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. Overhearing conversations, our guest author Bonnie understands more than she should. Why was that Italian woman greeting her lover good evening at nine o'clock in the morning? And why hadn't he known she was in Rome?

In the About.com Italian Language forums there's a discuss about the language of I Promessi Sposi (in Italian, naturally), and the Italian translation for cupcakes. There's a lesson on capitalization, and a conjugation table for the verb conoscersi. Plus, listen to an audio phrasebook with vocabulary related to stationery (la cartoleria).
