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.

So today, I’m continuing to push the free listening materials on our new site learnitalian4free.com.
As I’ve already told you, it’s still in its embryonic stage, but there are some good audios with transcripts, so no reason why you shouldn’t take advantage already.
This time I’d suggest you listen to/read the nine texts on the ‘Il giorno migliore/peggiore della mia vita‘ (The Best/Worst Day Of My Life) page.
Listen while following the transcript. Then take some time to read it again slowly, without the audio. Finally, test your understanding by listening without the transcript.
And then? On to the next one!
Click here to give it a go.

The restaurant has been in the family for generations, and everyone pulls together to make it a success! But when the chance comes to win an important gastronomic award, the pressure starts to mount…
