In this video we asked the Spanish teacher Marta Tardáguila Del Castillo to tell us her opinion about racism and sexism in Italy. We asked if, according to her, there are episodes of racism and sexism here in Italy and how would they look. What she told us is very interesting!

In this lesson I’m going to teach you how to make a super quick cake! With only 10/15 minutes of preparation time (and 20/25 minutes of cooking time), you will have a light, delicious and…quite healthy cake everyone will love: La Torta al Cioccolato con Pere! At the end we are also going to clarify a delicate matter regarding the prepositions used when talking about food!

In this video-lesson we will talk about a topic that’s very, very close to the hearts of Italians. As you know, food is an important part of our culture, and exactly because we are “the homeland of good cooking” we care a lot about our culinary traditions, that however can’t be followed by everyone. In this lesson i will tell you about 10 dreadful unacceptable mistakes that many foreigners (and not just them) make when they try to cook Italian dishes.

In this video we’ll be talking about a very interesting topic, which i’m sure will interest many of you: I’ll tell you all you need to know about coffee and show you the difference between the several types of coffee you can find in Italy: espresso, cappuccino, marocchino, espressino, macchiato, corto, lungo, ristretto and so on!

In this lesson we want to talk about three widely used words that can often create a bit of confusion for those who are learning Italian: PRONTO, RAPIDO and PRESTO. These three terms have, in fact, similar meanings and, sometimes, they can be used in the same contexts. However, you must be very careful because they are not actually interchangeable and require completely different structures.

Have you ever heard the verb “dire” (to say)? Yes, exactly, one of the most used verbs in Italian. So, i bet you’ve said it again and again so many that you are feeling sick. And all of us are sick of hearing it. In this lesson i will show you 100 alternatives for the verb DIRE that will be very useful to enrich your spoken and written Italian! I know, 100 alternatives sound like a drag… but don’t worry: I have no intention to bore you with a long and tedious list of words!
