1. Schedule your time. One of the most important factors in keeping your motivation up is developing it into a habit. Whether it be 20 minutes or 3 hours, schedule time to study every day and stick to it. Regular exposure solidifies what you learn and keeps you progressing. To make sure you stick to your routine, a great idea is to build a schedule for your day and decide that every day/Monday/weekend, you study from 6pm to 8pm. Just remember that 30 minutes a day, every day, is better than a binge 8-hour study session at the end of the week (though it’s obviously better than nothing). 2. Learn a word a day with our great Word of the Day learning tool. Trying to learn everything at once and getting overwhelmed by the sheer number... Show more

Imagine you have landed in Italy and are out and meeting people and exploring your surroundings. After you say "Ciao!" ( the equivalent to 'Hello' in English), your Italian friend may become more curious about you and your origins. And if your new friend asks you: Da dove vieni?  Don't be surprised! Your friend just wants to know where you come from. Da dove vieni? (informal) or Da dove viene? (formal), translates to "Where do you come from?"  In this case, you should answer with your country of origin. For example: Vengo dall'Italia (I come from Italy) You may also hear Di dove sei?, which also means  "Where do you come from?" , with the small difference that Di dove sei? requires a more specific location, and you should...
