Buondi! This morning, I’m linking to an article on the ‘other’ website, plus we have some more listenings for you to do. Roberto Gamberini is an Italian teacher, based in Rome I think. I’ve never actually met the guy, but I am always happy to publish anything he writes, as his stuff is so good. […]
More Free Listenings, And The New ‘Book Of The Week’!
Before I forget, ‘Happy Independence Day’ to all club members in or from the USA! And for those of you north of the border, a belated ‘Happy Canada Day’ for last Friday. I think I’m a bit late for Australia day (Jan. 26th) so we’ll skip that. And probably the less said about the ‘United’ […]

“Can you please speak more slowly?”
Yesterday I had an e-mail from Carole asking whether it would be possible to slow down the dialogue in our most recent Italian Conversation. A fair question, and one that might well have occurred to other recently-joined club members. So here’s my reply, just in case you were wondering! The current dialogues are at the […]

How To Book A Taxi ‘In Italiano’ (plus ‘Book of the Week’ last days)
I’m writing at the speed of light this morning, well almost, as I have to be on the other side of town in 45 mintues for the annual meeting of ASILS, which this year is being held in Bologna. It’s a chance to exchange gossip and moans with other school owners, and there’s always an […]
From OnlineItalianClub.com, something old, something new!
New members are joining our Online Italian Club all the time, so I try to recycle things they may not have seen, as well as publishing new materials. Hence today we have something old (a free chapter from our ‘Book of the Week’) and something new (another Italian conversation + transcript). Something old… As most […]
New Italian Dialogue With Transcript: Refusing Invitations!
It’s venerdì, and so time for another free Italian dialogue with transcript from OnlineItalianClub.com! Today we’re continuing the theme of invitations. On Wednesday we were accepting them, whereas today we’re finding excuses not to go… “The pub? Tonight? Nah… Sorry, gotta study Italian!” You get the idea. Here’s the link to listen to today’s conversation: Contesti sociali, Rifiutare […]
Invitations dialogue (plus transcript) & easy reader offer reminder
Today’s new Italian dialogue with transcript is Contesti sociali, invitare qualcuno, which in English would be ‘inviting someone in a social situation’. I have to apologise for the echo on the audio, but it’s otherwise good practice. Listening to and reading the conversations should just take you a few minutes, so do try to fit it […]
