"Like many of you, I tried many, MANY different ways to learn a new language, the Teach Yourself range, Pimsleur, dozens of apps and I even paid for the mighty Rosetta Stone. And honestly, I should've saved my cash. What the team here at Italy Made Easy have managed to accomplish is truly special. No one can give you a language, you have to put the effor..." Read more

"I'm so happy to have found Manu on Youtube a few months ago when I started searching for how to learn Italian. I tried to learn Italian years ago from a private teacher who would only speak in Italian.That is not how I learn so decided that was not the route to take this time. So happy I found Manu had online courses so here I am. His teaching style is f..." Read more

"I took this course before going to Italy, I also watched a lot of Manu's videos on YouTube. I felt quite confident in shops and restaurants, I made lots of mistakes, but it was so much fun! Everyone was appreciative of my efforts to speak Italian. I was traveling with friends who have relatives in Italy so I was thrown into the deep end of the pool from day..." Read more

"I've been living in Milan for over a year and taking courses off and on for about six months. I've taken B2 TWICE in two different schools and since they teach Italian IN Italian with explanations only in Italian from Day 1 in Italy, there are some things that are just not clear to an English speaker. I am reviewing B1 with Manu now hoping he will shortly h..." Read more

"I am so happy I found this course, I have just finished the beginner level 1 course and I can already speak some Italian! It has given me such a solid foundation. Manu teaches so well, explaining EVERYTHING in both Italian and English. I have gone from someone who really struggles to learn to someone who now enjoys it. Thank you Manu you really made some mag..." Read more

"Okay. Listen Up. I've tried it all - Rosetta Stone, Duolingo, Babbel! Manu Venditti's course methodology @ Italy Made Easy is so valuable. I learned vocabulary from the other resources but my true understanding and skills have rocket-shipped with IME. The coursework is presented in a clear and concise manner. The webinars are thoughtful; the interactio..." 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 and u..." 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 pron..."

"I took Beginning Italian I and decided to take this vocabulary course before proceeding to Beginning Italian II. My approach was to familiarize myself with these useful Italian words, and then to also learn to correctly pronounce these words, and to correctly spell these words pronouncing them out-loud. If I was not confident on how to sound out the word I u..." Read more

"So happy I found this course. I had been learning Italian for a while but my pronunciation was still in need of a lot of work! This has really helped as Manu is such a great teacher. One really useful thing is that once the course has been completed you can go back and retake parts of it - a useful refresher for me. Everything is clear and there are plenty o..." 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"
