Italian speaking practice and grammar tutoring
This glorious mix of eggs, sugar, and sweet wine is normally associated with autumn or even with Christmas but I have recently eaten it and now I absolutely have to write about it.
If you are interested in Italian literature translated into English and don’t know this publisher, I highly recommend checking its catalog because it has many interesting titles by contemporary Italian authors.
Saint John, San Giovanni in Italian, is the patron saint of many big and small Italian towns, and this makes it a very special day. The day of the patron saint is a public holiday in Italy, and this means that tomorrow many people will be taking a day off if the town where they work celebrates its patron saint.
In fact, I checked my Mailchimp account before writing this post and saw that my very first newsletter was sent in 2015, on March 16th precisely. This means seven years of writing and sending email messages almost every week (the last one I sent was number 332, can you imagine?).
In fact, English has just one verb to express that concept, while Italian has at least three different verbs: uscire, lasciare, and partire. I have seen my students struggle a bit with that, and I thought it could be useful to write a post about this aspect of the Italian language.
