Dear Teacher,
I had the pleasure of interviewing Edoardo Bennato ten years ago for a Speak Up cover story on Italian pop stars’ level of English. I recently visited him in his studio where he revealed the secret of learning the language!

February’s New Downloadable Worksheets
St. Valentine’s Day is coming, and the theme of both of this month’s additions is love. There is a full selection of love-themed worksheets online.
Locked Away – R. City feat. Adam Levine
A favourite in this year’s Roadshow, this song about true love is ideal for revising the Second Conditional and has activities written by regular contributor Mena Bianco.
Diamond Ring – Bon Jovi
This worksheet looks at symbols of love, with activities prepared by Maria Gulczynska, Ancona.
Over 300 Downloadable worksheets now online
Most of the worksheets have been written by your colleagues – perhaps you have prepared one and want to share it?
The Tune Into English Roadshow
The February tour visits eight regions of Italy – thank you for the positive feedback so far, as well as the newspaper article from Puglia. I look forward to meeting you and your students this academic year.
