Where foreign is familiar

In every corner of the world, there will always be interesting people, places, and things that inspire. With this in mind, our goal is to create more multilingual conversations, no matter what form they take. We believe in a holistic approach to learning and use storytelling to blend language into your daily life.

We value learning from people’s unique perspectives and publish original content via short stories, essays, photography, artwork, and the like, to bring those corners of the world a bit closer together. It’s in our name afterall, this idea of connection, listening and learning, with DIMMI being Italian for “tell me.”

We’re always on the search for new ways to highlight and celebrate all that intersects with language. Have an idea you’d like to tell us? Email us at stories@thedimmiproject.com
