After the pubblication of the video dedicated to the history and analysis of the first verses of the Inno di Mameli, the Italian national anthem, many of you asked us to publish a second part in which we explain the meaning of the remaining verses. Therefore, in this article we will talk about those verses of the Italian national anthem that nobody knows!

C2… this phantom high level of language proficiency… Being able to reach a “mother tongue” level is a pretty difficult path and it doesn’t matter how many times you’re going to check out grammars or hear people talking: many rules or expressions won’t ever remain impressed, or maybe sooner or later, but with some difficulty. What’s important is not to be discouraged, be aware of your level and work to improve it. Remember there’s nothing wrong with not being able to understand or express everything you want from the beginning!

In this article we will discuss a very important grammatical topic for anyone learning Italian. We will, in fact, deal with the prepositions of place a and in. ANDARE A or ANDARE IN? This is a dilemma that affects every Italian learner, both beginners and advanced, because it really is a bit of a mess!

You have studied Italian for some time now and you find yourself knowing many rules but not being able to properly put them into practice, don’t you? If it’s true, you’re in the right place! Grammar rules in books often seem to be impossible to memorize and to apply to a realistic context, but indeed essential to communicate: the point is to take confidence with them and to constantly apply those rules in a creative way. By “creative way”, I mean more exciting ways than those trivial grammar exercises. There are many ways to practice your chosen language while having fun. In this article, I’ll show you some!

You want to practise your Italian but can’t find anyone to do it with? Don’t worry, we definitely have the perfect solution for you: Speakly! With Speakly you will have the opportunity to speak with real Italian native speakers in a quick and comfortable way, no matter where you are!

In this video we bring you another testimony of the benefits of our individual Italian courses: Mahesh Paolini-Subramanya, CTO at BlockFi, who is in love with Italy, especially with Italian food! Mahesh will tell us about his experience with the Italian language and will give some useful advice to our LearnAmici.
