• Neologisms
    Sep 18 2025
    In this episode, I will talk about Neologisms, and I will explain to you the essential thing to make them enter into the Italian dictionaries. In contrast with my other articles, in which I explain something difficult, or I give little tips to improve your Italian skills and your fluency, today will focus on the neologisms, a super interesting topic to me, and hopefully, you will find it interesting too.
