We’re back with another video in the “Smettila di dire…” series, and this time we’re going to talk about the little word “because”, one of those words that, when you wonder how to replace them, seem to have few alternatives. Actually, as we’ll see, it’s always possible to say things in many different ways, and this word is no exception either. In this video I’ll show you the alternatives to “because” in all its different uses, obviously giving lots of examples.

In this video, we interviewed Marta Tardáguila Del Castillo, who has been living in Italy for a long time. We asked her about her negative experiences in Italy and what she thinks could be improved. Her answers were very interesting!

I wanted to prepare some traditional Italian dishes and I had an idea: LearnAmo is environmentally friendly and passionate about minimising all type of waste, especially food waste, so I thought I could teach you 3 Italian delicious and ZERO-WASTE recipes that you can easily do at home, in a short time and at a low cost! The three recipes I’m talking about are spaghetti all’assassina,  risotto al limoncello and focaccia di pane! These are Italian recipes, so it goes without saying that they are rich in tasty carbs!

Movies and TV Series are one of the best ways to spend time and learn a new language in a fun and carefree way. Unfortunately, many streaming websites do not offer the possibility to access them when you are in another country: this is the case, for example, of the Italian TV channels Raiplay and Mediaset Play, which do not allow those who are outside of Italy to watch movies, TV series and programs available for Italians. Don’t despair: there is a solution to this problem! Have you ever heard of VPN? In this article we will explain what a VPN is, what are the best VPNs in the world and how a VPN can help you access all existing websites… including those with geo-restrictions!

One of the many characteristics of us Italians is that we are very superstitious and, even if we don’t want to admit it, everyone of us as thought at least once “it really is bad luck” or, on the contrary, “this is really a lucky charm!”.  In this article, we will talk about the most popular superstitions in Italy, and in general about all those beliefs (more or less valid) that make us do (or not do) certain things, to attract good luck and push away bad luck.

In this lesson we’ll talk about a very peculiar phenomenon of the Italian language, known as “variation between gender and meaning”. This simply means that in Italian there are some words whose meaning changes entirely according to their gender (feminine and masculine). It’s a pretty common thing, and that is why it is very important to learn how to not get confused between genders and meanings.
