Vorrei e Potrei

Bilmem ki hâtıralar,
Ne istersiniz benden,
Gelir gelmez sonbahar?

Bu kanad çırpış neden?
Cama vuracak ne var
Ey eski hâtıralar

Sanmayın güller açar,
Bülbül değildir öten;
Bu rüzgâr başka rüzgâr.

Ne istersiniz benden,
Bilmem ki hâtıralar,
Gelir gelmez sonbahar?

Il podcast ”Comme se dice?” nasce da un’idea di Vincenzo Luca Forte e Iginia Barretta, insegnanti di Napoletano e altre lingue sulla piattaforma Italki. 
Il podcast è dedicato al dialetto napoletano e si rivolge principalmente a chi vuole impararlo o è interessato ad approfondire la sua conoscenza. Ogni puntata affronta a rotazione diversi temi riguardanti il Napoletano, che possono spaziare dalla grammatica alla cultura, dalla fonetica alla letteratura, dalla canzone al cinema, e si svolge sempre in presenza di alcuni studenti di napoletano di Luca e Iginia. Con la loro partecipazione gli ideatori si propongono, infatti, non solo di offrire un approfondimento linguistico e culturale sul napoletano ma anche di riprodurre un momento didattico e di apprendimento rappresentativo del loro metodo d’insegnamento.
In questo pilot, oltre ad una presentazione degli ideatori e dei partecipanti, si parlerà di:
-	Poesia napoletana 
-	Storia della lingua e del dialetto Napoletano
-	Canzone napoletana
-	La Schwa, o la vocale centrale media in Napoletano

Using Spoken Discourse Markers for IELTS Speaking

Discourse markers, such as "well," "so," "you know," and "I mean," are common in everyday speech. These words and phrases help guide conversations, signal a change in thought, or give the speaker time to think. For IELTS Speaking, using discourse markers effectively can enhance your fluency and coherence, making your responses more natural and organized.

Here are some key ways to use spoken discourse markers during the IELTS Speaking exam:

Starting Your Response: Using markers like "well" or "actually" can give you a moment to collect your thoughts before answering a question. For example, if asked about your favorite hobby, you could begin with, "Well, I really enjoy painting because it's relaxing."

Organizing Ideas: Words such as "firstly," "secondly," and "finally" can help structure your response when explaining something in detail. This makes it easier for the examiner to follow your ideas.

Clarifying and Rephrasing: Discourse markers like "I mean" or "in other words" are useful for clarifying points or rephrasing if you feel your initial response wasn’t clear enough. For instance, "In other words, I think traveling teaches us valuable life skills."

Filling Pauses: Using phrases like "you know" or "let me think" can fill pauses naturally, preventing awkward silences during your speaking test.

However, it's essential not to overuse discourse markers, as it can make your speech sound unnatural. Practice using them in moderation to sound fluent and confident in your responses.

Why You Freeze in English: The Psychology of Language Learning

🎧 Have you ever felt like your English is perfect in your head… but the moment you open your mouth — it disappears?

You tell yourself it’s bad grammar, or not enough vocabulary. But the truth is… it’s not grammar at all.

It’s psychology.

In this episode, we’re going to explore what’s really happening in your mind when you speak another language — why emotions, memory, identity, and even your belief system decide whether your English flows or freezes.

You’ll discover why anxiety blocks your brain, how perfectionism slows you down, and how playfulness accelerates fluency.

And I’ll share what I’ve learned in over 20,000 coaching sessions with professionals around the world — from Russia to China to the Middle East — about how people truly unlock their global voice.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself in English… this episode will change the way you see language learning forever. Let’s dive in.


If today’s episode resonated with you, here’s what I want you to do next. Don’t just stop at listening — take action.

I’ve put together a free Voice Starter Kit with warm-ups and mindset shifts I usually only share with my private clients. It’s designed to lower your anxiety, boost your confidence, and help you sound clear and natural in English — even under pressure.

All you need to do is send me a quick DM with the word VOICE and I’ll send it straight to you.

Remember — your English is not just grammar and vocabulary. It’s your global identity. Let’s unlock it together.
