What is Parola del Giorno?
Parola del Giorno is an Italian language newsletter that shares tips on Italian grammar and growing your Italian vocabulary by sharing with our readers unique words and expressions. We also feature posts on traveling to Italy, Italian cultural events, and other artistic, literary, and musical phenomenon.
I have been publishing the web site www.paroladelgiorno.com since 2005 and the web site has also published a number of language guides. Several co-authors and collaborators have helped in the realization of this project over the years.
As of May 2026, paroladelgiorno.com is part of PdG Press, a publishing company I am hoping to develop in the coming years. PdG Press is where you can purchase ebooks for our language guides. Paperback copies can be purchased from lulu.com and Amazon.com.

Subscriptions are free! We no longer charge to read/subscribe to the blog (it was too much of a headache).
