How we all learn languages

After learning 12 languages, I came to the conclusion that we all learn languages by listening and mimickingJust like we did when we were babies. That’s why I created study material to learn Italian by speaking.

My courses

My learning resources include two libraries of courses, plus an AI-powered tutor:
  1. An audio course to learn grammar without studying rules, but rather by listening and repeating many sample sentences.
  2. A collection of bilingual readings with audio to expand your vocabulary with simplified yet real-world material.
  3. A helpful AI tutor to help you practice conversation and review my courses
Together, they’ll make you familiar with grammar patterns and let you put them into practice right away.

Audio course

italian audio lessons
Lesson 1 of the audio course

This is an audio course specifically designed for the Italian language with a focus on speaking.

I’ll show you how to say things in Italian and you’ll repeat after me to acquire vocabulary and grammar naturally.

Each lesson covers one grammar pattern without explicitly teaching it, but rather showing many examples in English and Italian.

How to take a lesson

lesson structure
Lesson structure: easy as ABC!

Simply put, you need to repeat everything that you hear in Italian.

Every lesson includes 30 bilingual sentences and is made up of 3 sequences: A, B, and C.

Sequence A

  1. listen to a sentence in English
  2. hear it in Italian
  3. repeat it while you hear it again.

Sequence B

  1. listen to a sentence in English
  2. say that in Italian during the pause
  3. repeat the sentence in Italian while you hear it.

Don’t worry if you can’t recollect exactly. Try to say something anyway.

Sequence C

  1. speak along in Italian

Pro tips

  • Take one lesson a day, every day.
  • Repeat what you hear. Don’t listen passively.
  • The first time you take a lesson, only rely on audio.
  • Go through A, B, and C without pausing the audio. Together, they take about 15-30 minutes.
  • Don’t worry if you can’t remember or even understand everything you hear, miss words and mumble phrases. You’ll catch them later.
  • If you can keep up somehow with about 70% of the content, move on to the next lesson; or else, repeat the lesson the day after.
  • If you hit a wall, go back 5-10 lessons and everything will feel easier than before.
  • Read the grammar notes after taking a lesson

Readings

italian readings
A good read

Reading the smart way

Usually, people read silently. This makes it difficult to recollect and recount what you just read.

That’s why you should always speak along or read aloud. This also improves your pronunciation.

What’s in a reading

  • Italian audio
  • Italian transcript
  • English translation

Pro tips

  • On the first round of listening, don’t read the transcript.
  • Bookmark a story and review it after a few days. You’ll be surprised by how much more you can understand!
