Ciao a tutti!
I write the blog Liconoscevobene.net,* which consists of cineracconti (photo-stories) about classic Italian movies, some famous, some obscure. I started the blog out of a passion for those movies and for the Italian language, as a way to share them with other Italian language students. Using the skills I learned in working on my Masters degree and in many years of Teaching English as a Second Language, I tailor the writing to students’ needs.
The cineracconti are published in serial format. Each puntata (installment) is about 600 English words – about half the length of this post – or ten minutes of film. The blog aims to be a fun and useful tool for Italian language students, especially those who love movies.
