Today’s free Italian lesson covers the conditional past, a necessary building block before we cover the more complex conditional sentences later in this level.
It’s quite short, with grammar that shouldn’t prove too intimidating and just the one exercise.
This isn’t because we’re getting lazy here at OnlineItalianClub.com HQ, or because we’ve spent our budget for free online materials.
It’s just that it’s hard to write exercises for the conditional past without including grammar we haven’t got to yet and is likely to confuse.
A case of less-is-more.
Beh, anyway, here are the links you need. Buono studio!

Before I go, a quick final reminder of our Book Of The Week offer, which ends on Sunday night sometime
Until then, I soliti ignoti can be had for half the usual price – just €4.99 instead of €9.99.
What you get for your hard-earned euros, dollars or whatever is a .pdf ebook, which is viewable on just about every device and can be printed.
There are eight chapters, each with an exercise and a short glossary of difficult words.
There’s also a link to the audio of the story, which you can listen to as often as you wish. Personally I’d advise that you listen and read together, then later read it again at your own pace without the audio, before finally listening without the text.
This really is useful material, as good as anything you can buy elsewhere, and available almost immediately. I promise to e-mail your e-book within a maximum of 24 hours (or your money back), though I usually manage it in much less than that.
Whatever your level, you could spend a useful couple of hours on I soliti ignoti, or on one of our thirty-odd other titles at different levels.
You’ll learn some new words, improve your confidence with written and spoken Italian, and revise key grammar points.
All for the price of a beer, or one of those fancy lattes…
But you don’t need to take my word for it: check out the FREE SAMPLE CHAPTER (.pdf), which also includes a link to the entire audio version!
Then, if you think the free sample chapter is worth 62.5 euro cents and want a good deal on seven more like it, give your Italian a boost by
- buying the full version of I soliti ignoti (before the offer ends on Sunday night)
- browsing all our e-books for learning Italian, or
- trying our affordable online Italian lessons, with your own personal teacher
That’s it for me. Done with grammar, done with selling. A shower now, and I’ll be off to work.
Have a good Friday, and a great weekend!
