L’Ingrediente Segreto (intermedio)
I'm the creative force behind this blog and a collection of short stories in simple Italian for language learners, available on Amazon. I believe speaking a foreign language is a superpower—one that opens minds, builds bridges, and changes lives. My passion is helping learners tap into that power with confidence and joy.
