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

Welcome to this week's edition of your About.com Italian Language Newsletter! No matter what your motivation—the opportunity to work overseas, cultural exchange in a land steeped in history and culture, researching your genealogy, or studying other topics such as Italian literature or art history—you can discover new worlds when learning Italian.

In the About.com Italian Language forums members discuss alternatives to Acquerello Italiano (which recently suspended operations), and a user asks for recommendations in choosing a pocket electronic dictionary. There's a lesson on direct object pronouns (i pronomi diretti), and a conjugation table for the verb contraffare. Plus, listen to an audio phrasebook with vocabulary related to the beach (in spiaggia).

Forza Fiat!
The New York Times notes in "Fiat Pushes Work Ethic at Italian Plant" that "Italians have long clung to a revealing proverb: as Fiat goes, so goes Italy."
