How did we choose the words that you should know first? We interviewed Italian natives and let them speak about the subject of their choice. We then selected a minute and a half of these conversations and isolated every word pronounced, classifying them into basic, primary, and secondary vocabulary. In the basic list, we put all the words that appear systematically in every conversation. Table, crayon-pencil, or avion-airplane would be included in the primary vocabulary list, but not in the basic vocabulary list where you will find words like: for, that, what, I, of, in, am.

I went to Italy to find a billionaire. Then I got into the wrong car. Francesco is calm. Controlled. Impossible to read. The kind of man who notices everything. Including me. One week.

Now he's taking me to private galleries, hidden restaurants, rooms full of exactly the powerful men I came here to find. But every time another man touches me — Francesco goes still. Every time I flirt with someone else ...

Usi Claude AI ogni giorno e le risposte non ti convincono mai del tutto? Troppo generiche. Troppo lunghe. O semplicemente non quello che avevi in mente. Non è un problema del modello. È il prompt. E il prompt si impara. La maggior parte delle persone usa gli strumenti di intelligenza artificiale come si usava Google dieci anni fa: una frase, un invio, e speranza.
