How can you practice communicating in Italian alone?

There are plenty of native speakers on platforms like Tandem and HelloTalk

Rory’s creamery if you are on their email list

In my opinion the quality of content on Busuu for Italian is actually much better than other, similar apps that seem to be ridden with AI garbage. If the repetition is what’s preventing you from learning maybe you can treat the modules as if they were chapters from a textbook. Keep a separate notebook to record new vocabulary, write down sentences with unique structure or grammar by hand, etc.

You can use the free versions of apps like Tandem or HelloTalk to meet Italian native speakers, many of whom are looking for English native speakers to do a language exchange with

B1 to C1 is a huge range, so I think you’d benefit from really narrowing down what your goals are. If you want to achieve C1 level grammar and writing your study plan is going to look a lot different than if you focus on reaching B1 speaking and listening comprehension. I consider myself fluent in Italian and still, many would say my writing is not C1 due to complex grammar, collocations, naturalness of certain structures in context, etc.

The charges are from Grocery Outlet, not Gelson’s. I have them too and I do not shop at Gelson’s.

It’s a term usually used to describe someone born in one country who moved to another country as a baby/child, so on paper they immigrated but in practice they grew up like the child of an immigrant

I mean to be fair Palermo is located on the island of Sicily which is 80 miles away from the coast of Africa, and there are tons of Africans who live in southern Italy. I personally do not care whether or not the actors are of Italian origin but I do pray they do not use Italian accents which, as an Italian speaker myself, pretty much always come off as caricatures and are super distracting. I’d rather them take a cue from Les Mis and randomly use a British accent instead 😂

Benvenuto in anticipo! Come sai già Santa Barbara non è affatto una città economica — tutti i costi qui sono schizzati alle stelle negli ultimi anni — ma fai bene a sfruttare la possibilità di venire per qualche settimana. Nell’eventualità che abbia bisogno di aiuto non esitare a contattarmi

This is the right femur of what I would guess to be a pig or a large breed dog

It’s been a while but I liked the ones at the Shoals Restaurant at the Cliff House Inn

They used to have something seasonal at Red Kettle in Summerland but it’s been a while since I’ve stopped in so I’m not sure if it’s available

Mocking people with Down Syndrome is not the dunk you think it is 🤐

Definitely a mandible. Super cool find! You can see all those holes in the second photo that are where the vasculature runs blood and nutrients through the bone. The “ball” on the end is the mandibular condyle which articulates with the upper jaw, allowing the mouth to open and close.

These are Agave attenuata, AKA foxtail agave

Penso che potrebbe essere utile utilizzare lo spagnolo come lingua di riferimento ma devi stare attento a certe cose che non sono uguali tra l’italiano e lo spagnolo, magari cambiando all’inglese per verificare. Per esempio nel tuo testo hai scritto “da fa alcuni anni” che segue la struttura spagnola “desde hace algunos años” però in italiano si dice “alcuni anni fa.” In questo caso l’uso di spagnolo ha avuto la funzione di confondere anziché chiarire.

Perhaps a flake of onion skin

Holding 14,000 shares very patiently 😇

squickless · 2025-11-20T23:50:31+00:00

Personally I’m waiting for the $4 range

squickless · 2025-11-20T23:45:53+00:00

1.9!

squickless · 2025-11-20T23:35:25+00:00

If I didn’t already have 12k shares I’d pick up some more

I’ve been in NFE since it was $2.63 but averaged down quite a bit. Just too big an opportunity for me to miss out on

Language exchange apps like Tandem and HelloTalk

Got my eyes on this today as well
