As part of a new online course in development aimed at high-end intermediate students of Italian (B2 level), 3E will be adapting Grazzini’s stories for learners of Italian as a foreign language and using them to teach (or refresh) the more complicated aspects of Italian grammar.
Foreign language instructors often use recipes in their lesson plans, and with good reason: many difficult structures can be introduced or consolidated via this user-friendly, visually-supported medium.
Listening to Italian music is one of the most consistent pieces of advice I give to students. But when preparing my customary list of recommended artists and songs, I somehow always neglect a musical phenomenon particular to Italian summers: the tormentone estivo.
A Spillace, in Calabria, scompare una donna. Una donna somala. Una donna somala residente al centro di accoglienza per profughi e migranti. A cercarla sarà Antonio Cerasa, uno dei professori di italiano dipendenti del centro il cui interesse in Sahra va oltre l’impegno professionale. La sua ricerca lo trascina in un’avventura alla quale sono testimoni i lettori e che svelerà i segreti di un passato africano trascorso in preparazione ad una vita migliore altrove. Quell’altrove sarà l’Italia. Ma la Somalia della partenza non verrà mai dimenticata da chi la lascia. E neanche da chi la scoprirà nei racconti dei suoi ex-cittadini.
