Last week we learnt about the powerful “come si dice”, one of those sentences that can really boost and progress your Italian. Did you write it on a sticker note and practiced your "come si dice"?

What a better way to start the year than with a sentence that opens many doors and gives you such power of communication!

Let’s get ready for another Natale (Christmas).

Ever wondered if you are pronouncing an Italian word correctly? Do you think it is possible to actually practice sounds when there is no Italian person around helping you out?

For anyone approaching a new language, verbs could be one of the most dreaded things. Why?

I discovered the world of podcasts in February this year.

Isn’t it great when your family gets behind you? Even better when they read your blog post each week! And even more appreciated, it's if their mother tongue is Italian and your posts are in English, right?

My family of origin lives in Italy, so what do you do? Visit them every year, of course!

It's not often that we find gems of beauty. And when we do, we want to tell the world.

We can pay people to do things for us, write for us, sell for us, speak for us. But we cannot have anyone, paid or unpaid, learn something for us. Unfortunately, we have to put the effort into the task if we want to learn it.
