Matta per l’Italia! That’s me! La Studentessa

Matta per l’Italia! That’s me! La Studentessa Matta! I’m Crazy for Italy!

Are you crazy in love with Italy and the language too? Are you learning Italian but have no one to practice with? Do you need a language coach or want to practice Italian conversation skills? Want to join an Italian Book club and read a novel in Italian?

Or perhaps you want to learn Italian in Italy and immerse in the language and culture?

Join me on my website for lots of Italian language learning fun! I’ve got lots of ways for you to practice and improve.

Many times, I’ve heard, “I can read and understand Italian, but when I speak, I get tongue-tied!” Sound familiar? Now you can practice Italian Conversation with me, loosen your tongue, and polish your language skills regularly. Do you need help with Italian grammar? Now you can schedule Italian Lessons to improve your language abilities. We will kick the tires and check the gearbox to get your “Italian Language Vespa’s” motor running smoothly and efficiently.

Or join me in Italy to learn the language on one of my specially designed programs with one of my partner schools. Learn in the classroom in the morning, and join me on excursions and adventures in the afternoon to keep practicing and learning more Italian!

In 2023 I have three small group programs planned with my partner schools in Arezzo in June, Lucca at the end of August, and Montepulciano in September!

Join me, and let’s love Italy and Italian together! Improve your fluency and understanding of this beautiful language with me — la Matta!

New film review of Rapiniamo il Duce (Robbing Muss

New film review of Rapiniamo il Duce (Robbing Mussolini) on the Studentessa Matta blog site.

Rapiniamo il Duce (Robbing Mussolini) is a new Netflix fiction action film partially based on actual events.

It was well-known that Mussolini had a secret stash of treasures hidden away and heavily guarded. It contained all the gold, jewels, money, paintings, and precious objects he had stolen from the Italian people in the name of Fascism. In the final days of the war, to save himself, Mussolini fled north.

We all know what fate befell the Duce and where he ended up, but what happened to his treasure and where it is now is still a mystery. In this new movie, a band of misfit thieves set out to steal the stash in the confusion of the last days of the war.

Read my review, listen to music from the film, and feast your eyes on some of the fantastic costumes.

On today's date, in 2019, "Eternally Artemisia”

On today's date, in 2019, "Eternally Artemisia” was published! Publication day is always a special date to remember and celebrate as it represents a huge milestone in the life of an author! I loved writing this story and I miss the days of living in Artemisia's world!

The novel celebrates Artemisia Gentisleschi, the 17th-Century painter; her art and spirit are shown through various lifetimes.

The story also explores the idea that when there is a profound attachment between two souls, who experience life so intensely and passionately, they are cosmically bound together. They endure through all seasons, never fading away, and are fated to meet repeatedly.

Find your copy of "Eternally Artemisia" on Amazon in print, epub for Kindle, and as an Audiobook. Links in Bio.

Literal translations are like a slippery banana pe

Literal translations are like a slippery banana peel on a language learner’s path to fluency!

Think of it like this: translating word for word from your native language is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. It just doesn’t work!

You need to learn the unique shape and style of the language you’re learning, just like you need to find the right shape and size of the puzzle piece to complete the picture.

I’ve compiled a list of expressions using FARE, PRENDERE, and AVERE to guide you. Look it over, familiarize yourself with the particular usages, and check out some idiomatic expressions using these verbs.

Start reading and listening more in Italian; soon, your ear will recognize these expressions, which will start sounding more natural.

And hey, if you slip on a grammatical “banana peel,” remember language learning is a journey, so just pick yourself up and keep going!
