Italian speaking practice and grammar tutoring
But sometimes these acts of craziness are rewarded because they change people’s lives, and this is exactly what happened to Alba Donati and her Libreria sopra la penna.
I am really happy to have Erica of Italian For A While, a company that offers immersive experiences in Italy, as a guest today! Her post is really useful because it is about the fear of speaking Italian and suggests ways to overcome it. Thanks, Erica, for your tips!
As a matter of fact, it is a huge topic that requires time and effort, but if you break it into small chunks, it is absolutely accessible and can be easily understood. Learning how to use the Italian subjunctive quickly is not possible, but if you take some time to work on it, you’ll see that it is easier than other Italian grammar topics.
And this is no surprise. First of all, I am an avid reader. I often write about Italian books on this blog, have written graded readers myself, and strongly believe that reading does wonders for improving foreign language skills. Therefore, it’s quite normal that most of my students love reading and look for book recommendations.
Her name is Giulia Borelli, and she’s a colleague I admire a lot. She does an amazing job teaching Italian and spreading her love for the Italian language through her podcast, L’italiano con la storia, and the many other resources she shares on her website. In her post today, she writes about a great way to practice Italian: journaling! Thanks, Giulia, for being my guest and for taking the time to write this really inspiring post.
