🇮🇹 Practice your Italian!

This is your sign to stop overthinking Italian and just… listen 🎧

Today I’d like to teach you an Italian verb you might use to talk about food: INZUPPARE.

Its main meaning is to put something into a liquid so that it absorbs some of it. Depending on the situation, it can be translated as “ to dip”, “to soak” or “to drench”.

Let’s see some examples:
🥐 Mi piace inzuppare il cornetto nel cappuccino

You can also use “inzuppato” as an adjective, for example:
☔️ I miei vestiti sono inzuppati

Did you already know this verb? Try to use it in a sentence in the comments! It will help you to remember it even more 🫶🏻

🇮🇹 Italian Phrases to Keep the Conversation Flowing

💾 Save these phrases for the next time you speak Italian, especially when you’re not sure what to say next!

Speaking Italian isn’t only about knowing lots of vocabulary or using perfect grammar.

Sometimes, a few simple expressions like allora…, e poi? or che ne pensi? are all you need to react naturally, show interest and keep a real conversation going. ✨

These are the little phrases Italians use all the time and they can help you feel much more confident when speaking, even as a beginner.

Which one will you try in your next Italian conversation? 🇮🇹

❤️ Save this post so you can practise them later, and share it with someone who’s learning Italian too!

Want to put these phrases into practice with me?

❤️ Join my FREE Italian Speaking Bootcamp on September 20th!

🇮🇹 Practice your Italian

In today’s mini-story you’ll learn a very useful Italian phrase: AVERE VOGLIA DI.

“Avere voglia di” means “to feel like” or “to be in the mood for”. Italians use it all the time to talk about something they would like to have or do at that moment.

⚠️ Remember to use the preposition DI!

Avere voglia DI + noun
☕️ Ho voglia di un caffè
🥪 Ho voglia di un panino

Avere voglia DI + infinitive
🍿 Ho voglia di andare al cinema stasera
🍕 Abbiamo voglia di mangiare una pizza

You can also use it in a question:
🥂 Hai voglia di uscire?

And if you’d like to practice speaking Italian with me, my Italian Speaking Bootcamp opens on September 20th.

In Italian we use TRA or FRA followed by the amount of time to say how long from now something will happen.

⚠️ Don’t translate the English “in” literally!
In English: IN two hours
In Italian: TRA due ore or FRA due ore

🇮🇹 Time to put your Italian listening skills to the test!

In this video, you’ll hear me speak in slow, clear Italian. As you listen to the short story, you’ll also review a grammar topic that often confuses Italian learners.

I’m talking about nouns ending in -E.

As you may know, some of these nouns are masculine, while others are feminine. In this video, you’ll hear one of them used naturally in context, making it easier to remember.

🙈 Learning Italian verbs can be tricky… but not when you learn them the right way! 🇮🇹

Today we’re talking about a very common Italian verb: VOLERE (to want).

💾 Save this post. You’ll learn how to use VOLERE in the present, past (passato prossimo), and future tense!

This verb is a little irregular, but this post will clear your doubts once and for all!

🇮🇹 Practice your Italian!

This is your sign to stop overthinking Italian and just… listen 🎧

I recommend watching this video twice:

1️⃣ First time: simply try to understand as much as you can. Challenge yourself and avoid reading the English subtitles if possible!

2️⃣ Second time: focus on the grammar structures highlighted in the video.

In this lesson we’ll practise:
✨ PIACERE
✨ PENSARE
✨ DECIDERE

Once you’ve watched it, challenge yourself even more by writing one sentence in the comments using one of these structures. I’ll be reading them! 🇮🇹👇

🇮🇹 Essential Italian Phrases for Your Trip to Italy

💾 Save this before your trip to Italy (because knowing even a few words can make your experience so much more enjoyable!✨)

You don’t need perfect Italian to connect with people.

A simple buongiorno, grazie or posso avere…? can go a long way, and Italians usually appreciate it when visitors make an effort to speak the language.

Here are some of the phrases you’ll actually use while ordering food, drinking coffee and exploring Italy this summer. ☀️

❤️ Save this for your trip, and tag the person you’d love to explore Italy with!

🇮🇹 Practice your Italian with a story!

Today I want to teach you one of my favourite Italian verbs: BUTTARSI.

Literally, buttarsi means to throw yourself or to dive in.

But in everyday Italian, we use it in a completely different way.

✨ Buttarsi means deciding to do something even if you’re scared.

Today I had a Spanish lesson and, before it started, I was really nervous. I was afraid of making mistakes and forgetting words… but in the end: MI SONO BUTTATA.

And I’m so glad I did.

I always say that learning Italian isn’t just about memorising vocabulary. It’s about understanding how Italians really use words in everyday life, and hearing them in context makes them much easier to remember.

💬 Now I’m curious…

Quando è stata l’ultima volta che ti sei buttata o buttato e hai fatto qualcosa che ti faceva paura?
(When was the last time you took the plunge and did something that scared you?)

Tell me your story in the comments! ❤️🇮🇹
