StudentessaMatta.com Language Tip

Want to boost your Italian vocabulary every day — without to much effort?

Turn Wait Time into Word Time!

While reading or listening to an audiobook in Italian, keep a running list of new words—either in a notebook or on your phone in the Notes app.

Then, whenever you’re standing in line, waiting for your espresso, or sitting in your dentist’s lobby, pull out your list and give it a quick scan.

These “idle” moments are golden! Reviewing vocab in short bursts helps cement it in your memory—so you’ll use those words naturally in conversation. A few minutes a day really adds up!
