Buondì. The January Sale is nearly done (as always, it’s been a lot of work) so I thought you might be interested in hearing what other club members have been spending their ‘learn Italian’ budgets on. Hence the usual, end-of-sale ‘ebook best-sellers’ article. E poi, it’s the first Friday morning in January. Who has ideas […]

Buondì. Here’s another article from our archive, and a reminder about the 2022 January Sale, which ends on Sunday night! The dos and don’ts of taking online Italian lessons Written from personal experience, as I use this method to learn languages (I’m also an online teacher, so see things from both perspectives…) Don’t put off […]

(This article was first published during last year’s January Sale. I’ve updated the links and added a few notes, but otherwise it’s the same. New Year resolution: work less!) Buondì. Why are ecommerce sites like Amazon, but also our own (now two!) online stores, EasyReaders.org and NativeSpeakerTeachers.com, constantly nagging at you to leave reviews? Well […]

Buondì. The article below, quite a long way below, after the +++, was published this time last year (now two years ago!) So given that I’m busy with the January Sale (scroll down to the very end for details), I thought I’d give myself a break today – there are also dishes to do from […]

Buondì. (This article was first published at this time two years ago, during the January Sale, then again last year! So if it sounds familiar, you’ll know why! I’ve added progress updates, in italics, so you can see how I got on with my own learning over the last 12 months. For your own purposes, […]

Buondì. And how nice that it’s a normal Monday, after the festive weekend (and before the next festive weekend…) The shops are open, the kids are slumped in front of the TV in their pajamas, and everything is well with the world. Except, it’s NOT a normal Monday. Because today we have the start of the […]

Buondì. I was up early this morning, to ride my motorbike across the dark city, to the hospital where they take the blood samples that are required every fortnight so as to regulate the dose of the latest molecule which the medics assure me will serve to keep these articles coming each Monday, Wednesday and […]

Buondì. Just a few minutes ago I pressed ‘send’ on an email which is part of our Italian school‘s annnual ‘Save 20%’ promotion. What that involves, basically, is publishing an article on the school website, then copying the text into an .html document, formatting it correctly, saving the file, accessing one of our two mailing […]

Buondì. A super-quick and very commercial article today – sorry about that, but we have people to keep in their jobs, and it hasn’t been an easy period… Next Monday, so Dec. 27th 2021, our January Sale begins. For the week between Christmas and New Year, and the week after that, you’ll be able to […]

Buondì. The last year and three-quarters hasn’t been ‘normal’ at all, I think you’d agree. Which makes it particularly difficult to work out what’s going on with the club website, and with the other websites we run. During the lockdowns, we had some of our best ever numbers, and lots of participation (for example, in […]
