Learn Italian faster with opposites 🇮🇹
Italian for All
Italian classes held by a native teacher in Larbert, Falkirk and Dunblane. Online classes also.
“Costa un occhio della testa 👀”
This Italian expression literally means: “It costs an eye from your head”, but in English we say: “It costs an arm and a leg!”
Example:
That bag costs an arm and a leg!
“Fresco” doesn’t just mean fresh.
Fresco =
✔️ Cool (temperature)
✔️ Freshly made
✔️ “Stiamo freschi” = we’re in trouble
Italian vocabulary isn’t always what it seems! 🇮🇹😮

Ciao! This is an unusual post for Italian for All! 🎄🎄
One of my lovely students is currently raising funds to buy Christmas jumpers for children in Falkirk who would otherwise not be able to afford them.
I think this is a lovely initiative as I can only imagine how humiliating it must be for a child to be in class on Christmas Jumper Day without one, simply because their family can't afford it. So, if you are feeling generous, click on the link below, and make a small donation! I am sure a small someone would appreciate it!
Donate to Christmas jumpers for Falkirk's Bairns, organized by Liz Wilson As Christmas approaches, we are, once again, on a mission to put smiles on the faces… Liz Wilson needs your support for Christmas jumpers for Falkirk's Bairns
