The active engagement in learning and using Italian has greatly enhanced my progress in understanding and speaking Italian, which is really rewarding. Grazie!

Great course and had a great consulting session as well with Stefano - enjoyed it and spot on with his approach

Very good and helpful site. I would like to receive also from time to time some grammatical Italian tips, short stories or new words on email as a kind of motivational learning. Every day or every week whenever it is possible. Thank you. Radwa.

For learning Italian, the Italian audio course, “Ripeti con me!” is the next best thing to studying in Italy. To learn Italian you need to listen to a native speaker and to practise speaking yourself. If you can’t go to italy you can take Stefano’s excellent audio lessons. A lesson is based on a grammar topic which is absorbed by listening and speaking in a natural way, rather than by studying grammar. Each lesson builds on previous lessons using interesting, realistic content. There are excellent grammar explanations on the website, as a reference, if needed. There are also short stories and interesting articles on the website, at all levels of ability. These are an opportunity to see how the language is written, and are another opportunity to hear it spoken. The lessons are a pleasure to use and I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in learning Italian in a natural and enjoyable way.

Mi piace molto bene questa programa

I'm learning Italian and I find these stories quite useful; they've helped me with vocabulary learning and listening skill. I'm very thankful I've come across Stefano's posts.

some of the stories are really great... very unusual and interesting. I teach italian and find them helpful for listening and reading comprehension. Perhaps an email 3 times per week with updates, instead of daily, would be good - otherwise i can't keep up.

Ciao Stefano! I am enjoying greatly Fluentsimple. I am fluent in Spanish and French, so, naturally, I wanted to learn Italian because of the beautiful sing song nature of the language. I needed a program that provides me with multiple means to read, listen, as well as read out loud...along with immediate translations. I am progressing quickly in my ability to recognize and make educated guesses at the meanings of words. Italian pronunciation is comparably very easy in that it is phonetic, similar to Spanish. What I am lacking is the chance to speak in back and forth conversations and write in my own voice and story. Really, what anyone does in normal conversation. I think the grammar lessons and little tips about the Italian language are fantastic. I grew up in Brooklyn and spent much of my youth in and out of Italian American households. The sing song nature of the language got into me so much as a child/youth, that it seems almost natural to speak Italian (although I am far from fluent). Anyway, thanks for the great website, it is really useful, and a great improvement over learning languages prior to the internet. Mille Grazie...Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo!
