Mamma Mia. With what courage can I start talking about the man who is considered the father of the Italian language? I've thought about it a lot: should I do it or not? Will I be able to? In the end, I decided to do it because there is no better year or day than this: Dantedì, the day dedicated to Dante Alighieri, is March 25th and this year we celebrate the 700th anniversary of his death. So ... let's get started! Let's start talking about Dante.Search this episode transcription here: https://onlineitalianclasses.com/category/blog/Do you want to receive the latest episode by email?

This week the world celebrates Women’s day, March 8th. But I’m not going to tell you about great Italian women, even if there are so many, because what I can better do is telling you three simple personal stories: something about childhood, something about youth and something about being a woman in Italy those days. You’ll also find out what a “mimosa” is and why you’d see many yellow flowers if you were in Italy this week.Do you want to receive the latest episode by email?

Today's topic is intelligence. Well, no. Actually we'll talk about many intelligences. In fact, there's an American psychologist and professor who is famous for his theory of multiple intelligences. He thinks we can't say that a person is more or less intelligent, but we can talk about the kind of intelligence that is more or less developed in a certain person. What does this has to do with our main topic? I mean, Italian language, Italians, Italy... Well, you'll find out that this has a lot to do with you learning Italian ;)Would you like to receive the latest episode in your email box?

Today's topic is Carnival, a feast that belongs to the Catholic tradition and that is celebrated in Italy with some differences among the country. Italians have a saying: "during Carnival... every joke counts!" which is pretty true, actually. For example, in the Italian city of Ivrea (Piedmont) every year there's an authentic battle of oranges! Yes, people throw oranges against each other! In the end I'll tell you something about the typical Carnival food and I'll offer you my mother's recipe ;)Do you want to receive the latest episode by email?
