Is this program for you?

How it works
I send an email 2 times a week (Mondays and Fridays) with study ideas and materials for you. They include videos, texts, podcasts, reels, and anything in real Italian, created for Italians, but comprehensible for you, a beginner/pre-intermediate learner. I add tasks, and vocabulary for you to learn (using free apps to have more fun). We practice together, daily, in the Notes and Chat section of this Substack.
{FACILE} - this means an exercise is for complete beginners
The materials
You will get:
newspaper articles
TV programmes
podcasts
recipes
videos
songs
and more. I use content created for Italians, so you are sure you’re learning real spoken Italian.
I’m an experienced teacher, so I know which authentic materials to choose for you.
We don’t only watch or listen. We learn together:
I prepare vocabulary sets (at least 5 words a week) for you
you learn them using free apps to make it fun
we write emails and chat messages
we do small language tasks
we engage in chats
My newsletter is designed for you to learn and actively use more vocabulary and sound like an Italian. It’s not only about understanding Italian content. We are in touch and practice together daily.
How to use my self-study materials?
It’s super easy, all you have to do is open my email (or one of the posts on Daily Italian here).
And follow the instructions!
For example, in Daily Italian #5, we listened to the song that won the Sanremo Festival this year. I prepared some activities for you to practice.
The most important topics like numbers, verb conjugations, food, weather etc. will come up regularly. So don’t worry if your results in the quizzes are not perfect immediately. Next time, it will go better!
Keep learning, doing the exercises and your Italian will get better in no time.
You can repeat every exercise and quiz as many times as you want.
Remember: you don’t have to do all the exercises I send. Do just one or two, it’s ok. When you have more time, you can do more.
It’s important to show up weekly, not to be the perfect student.
You can start from Daily Italian 1 or from Daily Italian you receive when you subscribe. It doesn’t matter, we regularly revise the previous materials (I’m a teacher, remember?).
