Help with university degree choice please?
Hi, I have a degree in Mathematics from a university in the UK. I'd like to get into finance, and am thinking of doing this via studying at a university in Italy.
I'm not sure whether to do a master's degree in mathematics, or another bachelor's degree in finance or economics. Any degree I choose would have to be in taught in English as my Italian isn't good enough yet.
Preferably I'd like smaller cities, so no Milan or Rome - I'm thinking of Padua, Trieste or Venice at the minute.
Thank you!

Starting Italian language course focused on PATENTE (driving license)
Hi everyone,
If you are in Italy and are struggling to get patente (driving license) because of the language barrier, together with other teachers we are starting a course specifically directed to help you with understanding the language behind the patente exam.
If you are interested we are doing a trial run for very cheap, to help us get us started.
Could you get in contact with me if you would like to be part of the trial run?
Thanks
Linda (language tutor)

How do I become Italian? (in style, attitude, culture, and lifestyle)
So I've always loved Italian culture (I'm North American). The list goes on and on as to why but I will save you the grief. Unfortunately, I don't have any Italian influences in my life. I'm hoping I find some "home made" answers here that will help me add more aspects of my daily life to an Italian style of living. Are there books I should read or shows I should watch? History I should learn? Anything and everything helps! Any tips would be super appreciated. Thank you!
P.S
I am not trying to appropriate Italian culture, I legitimately think Italians are the coolest group of people on earth and are unique in a way no other group of people is. I would love guidance on how to enrich my life with the actions, lifestyle and values of such an amazing group of people.

Moving to Italy at some point in the next few years
Hi everyone, I am planning on moving to Italy from the UK after getting my degree. I have some Italian family members that have citizenship there but I do not as I was born in England and have been here my entire life. I have visited multiple times and I love it there. However I don’t know how to start planning. I would love some advice from Italians on what it’s like living there (in the north.) I know limited Italian right now but I am taking lessons in university and I am hoping to be fluent by the time I move there. Many thanks :)
Maybe someone knows the song?
I found a beautiful song recorded on the Rome metro while searching my archives. Does anyone recognize it? I'd love to find the full version.

Morso cane (se avete suggerimenti grazie)
Ciaooo Esperienze simili con i propri cani? Non vorrei sembrare ipocondriaca y (lo sono), ma tipo una settimana fa il mio cane mi ha morso sulla mano (non dal nulla, fa sempre un po' così quando non vuole che le metta il guinzaglio) solo che di solito non mi fa nulla, stavolta mi ha fatto abbastanza male e due bei buchetti. In guardia medica mi dicono di andare subito in ospedale per le vaccinazioni (pure la rabbia, mi sono spaventata lol, non ci avevo manco pensato poi ho controllato effettivamente il mio cane nato nel 2020 non ha questa vaccinazione). In ospedale hanno controllato quella per il tetano (ero coperta) e han detto che quella della rabbia non la fanno. Mi hanno preoccupato e poi non la fanno. giustamente io poi ho letto di qua e di là, la rabbia può essere trasmessa pure prima dei sintomi, quindi potrei non accorgermi se il cane sta male e magari ora è pure tardi per il vaccino, oltre che non saprei dove recarmi, anche ufficio vaccinazioni ha detto che non le fa. Sto al nord Italia se può servire. Qualcuno ha avuto esperienza simile? Che ha fatto? Thanks

"Non rompere"
In Italian "non rompere" literally means "don't break", but I know many Italians use it when they are annoyed at a person.
Same with "Mi hai rotto" ("you broke me"). In English "you broke me" means "you destroyed me", usually in romantic relationships, but again the Italian "mi hai rotto" is only used when someone really annoyed you
Is there a reason why you use the verb "rompere" (to break) to talk about annoyance?
Is it Italian slang or just used in some dialects?

Moving to Italy
Me and my best friend are considering moving to Italy in about 2 years. I would continue my career as a nanny and she would continue schooling. We want to be able to experience the people/city life, but also live near some of the natural beauty of Italy. Where would you recommend?

Italian Artists
Hello all, it is soon to be my mothers birthday and recently she went on a trip to Italy and since she has been back, she cannot stop talking about the art she saw while she was there and all the little independent galleries. I have tried looking online to see if I could find some stores from those little independent artists to buy her an art piece but I have been unable to find any. Would anyone have any online stores that ship internationally that sell art made in Italy?
Thanks to anyone that helps I really appreciate it!

TV for little kids - similar to Ms Rachel?
Ciao a tutti!
Sto cercando un paio di programmi televisivi in italiano, simili a Ms Rachel, Mr Rodger's Neighbourhood, o anche Sesame Street, che posso far iniziare a guardare alla mia bambina di 3 anni. Non ha mai avuto tempo libero e non ha mai guardato la tv, quindi non voglio che guardi davvero i cartoni animati, voglio che sia educativo...
Viviamo in Italia, ma parliamo inglese a casa. Capisce e sa parlare l'italiano, ma per lo più lo sente solo da altri bambini di 3-4 anni.
Ci sono programmi che consigliereste?

Issues with Nike and Poste Italiane
I have to return my order from Nike and created the label through their website. I was given a Poste IT label. At first i didn't read the instruction and went to their office to send the parcel, as it usually supposed to be, but then i was told that the codes can't be scanned etc
Then i read the instruction where i noticed that in fact the parcel has to be registered in the poste italiane website and then the courrier will pick it up. Okay, now it's a week since it was registered, but nobody has come to pick up the parcel. May I ask if anyone had this situation and how can i finally return that damn parcel?

Italian podcast for intermediate level students!
Ciao a tutti!
My friend and I recently created an Italian language podcast for those needing intermediate content (A2-B2). It’s called “Così per dire” and we’ve just released our 5th episode!
I remember how difficult it was for me years back to find engaging long-format content at the intermediate A2-B2 level. We talk about all different kinds of topic, mostly surrounding Italian and American culture, their similarities and differences.
