Italian Blog: Language and Culture of the Italian-Speaking World
Several readers found our last blog quite a challenge to translate … well sometimes that’s not a bad thing! However, in order to help you out a bit, here is part of the blog again, except that this time I have highlighted some points of grammar rather than vocabulary. Le grandi pulizie che si fanno in genere (1) in primavera quando l’aria comincia a riscaldare e si possono tenere le finestre aperte (1) a lungo, in Italia si chiamiano ‘le pulizie di Pasqua’ perché durante la Quaresima, poco prima di Pasqua, il prete passa a benedire le case, per cui bisogna pulirle per bene (2) o il prete si rifiuta di dare la benedizione (questo almeno è quello che pensano le massaie!). Anche noi in questi giorni ci siamo dedicati alle pulizie di Pasqua (3) , non perché viene il prete, ma perché domani avremo ospiti dall’Inghilterra, Linzi, la sorella di Geoff con la figlia Jozie.Pags en Italiano

Italian subordinating conjunctions ( congiunzioni subordinative ) connect two clauses, one of which is either subordinate to the other, or dependent on the other clause or a word that's part of the same. Italian coordinating conjunctions ( congiunzioni coordinative ) combine two elements of the same period or two independent clauses together. Examples include: e , anche , neppure , altrimenti , tuttavia , cioè , and pertanto . There are various diverse simboli patri italiani (national symbols of Italy) which represent the Repubblica Italiana, the Kingdom of Italy, and the Risorgimento. These symbols include the Emblema della Repubblica Italiana , Il Tricolore (the Italian national flag), the Inno di Mameli (the Italian national anthem), the stendardo presidenziale italiano (Italian presidential banner), the Festa della Repubblica Italiana , Il Vittoriano , Azzurro (Italy's national color), and Italia turrita .
Luca Lampariello is an Italian polyglot who speaks 9 languages: Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Russian, and Portuguese. Chinese is his latest language project, and learning to speak Thai is a real possibility! When Luca was barely in his teens (13), he began studying languages on his own. As his experience grew, he came to the conclusion that there is no one best way to learn a foreign language, but there are some universal principles. And handy for us, he believes that the principles should be shared with others desiring to learn a foreign language.

There are roughly two kinds of language learners: those that primarily learn through their ears and those who learn through their eyes. I belong in the latter category, and what I write now may not be relevant for those who belong to the first category. My first objective isn't to learn to speak a certain language, but to be able to read it and think it, and after that to be able to write it. We have a thread somewhere about silent periods, and I wrote there that I don't want to speak a language before I can do so fairly fluently. However if I have to opportunity to visit a place where one of my target languages is spoken I will of course drop my all my principles and use every single opportunity to try to speak that language.Este curso le ofrece la posibilidad de intoducirse en el conocimiento de la lenga italiana, permitiéndole obtener una base gramatical sólida y un vocabulario extenso de esta lengua latina.
