Sunday Shout-out: Dual Language Articles Online at Italy Magazine

 

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!

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
