Happy 100th birthday, Maria Callas! 🎈 #Callas100

Today, we celebrate the legacy of this diva unlike any other, whose breathtaking voice, awe-inspiring presence & pure talent capture our hearts.

Watch her electrifying performance of Carmen's Séguedille: https://t.co/angvMFmdvE

La Divina: Maria Callas was born 100 years ago today!

A gentle reminder of the word ‘matutolypea’: grumpiness or downheartedness first thing in the morning.

Based on Latin and Greek, literally ‘morning grief’, or ‘sorrow of the dawn’.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is 'popjoy' (19th century): to celebrate and enjoy oneself.

Popjoying goes well with 'conjobbling' (17th century): joining others for conversation and company.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Etymology of the day is 'canter', short for 'Canterbury trot': the leisurely pace at which pilgrims in the Middle Ages would ride on their way to the shrine of Thomas à Becket in Canterbury.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of Christmas Day, always, is ‘confelicity’: joy in the happiness of others.

Wishing everyone confelicity aplenty today.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is 'growlery' (1853, from Charles Dickens): a place you retreat to for the purposes of growling, muttering, and letting off steam.

Word of the day, once again, has to be 'apricity' (17th century): the warmth of the sun on a chilly day.

It's too good to lose.

@duolingo Just wondering if you have any plans to launch your podcast series for English speakers to learn Italian? I am currently listening to your French episodes and they are brilliant! I would be over the moon if this feature was launched in Italian!
