"I have been studying Italian for many years but always with the feeling that I wasn’t getting anywhere. Indeed, my lack of progress had almost caused me to give up, roll up in a ball, hide in the corner etc and then, and then... I found Manu! Without a doubt he is the best teacher around and his courses are proving to be real game changers for me. If you hav..." Read more

"This is the continuation of the beginner one course, and the goodness continues. I'm actually in school and sometimes have to take an extended 'break' from my studies to keep up with my graduate course load. Another great part of Manu's course is that i can pick back up where I left off easily, and go over the previous lessons if I forget what they were abou..." Read more

"This course is a really great resource for getting to know the Italian language. I have tried learning Italian before and nothing ever stuck for me, it was all memorization and copy work. The way Manu structures this course gives the learner a more intuitive grasp of the language. Instead of teaching standard phrases that will supposedly get you by on a week..." Read more

"I began following italy made easy after a 3 part you tube series. When the academy was formed I joined. There is no way I could have learned what I learned using the free Android apps or even the pay subscription apps. The reason is the detail they leave out. You can't not truly grasp a language with images alone. I have completed level one and than did..." Read more

"I have tried Pimsleur, Yabla, Babble, other online courses - all have been lacking in so many ways. Before signing up I wondered if a virtual course could truly teach me Italian. Don't hesitate to sign up for an Academy.italymadeeasy.com course, it works. The lessons are well thought out and the content excellent. For me personally, this is what..." Read more

"Finishing A2; just came from a visit to Italy and it was great that I was able to communicate well in most of the cases. And yes, it was very encouraging when Italians did not switch into English once I started speaking to them in Italian! Looking forward to take the next course. Thank you Manu! Also, Cristiana and Alessia are such amazing professional..." Read more

"My husband and I took this course before went to Italy. Not only were we able to communicate with the locals, we learned a lot of helpful information about navigating our way around. Manu explains things in such an easy to learn manner. His positive and eager attitude is infectious and makes you want to succeed."

"If you have been struggling to learn Italian through other methods and not getting the results you hoped for like I was, then don’t hesitate to take this course with Manu. Before signing up for this class I thought perhaps I was already too advanced and wouldn’t learn much, but boy was I mistaken! There’s so much great info in this class you are bound to g..."

"You know the old saying..."you've tried the rest, now try the best"? Well, that's so true with this course. I've tried apps, books, cds, you name it and it's probably sitting in my bookcase. I've made amazing progress since I started FZTI. I attend a language school but don't always understand the grammar or vocab. With Manu, I have the opportunity to sit..." Read more

"I have been studying Italian since Manu started his Zero to Italian course last year. I am amazed at the amount of work he has applied to the structure of his courses and I have thoroughly enjoyed his dedicated approach and professional approach to all he does. A born 'teacher' he possesses the unique character of being able to put people at ease and his exp..." Read more

"I have checked out a couple of different Italian classes. FZTI is by far the most outstanding. The method is very sound by teaching the foundation skills that are then built on in a logical order. By learning the foundations of the language you can make up sentences, rather than learning how to mimic a few phrases. Manu is a skilled and passionate teach..." Read more

"As a new language learner, I appreciate the straightforward way Manu teaches this course. The foundation building is critical for learning the language. I'm excited about building skills that will allow me to put things together in a personal way. I have been hesitant to learn Italian, feeling that it would be too difficult for me. Manu does a great job givi..." Read more

"In my experience Manu is unique. Having tried to learn French in the 1990's and Italian in the last 3 years I have lots of experience of language courses and teachers. Manu stands out from the rest for a number of reasons. Firstly he is obviously passionate about teaching, but in my view (and more importantly) about learning languages. For this reason I..."

"For most of my life I failed at languages and just thought that I did not have an aptitude for learning them. After using a few apps to learn a little bit of Italian vocabulary, I found Manu on YouTube and when he announced that he was starting his From Zero to Italian course I signed up for it immediately and have never looked back! From day one I have been..." Read more

"As an English teacher, it wasn’t difficult for me to see Manu had the teaching skills I was looking for as a learner of Italian – and more. In the first few months of taking Manu’s course lessons I began to feel confident with Italian for the first time. Before that I seemed to be in a perpetual state of struggle, trepidation and confusion. Manu is ve..." Read more

"A great continuation of the FZTI Italian series. Manu’s method of teaching is easy to engage with. The explanations are clear and really do let you know how the language is used rather than learning grammar by rote. Learning with Manu is a pleasure and feels personal, just as if was sat in the room with you. Using this course, following his suggestions a..." Read more

"I cannot say enough good things about this amazing course! Manu has put together something truly remarkable.

There's a whole community of people with whom you can practice and discuss. T..." Read more

"In just this first course I have learned so much more than in any other Italian course I have taken. Manu explains things in a way that makes sense to me helping me grasp the Italian language better. Now will purchase beginner level 2 with enthusiasm. Mille Gracie Manu Baci Isabella"

"There is no magic or even an easy way to learn a language, but Manu makes it as easy as possible and makes it a pleasure to accomplish! I love that he acknowledges the things that are difficult in language learning and offers tools and encouragement for facing those challenges and making continual progress! Manu is an exceptionally good teacher and a kind an..." Read more

"I am now half way through Intermediate Level One after completing Beginner Levels One and Two, that I am still here and even more enthusiastic than ever speaks for itself. Being over 50 and a technophobe this programme is easy to use and offers so many resources to keep you coming back for more. I have even managed to use the Chat facility which proved to..." Read more

"My Italian teacher has been away so we continued our class using the resources provided on Italy Made Easy - Stories, Podcasts, dictation, and shadowing. There were so many things we could do on our own so this is just a suggestion for those who don't have a 'live' teacher or who want to practise with a group but don't have a native speaker to help with pro..."

"In the usual Italian classes, you must progress through the chapters and the book even if you did not understand or learn the contents. You just plough through to the end of the quarter or period. And then just when you get to past tense or future tense, the course is over. So you never progress. Manu's class of From Zero to Italian is a world apart...." Read more

"I finished Beginning Level One and Two, worked along with other resources to supplement the course materials and am now in Intermediate Italian Level One. I give these courses TOP grade for several reasons.
