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.
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.
I have been following today’s guest on Instagram for a long time and I knew she would be perfect for this section of the blog. Pree moved to Italy in 2020 and I have read her Instagram posts about the many challenges she had to face while moving to Italy during such a difficult time.
I love all the seasons but I have definitely a preference for summer and I want to use this post to celebrate the uniqueness of summer in Italy. Summer has some common traits everywhere but there are some peculiar things that belong to a specific country only, so today I’d love to list the Italian ones.
It’s again time for me to interview someone who has decided to make Italy their home and to learn more about their experience and their views of Italy after being here for a while.
I have been (virtually) chatting with expats for years now, I ask them more or less the same questions, yet I am always amazed at how special and unique every interview is.
As you may know, I really love chatting with expats because it’s a great way to see life in Italy from a different point of view and also because I get to (virtually) meet a lot of really cool people with lots of awesome stories to tell. [Read more…]
Every time, it is an opportunity for me to learn more and to see life in Italy through different eyes. When I began interviewing expats, it was because I didn’t want this blog to be too focused on my personal Italian-native experience and I wanted to offer a more accurate view of Italian life.
Today I am chatting again with someone who has decided to make Italy her home and this makes me really happy. I have had this section on my blog for years now and I still am super excited when I have the chance of chatting with an expat. It’s always a real pleasure for me!
Today I have the pleasure of interviewing one of my students, a lovely lady called Susan Dufresne. Susan lives in a place I had never heard of, a small town in Campania called Guardia Sanframondi, and the tales of her life there are so interesting that I asked her to share her experience.
