Getting confused

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

I’ve been preparing some material on sentence composition and managed to confuse myself after trying to understand the difference between adjuncts and adverbials.  Adverbials can be adjuncts apparently, but not always.  Then there is presenting all these nuggets of grammatical knowledge to students in a manner which will actually improve their written (and spoken) English in an effective and, preferably, non-confusing manner.  Fun, fun, fun.
I shall have to test this material thoroughly and monitor its long term benefits.  All I need are a few willing victims, sorry, er, guinea pigs.

Amazon Lands in Italy, but Visited BlogfromItaly.com first

Wow! Despite Italy’s decidedly dodgy postal service, Amazon has finally set up shop in Italy. Hello Amazon.it! Amazon.com Inc even visited BlogfromItaly.com to read my How to Post things to Italy post, according to my Google Analytics data. Very interesting.

Not sure who is handling deliveries for them, but if it’s the Italian post office, Amazon will need to keep an eye on things, as they will know after having read my post, and the comments. Amazon has done business in Spain, France and Germany for a few years, but seemed to have steered clear of Italy. Until now that is.

Berlusconi

Italy’s Judges are Communists

That Italy’s judiciary is a communist coven is a claim Italy’s prime minister Silvio Berlusconi makes virtually daily.

Recently, in the face of Rubygate these claims have reached a new crescendo.

But is it true? Has Italy’s judiciary been penetrated by communist infiltrators? In other words, is there any evidence that Berlusconi’s mantra that judges in Italy are communists is true?

The mafia is as Italian as pasta, and as efficient as some of the world’s top multinationals. In fact, it may be true to say that Italy’s mafia is the most efficient Italian ‘institution’ of all of Italy’s institutions.
