"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. The material is well organized, extremely well thought out, varied in content, cumulative and builds upon each previous section to provide a grasp of..." Read more

"I have had made many differing attempts over the years at learning Italian using courses, attending classes, on-line apps etc. and although sometimes the content was good I never achieved my objective of being able to converse in Italian. All that has changed since I started learning here on ItalyMadeEasy with Manu. Manu has a passion for helping people..." Read more

"This course is not just very informative; it’s very organized! You learn at your own pace and can review past units as much as you need to. There’s guidance as well as flexibility for each individual. I appreciate the solid foundation ‘from zero-Italian I’ is building for me. All of Manu’s lessons are fun, relevant and comprehensive. If you’ve gotten yoursel..." Read more

"This program is the best that I have tried...and I have tried many! The live chats have really boosted my speaking skills and confidence. The whole team here is just always so helpful and nice! Thank you Manu for this fantastic program!!"

"After completing Beginning Level One I dove straight into Beginner Level Two and loved it! Learning another language is a serious time commitment and something that I hadn't fully appreciated before Manu pointed this out. There are no false promises in these courses, there is no shortcut way to learn, but there is an exciting and innovative way and this is..." Read more

"When I discovered Italy Made Easy, I had been studying Italian for almost 3 years. I had been self teaching using Duolingo, Pimsleur, grammar books and other miscellaneous YouTube videos. I was doing well, but I felt stuck at the upper beginner level. Because I had learned a lot on my own I decided to start with Italian Beginner Level 2. I am so glad that I..." Read more

"Before taking this course I had been functioning as an upper level beginner in Italian for years. I'd taken two night classes, studied numerous books and worked with both Duolingo and Babbel. Nothing seemed to move me past the present tense. When in Italy, I could order coffee and locate a laundromat but not much else. With family in Italy I wanted more,..." Read more

"Like many others I have tried to learn Italian by various different methods, learning set phrases (great until the person responds with a completely different sentence than the one you have memorised!), from books, private tutor, Rosetta Stone, etc. Why is this course different from the rest? In my experience because it is FUN AND ENJOYABLE, I actually l..." Read more

"I haven’t tried to learn a new language since high school, and it didn’t go well then. I accomplished more in a few months with Manu than I did in years then. I just returned from my first trip to Italy, and this course gave me the confidence to engage with native Italian speakers that I would normally be horrified to do."

"I have tried many self-taught approaches and this is the one that really works! I like his emphasis on learning enough grammatical structure so I can have small conversations in Italian, as opposed to memorizing certain phrases. His enthusiasm and love of teaching is very evident in the lessons which are well structure to help build an understanding of the..." Read more

"What's really great about the program is not being left alone to learn. The videos give great content and examples. The forums allow you to ask questions and communicate with others. The access to native Italians (not technically part of the course, I know) lets you speak, which is what we all are really here to do.. It's a whole community of support, on..." Read more

"I registered for Beginning Italian 2 to review topics not fully secure to me. The class has exceeded all expectations. The driving force is Manu Venditti. Manu’s class is not a walk in the park. He has high standards and makes students stretch to realize their capacity as Italian speakers. Manu demonstrates a steadfast commitment to growth in student lea..." Read more

"Like many language learners, I tried many methods on my own- from informal apps to self taught books to podcasts. It wasn't until I took this course that I really started to speak and learn Italian. Manu is an excellent, fun-loving teacher that makes learning the language fun! I first met him on YouTube and decided to be one of the first to try out this c..." Read more

"I have studied Italian for approximately four years. Even after finishing the advanced Rosetta Stone software (super expensive!) I was still unable to converse in Italian. That is because their courses are poorly constructed. Grammar, verb conjugations, and the pronunciations of a simple alphabet are not even addressed. I also tried other various teaching sy..."

"I have tried several popular language learning courses and have never made it more than a few months before giving up. Manu's ability to convey this information in an "easily digestible" manner has kept me motivated because I am actually making real progress. He helps you understand the building blocks of the language so that you can actually USE it to make..." Read more

"This Italian program from 0 to Italian is extremely good, my passion for learning becomes only bigger during the course. Why? I believe the program is made by a high level, passionate and professional linguist who understands what needs to be done to learn a language. I truly believe his main goal is not economical but just to teach students like me the be..." Read more
