Buon giorno a tutti! Today, I have three more Italian grammar exercises for you, and details of our new easy reader! As I mentioned last week, I’m now working on tidying up our recent Italian Lessons series, specifically, finding a home for all the various bits and pieces on our site that need to be […]
New Free Italian Lesson & ‘Flash Offer’ 20% Off Everything!
Today’s free Italian lesson is on the Italian imperative form. There are explanations of the direct (informal) and indirect (formal) imperative forms, there’s a (very short) listening, and there are three interactive exercises to do. Having worked through all of it yesterday, I now know why I find imperatives so confusing…. Click here for today’s […]
Just another Friday, and another free Italian lesson!
It’s Good Friday and a public holiday in the UK, where I originate from. Except in Italy, where I live now, it isn’t. Easter here is on Sunday (a big meal with relatives, of course). And Monday’s a national holiday. So, I’ve a badly-needed long weekend to look forward to. But today, unfortunately, is just […]
Italian grammar lesson on ‘Si’, plus Book Of The Week offer
Ciao a tutti. It’s the first day of ‘primavera’ – finally the winter is over, and not a moment too soon! Better still, there’s a period of holiday coming, so I’ll have more time to work on free materials for learning Italian. Tomorrow, I’ll be preparing a new series of free Italian lessons at A2 […]
Did you know that Italians say ‘suicide yourself’?
A depressed Italian might threaten to ‘suicide herself’ (suicidarsi), which sounds rather absurd in English… Today’s free Italian lesson is on reflexive verbs – the ones ending in ‘si’ – which are much more commonly used in Italian than in English. The example above, with ‘suicide yourself’, is from the lesson. Click here to see the […]

New Free Italian Lesson On Adjectives & Book Of The Week!
The topic for today’s free Italian lesson is ‘adjectives’, which is broad to say the least, but then the whole point of this new ‘Italian Lessons Series‘ is to bring together disparate materials from across the site in a way that will hopefully make them easier to use. In doing so though, gaps emerge. So […]
Learn or revise Italian plurals (plus ‘Amarcord’ reminder!)
Buon giorno a tutti! Just a quickie today, as I have to rush off and teach. Wednesday’s Italian Lesson on articles was a big success it seems – we had a record number of page views that day! And many thanks to Roger who wrote to me with this correction: Just had a quick look […]
Free Italian grammar exercise on ‘pronomi combinati’
I’m typing this in the dark, so expect it to be short. Family holiday, shared room, sleeping child, you get the idea. Plus, because of the crappy hotel WiFi, I have the computer connected to my smartphone’s data connection, which seems to be working well so far. But you never know… So, to get to […]
