Those of you who follow Italy Magazine have likely already heard the news that they are going web only. While I will miss the tactile pleasure of flipping through their gorgeous magazines, I am excited to see what they will do with their new focus on their website. The Italy Magazine website is already a wealth of information on Italian travel, news, food, culture and property information, and is a great resource for Italophiles around the world.
One of the best new additions to the website are the Dual Language Articles that are written side by side in English and Italian and feature an audio recording of the Italian version. How clever! It is a great way to improve your vocabulary and practice your Italian while learning about A Southern Italian Wedding, the Joys of the Vespa, and following the path of St. Francis of Assisi. I love these dual language articles because they offer a fun chance to study and learn at the same time. Let’s give Italy Magazine some good feedback so they keep producing these helpful and interesting articles!
Poking around the website, you’ll also come across a series of Italian lessons for Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. Each lesson is focused on a reading exercise that becomes more detailed with the more advanced levels. Can’t get enough? Be sure to check out the new Italy Community, a meeting space for people interested in all things Italian. It’s a great place to ask your Italian language questions!
Buon divertimento! Have fun!
