An Italian Would Never Say That
Common Errors in Italian Usage
You'll never sound like an Italian native if you persist in repeating linguistic "dead giveaways" - that is, grammatical mistakes, habits, or tics that always identifies a native English speaker regardless of how competent that person is in Italian.

From Michael San Filippo, your Guide to Italian
Caro Lettore,

Welcome to this week's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter! Read the next installment in one woman's adventure in fluency. Thinking she has figured out how to shop in the outdoor market, our guest author Bonnie ends up with a surprise.

In the About.com Italian Language forums there's a discussion about the term in bocca al lupo, and a community member solicits suggestions for cat names in Italian. There's a lesson on Italian consonants, and a conjugation table for the verb condurre. Plus, listen to an audio phrasebook with vocabulary related to birds (gli uccelli).

Making Hamburgers
Thinking she has figured out how to shop in the outdoor market, the author ends up with a surprise. When Bonnie discovers that she's actually bought ground meat and buns, she makes hamburgers--not what she expected to be eating in Italy.

What Italian Do You Speak?
Most regions in Italy have their own accent, dialect, and sometimes their own language. The various languages and dialects spoken in Italy evolved over centuries and remained distinct from standard Italian for a variety of reasons.

Italian Word of the Day
Hear a new word every day in Italian and a phrase using the word in an example. Plus another way to improve your vocabulary: sign up for the Italian Word of the Day newsletter, delivered to your in-box daily.
