really helpful translation tool

If you haven't done so already you really need to download the Lingoes translation tool. That way while you read the lyrics to the songs you can ctrl+right-click on any word you don't know and get an instant English translation! It's free and 100% clean and safe (no spyware, viruses or malware of any kind). You won't regret it!

First, go to the Lingoes site and click "download" (near top right).

Once the program has been downloaded and installed, look for where the interface says "options" and click "dictionaries".

Look near the top and click "install from lingoes".

Scroll down and look for "italian dictionaries". Then click "vicon italian-english dictionary".

Once the dictionary downloads (also free, clean and safe), check both boxes and you're all set - whenever you ctrl+right-click on any Italian word on any webpage (including tutorino's italian through music section), you'll instantly get an English translation.

Then, if you're really motivated, you should go to Quizlet and make free flashcards for yourself of the words you look up and really watch your vocab expand!
