🇮🇹 Un consiglio dalla Matta 🇮🇹
 Matta Italian Language Tip!

Quando le bugie… non fanno molta strada

When Lies Don’t Get Very Far

IN ITALIAN, YOU SAY: “LE BUGIE HANNO LE GAMBE CORTE.”

Literally? Lies have short legs.
 But the meaning is much more vivid: lies don’t go very far.
 Sooner or later… the truth catches up with them.
It’s the perfect expression for shows like Non dirlo al mio capo, where one small lie starts running… only to trip over itself not long after.

Read the the Matta Blog Post about the RAIPlay TV series “Non dirlo al mio capo”

Non dirlo al mio capo: bugie, amore e avvocati a N

Non dirlo al mio capo: bugie, amore e avvocati a Napoli

“Non dirlo al mio capo”: Lies, Love, and Lawyers in Naples

Una bugia… piccola, innocente… o forse no
One small lie… harmless… or maybe not

A volte tutto comincia con una piccola bugia. Una di quelle che dici quasi senza pensarci, giusto per superare un ostacolo. “Non è importante,” ti dici.

Pasqua in Italia… it’s not just a holiday, it’s a whole experience!

Have you ever wondered how Easter is celebrated in Italy?

On the Studentessa Matta Blog, we’re unwrapping the traditions that make Pasqua so special… like a giant chocolate egg filled with surprises

✨ From solemn and beautiful processioni that wind through ancient streets

 ✨ To the art of cracking open a towering colomba di Pasqua (that sweet, dove-shaped cake!)

 ✨ And of course… the joy of gathering around the table with family for a long, laughter-filled pranzo

In Italy, Pasqua is a blend of history, faith, food, and those little cultural moments that make you pause and say… che bello! 💛
Come explore these traditions, learn new Italian words, and step a little closer to living the language.

👉 Visit Studentessa Matta and celebrate Pasqua the Italian way!

Il mio corteggiamento con la lingua italiana è diventato un vero fidanzamento 💍🇮🇹

Siamo così affiatati… sembra quasi che parlassimo la stessa lingua!

My courtship with the Italian language has officially turned into an engagement!

We’re so in tune now, it feels like we’ve always spoken the same language.

It didn’t happen overnight…

This was a slow, delicious romance — years of ciao, confusion, laughter, verb charts, and little breakthroughs that felt like love letters

From strangers… to friends… to something much deeper.

Now? We’re due gocce d’acqua — finishing each other’s sentences, choosing just the right tense, the perfect word… and yes, making each other ridiculously happy 💕

Want your own Italian love story? Stop flirting with the language! It’s time to take the next step and get serious with the language.

Come join me at StudentessaMatta.com — where we turn flirtation into fluency through lessons, stories, book clubs, and unforgettable immersion experiences in Italy 🇮🇹
