Exercise Classes in Italian – Two Birds, One Stone
An EXCELLENT way to bump up your Italian language skills is to take part in what we call “Passive Practice”. This could be watching a movie, listening to music, or reading the newspaper. This could also be in the form of taking a Yoga or Dance class instructed in Italian. The beauty of taking an [...]
Tipping in Italy
Just like home or “When in Rome”? The ritual of tipping (or not tipping) in Italy stems from a long history of proud waiters who were paid a “living wage” and didn’t necessarily depend on tips to round out their salary. They were devoted to their trade and spent a lifetime acquiring food and wine [...]
Panino Perfection
I had spent a small fortune on pre-made Panini before discovering the fresh-to-order Alimentari sandwich.

Many see it by day, but few return at night, and even though you cannot enter it past certain hours, sitting on the piazza fountain [...]
On-Site Delight
Typical Art History Class…Dark Classroom, Projector, and Notetaking. On-Site Art History Class…The original work, wide-eyes, and peaked interest. When you’re choosing your study abroad courses, I recommend staying on the lookout for the words “on-site” in class descriptions. This likely means your class will taught somewhere off-campus in your Italian study city like a museum, [...]
Italian Hand-Talkin’
Italians are very animated conversationalists, and they’re famous for their variety of convo-enhancing hand gestures. Entire dialogues can be carried out using gestures, and if you can get a handle on a few, it’ll really boost your Italian a couple notches (or at least make you look like you know what you’re doing from afar). [...]
