Today I have two more Italian vocabulary exercises for you, neither simple. These are really for those of you with a fairly advanced knowledge of Italian. (If that’s not you, don’t worry!

Two ‘New’ Exercises On The Gender Of Nouns
Today I have two more exercises from the stash of bits and pieces that I’m hoping to integrate with our recent Italian Grammar Lessons series. These two exercises are both worth a look but are probably of greater relevance to those of you who’ve been studying Italian for a while: Masculine or feminine? Irregular nouns […]
Let’s Go To The Circus! (& 3 More Italian Grammar Exercises)
Let’s go to the circus, it’s been years since I’ve been! The last time was in Newquay, Cornwall. My dad paid for us to take the kids. It was raining, as I remember, but we had a great time anyway… But this is an Italian circus, so sure to be superior (if a little mysterious…) […]

Buongiorno a tutti. Today I have the last ‘official’ lesson in our series of free Italian grammar lessons.

New, Free Italian Lesson + ‘Book Of The Week’ Offer
It’s Monday, so time for another free Italian lesson! We’re approaching the end of our ‘grammar lessons’ series, tackling the final few C2 (top level!) topics. From next week, we’ll do something different… Today’s lesson is brief. A short explanation and just the one exercise. But this grammar was new to me, so maybe you’ll […]
Amazing – I got all of these right!
Today’s free Italian lesson is no. 50 in our series and features the relative pronouns ‘che’ and ‘cui’. There’s a brief explanation and two exercises, an easier one and a harder one. But amazingly, I got full marks on both! So there’s hope for me yet. And for you, too, of course. One day, Cinderella, […]
Tense Agreement Exercises (& Easy Reader Offer Reminder)
O.K., today we have one of those topics that Italian teachers love to confuse people with – tense agreement – otherwise known as ‘concordanze verbali’. Sounds horrible, doesn’t it?
