The Sponsors

The Acquerello italiano blog is sponsored by Champs-Elysées, Inc, publishers of Acquerello italiano, the bi-monthly audiomagazine for intermediate-to-advanced learners of Italian.

If you've already learned basic Italian, are fascinated by Italian culture and life in Italy, and want to take your language skills to the next level, Acquerello italiano is the perfect self-study solution!

Each issue of Acquerello italiano comes on an audiocassette or CD so that you can work on your Italian while commuting, jogging, walking the dog, or cooking dinner. Just pop the cassette or CD into any standard player and listen as many times as you like! Then you also get a magazine containing a word-for-word printed transcript of the program. Difficult words and phrases are highlighted in bold in the text and defined by Anthony Oldcorn in an extensive (500 entries on average) Italian-English glossary conveniently placed on the right-hand facing pages throughout the transcript section of the booklet. As well as key contextual definitions, the glossary contains explanations of tricky grammatical constructions. At the back of the booklet you will find Jonathan's fascinating background notes that give you additional information about the people, places, and issues discussed in the program. As well as improving your Italian, there has never been a better way to keep up to date with life in Italy and Italian culture.
