, I stopped at Lidl for supplies: two flavors of Estathé (popular with children in […]
The Renaissance, Episode 4 / 25% Off New Ebook Easy Reader
Buondì. Hope you had a good weekend, or at least one that was cooler and less chaotic than ours! We have a smaller version of Roomie staying for a few days, as the zoo keepers are on strike, or something. Our Roomie is jealous as hell, which manifests itself as her refusing to eat, but […]
The most fashionable place in the western world in 1492?
N.b. At some point in the next 24 hours we’re expecting all our online audio, which is hosted by Soundcloud.com, to go down, so ebooks and websites including this one. The only exception will be EasyItalianNews.com, which is hosted by Amazon, thank goodness. Why will nearly all of our audio become unavailable? Well, we moved […]
The Renaissance, Episode 2. Wanna come to an orgy?
Buondì. This time two years ago I remember feeling a little disorientated, lost in the mists of pre-history and discussions on the origins of Rome. This time last year, similarly, I was reluctantly coming to term with the fall of the western Roman empire and the seemingly endless succession of confusingly-named Italian kings that succeeded […]

2022 Summer Sale: it’s not what you spend, it’s what you do
Buondì. I tested positive again yesterday, though my wife was negative, which meant she could put Roomie in her stroller and go buy beer. Roomie’s status is ‘presumed negative’, as she doesn’t have symptoms and, in any case, no one who values their eyes and fingers will contemplate twirling a cotton tipped plastic stick in […]
2022 Summer Sale: the usual ‘ebook best-sellers’ article
Buondì. (Still got COVID, still feel lousy, and still have Roomie getting under our feet 24 hours a day – so here’s another rehashed article from a previous sale. Sorry! The coupon codes and links should be good for this one. The sales data isn’t updated, though it’s still a good guide to what’s typically […]
2022 Summer Sale: Online Italian lesson dos and don’ts
Buondì. I was going to write something new today (to promote this week’s Summer Sale), but the temperatures have been extreme, we have Covid, and so are isolating. Which means being confined to an overheated house with Roomie, who can’t go to daycare, and none of the usual distractions such as parks, and supermarkets. Imagine […]
