Cari amici,
Yes, I sent you all off with well wishes until January just a few days ago; however, I have some news for you Italian language learners out there. If you’re looking for small group classes, I can recommend the online classes offered by Barbara Bassi of Italian Stories in Italian. Barbara is offering a 10 percent discount, valid until January 10, 2026, to Italicus readers who enroll in the group classes. To sweeten the pot she’ll throw in a monthlong subscription to Every Week Italian, the paid membership wing of Italian Stories in Italian.
To get the discount, go to Online Courses in Italian and enter the code ITALICUS10 in the “Coupon” field at checkout.
Though I haven’t taken the group classes, I’ve explored much of what Barbara has to offer, and it’s a diverse mix of grammar lessons and quizzes; a podcast in slow, clear Italian with accompanying text; and lessons centered on aspects of Italian culture. As a fairly proficient speaker of Italian, I can say that I found plenty to learn and, more important, engage with. And learning happens best when you like what you’re studying.
Upcoming courses starting in January:
The Singing Italy: A Musical Trip into Italy’s Contemporary History
Travel to Italy: Beginner Italian for Real Life
Writing Migration in Italian
CILS B1 Cittadinanza: Preparation Course
I have a new website.
Tante belle cose, tanti auguri, alla prossima!

Which you can buy here or on the usual sites, or, better yet, order it from your local bookstore. Another fab option is to ask your library to stock it. If you read it and like it, please tell your friends and/or leave a few lines of praise on any bookish site. You’d be surprised how much a rating or review helps authors. Baci!
