Ahhh, the joys of life! 😉 Quest’espressione non ha bisogno di molte spiegazioni, vero? Sappiamo tutti esattamente cosa significa essere infastiditi da qualcuno! 😤

Parla inglese come un madrelingua!: ‘You’re trying my patience!’ - Stai facendo del tuo meglio per non perdere la calma, per non arrabbiarti, per non, beh... magari non ucciderli! 😂 È un’espressione super inglese per quando qualcuno sta davvero spingendo i tuoi limiti. Mantieni il tuo buon inglese imparando queste espressioni autentiche!

So, tell me in the comments! What really gets on your nerves? Or rather, who tries your patience the most? 👇

Okay, so this isn’t a word that’s going to completely change your English game, but if you’re looking to sound more authentic, natural, and use words native speakers actually use... then this post is for you! 😉

The word indispensable. Yes, we absolutely have it in English. But here’s the thing: we almost never say it! Why? Because it’s too strong! 🤯
“Indispensable” means something you absolutely cannot live without, or the situation will fail, things will be terrible! Think: “Water is indispensable for life.” Yeah, that strong.

So, what do we use instead for those everyday “necessities”? Stick to simpler words like: required, necessary, or essential. These will make your English sound much more natural.

Fun fact: We can use ‘indispensable’ in an exaggerated, humorous way! Like when I say my morning coffee is indispensable... ☕ I mean, I could survive without it, but why would I want to?! 😂

Now, over to you! What are some truly indispensable parts of your day (even if you’re exaggerating for fun)? Your after-lunch coffee? Scrolling on your phone before bed? Tell me in the comments! 👇

Ahhh, the joys of spring... or should I say, almost summer! 🌱 My garden is absolutely thriving lately, and I’ve been spending so much time out there. We even tried our hand at planting some basil from seed this year... aaand it all died. 😂 So, off to the grocery store for a plant! But hey, it happens!

We also planted some Morning Glory, one of my absolute favorite flowers – can’t wait for them to burst into bloom! 🌸 And someF orget-Me-Nots... those died, but the rest of the garden is going strong! 💪

This post is all about ‘seeds,’ and while a lot of English vocabulary is quite similar to Italian, don’t miss those little differences! 😉 Swipe through to check out words like 👍🏽flax, dill, and fennel seeds. They might be new for you!

Now, over to you! Do you do any gardening? Have you planted any physical seeds in your garden recently? Or are you more focused on a figurative seed you’ve planted for a new project or goal? Tell me all about it in the comments! 👇

We don’t use tons of vocab in everyday speech. 😉 But to be more expressive, we need a wider range!

Remembering new words is the hard part, right? 😩 So: Repeat, repeat, repeat! 🔁 And connect the word to your life – make your brain think it’s important! 🧠

What’s a word you’ve heard recently that you want to remember? Tell me about it! This will help you remember it for years. ✨ (The more obscure, the more repetition!)

Non posso dirti quante volte ho dovuto ripetere ‘dirimpettaio’ per ricordarla. 😂 Lo so, lo so. Non è per nulla utile! Ma ora lo uso quando parlo dei miei dirimpettai. 🏘️

🎉 Nuovo Papa, Nuove Parole! 🗣️
With the buzz around Pope Leo XIV’s election, I thought it’d be fun to break down key terms like ‘Papacy,’ ‘Pontificate,’ and ‘Holy See’. 🇻🇦
