    Si Manu. I'm 62, my daughter is moving to Rome. I want to be able to speak to her in Italian as she learns it as well. I'm excited for this and look forward to the next 30 days.

    I'm a student of Italy Made Easy, having started during Lockdown, and it's the best thing I've ever done. Being a little older, I find it more challenging to learn new things but Manu's courses are simple to follow and build grammar, understanding, vocabulary and confidence in short 10-20 minute videos. I'm so proud of how much I've learned over the past 2 years that I'm now confident enough to speak Italian when I go to Rome next week and that's a big step forward for someone who has never spoken a foreign language before now. Manu is passionate about his teaching and you will soon learn he's also a very nice person. I recommend this 100%.

      I'm signed up for the Beginner Course for probably less than a year. I have memory problems so I have to keep at it. I also signed up for my own Quizlet sets and it really helps to have those. Plus the Italian verb conjugator and online dictionary that Manu recommends. All great tools.
      I got behind in the lessons and then they revised them. I am up to the NEW Unit 6. Just started learning about -ERE verbs.
      But, even prior to being signed up I had found Manu's You Tube page and started with the alphabet, numbers, months, etc because I have ancestry in Italy and research documents and his pages helped me a lot to get started and now I can read and understand probably 80-90% of most documents in Italian and a little less for most documents in Latin (which basically followed a lot of the same format as the later documents in Italian). Also some documents in French. Also finding a large number of fellow researchers in South America including some whose ancestors were from the same province and region (Provincia di Torino, Regione di Piemonte) as my ancestors and I have had to refresh my Spanish from high school and learn some Portuguese to read documents in Brazil. And even learn some German to assist at least one person whose ancestors lived in an area of northern Italy that was formerly Austrian.
      But it all started with Italy Made Easy and Manu's wonderful presentation and system that is enjoyable and engaging and informative. I think the only problem I have is that I am impatient and want to know more and have a hard time "waiting" for the new information coming in the next lessons! lol Kind of like a kid at Christmas who can't wait for the morning so they sneak downstairs to see if there is anything under the tree yet. lol The lessons are THAT good. Grazie mille Manu and the whole "From Zero to Italian" team!

    As an EFL professional, I spent 23 years teaching English as a Foreign Language to Poles in Poland, as well as training Poles to be teachers of English as a Foreign Language. So whenever I look at a language program, I'm always analyzing the method being used while I'm doing the lesson: does the lesson follow principles based in the science of Language Acquisition (what babies do) and language learning (what post-pubertal people need to do). Everything this man says is sound in terms of how the brain learns best. Some of the techniques are exactly what I've recommended to my Polish students who attended lectures and classes all day (and even taught English at least once a week) who then immediately switched to Polish as soon as the classes were over. This method is based in very sound principles. By all means, have Italian playing constantly around you as much as you can. It will help ENORMOUSLY with one of the hardest parts of transferring your passive knowledge of Italian into active conversations in Italy because you'll understand what people are saying around you in real life in Italy.

    Study AND immersion is needed. That is how we learn, it isn’t a corporate ploy.
    I really like this lessons; a strong foundation helps in learning new languages.
    Growing up 7th grade and up. I would play a LOT of Assassin’s Creed, specifically Ezio’s story. And it helped with the vowels 😅
    As a musician, you needed both reading music AND listening to understand context and how it should flow.

    It has actually been over a month since I started learning Italian and the thing that I have been using since I started learning that sweet language is the app called dualingo. You must have heard about that app. And just like I noticed in this amazing video you think like that when the most people who speak in English notice the biggest difference between the pronouncing in Italian and in English language they start to feel like they are going to give up. As the pronouncing letters in this language is the same as pronouncing the letters in my language which is Uzbek I am not going to get challenged that part of learning. So you can trust me that I finish up learning the sweet language called Italian in the next threeten days!!! Amico 😎🔥

    I'm German, and it's easier for me to pronounce Italian than for English speakers, because German is also - mostly - a phonetic language. We use also a few Italian words in every day language (like "basta" a. o.). I also like to listen to Italian old songs, and understand from that quite a lot.

    Si, many. Io sono di Russia. Мне очень нравится итальянский, для меня он легче, чем английский, гласные похожи на русский, как слышим, так и говорим. Я всегда мечтала выучить именно итальянский, но сначала выучила английский.Не в идеале конечно,но это позволяет мне учить теперь итальянский. Сложно,но интересно. Спасибо за видеоуроки❤

    Is amazing how another language can open your mind,

      Ciao Ana Paula and thank you for your nice words! Our approach is to teach Italian through English - with explanations in English and frequent comparison with English. So if you feel confident learning in English and you can understand our content without struggling - of course you are welcome on board! You'll see that knowing Portuguese will also be helpful to you - some words and structures are similar! 💪 Benvenuta 😍

    Ciao Manu. I have been learning the Italian Language for several years and was always frustrated with my lack of comprehension of spoken Italian. I had heard of passive listening but gave it little credence.
    I tried it for one week with 3-4 hours per day listening to TG2000 Italian news. By the end of the week I was amazed by how much more I understood the conversation, the speed seemed to had slowed and I was able to pick out individual words far easier. since doing this my comprehension has increased 10 fold. This is one of the best tools I have found to help me on my journey to being a happy little Italian language learner.

    I always wanted to learn Italian. But thought it was complicated..I just checked out QVC Italia, and was surprised how many words I actually understood. I'm German, and I think that might help since the vowels are pronounced the same. This seems like it'll be lots of fun. Thanks Manu.

My niece's husband is from an Italian family so it will be nice to be able to surprise him with a conversation.

    Sì, Manu! My Paternal Great Grandfather came to Chicago from Basilicata (near Potenza) but sadly, the language was not passed to me, although I did hear my grandparents speak Italian with neighbors from time to time. Therefore, English is my mother tongue. Now I am an Italian citizen by descent and trying to learn my father tongue! I am already at your 8th video in this series and I have learned more here than I have with Babbel and Rosetta Stone! I am going to continue to watch these videos and even replay them a few times as well as keep listening to Caffé Italiano con Manu, your podcasts and QVC Italia per your suggestions. I plan to visit Italy this summer for a few months and see what I can soak up during my time there. Once I get back and see what I have learned, I plan to become an official student! I am going to try and go all the way to C2 so that I can be more confident when I move to the EU a few years from now!

If you want to take GCSE Ancient Greek or GCSE Meteorology or GCSE engineering or whatever you are interested in, you simply register with an Examinations Board (there are several different ones) as a private candidate. If you want to take GCSE Italian, and your school does not offer that opportunity, simply take the exam as a private candidate.
