Your Italian Language Coach
Ciao! My name is Stefano. I am an Italian tutor and course author.
As a serial language learner, I’ve lectured in polyglot clubs about my method.
After learning 12 languages, I can tell you that we all master languages by listening and mimicking.
With my method, you’ll be speaking Italian from Lesson 1.

You might be thinking...
If you just started learning Italian, this is an excellent starting point.
If you came here hoping to master Italian by reading grammar notes, you’ll be surprised, but not disappointed.
The grammar notes that I’ll send you are taken from my original course Ripeti con me!
The challenge doesn’t come with access to the audio lessons of Ripeti con me! but you may redeem your credit and start a plan at any time.
Yes, it’s free.
Reading grammar notes is one thing, putting them into practice is another.
With my audio course, you get plenty of material to learn through practice – not just grammar rules.
You’ll receive an email to the next grammar lesson every other day.
However, that’s just my delivery schedule.
You may take more time to cover one topic or skip others you’re already familiar with.
The links in my emails are always valid and the grammar notes are always available online.

All you need time and discipline.
