"I have taken face-to-face classes many times over several years. Usually make it through Beginner I & II, sometimes onto Intermediate - and I still felt stuck with a little grammar, getting confused with Indirect Object Pronouns, DOP, and other things to memorize! With Italy Made Easy, there's little to no memorizing - and what there is to memorize mak..." Read more

"I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated "Italy Made Easy" almost every day for 3 years. I began with Manu's free, random YouTube videos. Then, thankfully, I subscribed to the Beginner Level 1 Course. I am now progressing through Interm Level 1. Manu is a gifted teacher and coach, one of the finest and most enthusiastic I have ever had... and I have..." Read more

"Having tried most of the well known online learning systems, I feel strongly that this is the one that has the most effective techniques and information. It’s as if you met a new enthusiastic friend who is dying to teach you Italian, but the friend also happens to have deep grammatical knowledge but knows where the real paths are to learning a language. I..." Read more

"Manu does everything he can to facilitate learning of the Italian Language. This course helped me get up and running quickly, and was enjoyable throughout. I can't recommend his courses highly enough - you simply can't go wrong with Manu as your guide. I still remember the phrases offered in this course almost 2 years later. I feel confident I could speak wi..." Read more

"Why do I love this course so much? I have access to all of Manu's inspiring, entertaining, and straight forward lessons whenever and wherever I want. I contemplated taking a leisure course in Italian at a local university - but how great is it if I want to listen to "How to conjugate a verb?"; "indefinite and definite articles"; "plural nouns and adjective..."

"If you want to learn Italian and also the structure of learning a language Manu and Italy Made Easy are for you. I really enjoy watching the videos and doing the tasks. The use of Manu's quizlet sets is amazing for learning the vocabulary and such a fun way to pass the time on the train etc. Invest in yourself with the course and also the community which..."

"I have struggled with so many concepts during my Italian studies .I grew up in a household of a family which spoke the Sicilian dialect and it has been difficult for me to begin to study a more formal Italian . Since enrolling in the course I have been able to go step by step to learn the foundation of this beautiful language. The videos, shadowing exercis..." Read more

"Honestly, this is the only way I've made any progress in learning other than actual immersion. Italy Made Easy works because you understand the "why and how", or the basic underpinnings of the language. Of course, there are plenty of tips and tricks, as well as clarified exceptions. Thank you!"

"I highly recommend Italy Made Easy’s Academy. I have dabbled for years trying to learn Italian using many different methods. While I was successful enough to get by as a tourist in Italy, I was never able to meet my goal of having the language make sense in a way that would allow me to actually converse, not just parrot sentences. Manu’s approach is differ..." Read more

"I’ve followed Manu from the beginning and am just about to complete Level 2. The platform and content are constantly improving and there are a ton of resources now available in the Academy.. I particularly value the the video chat app which gives you the chance to speak to their lovely native Italians. Can’t wait to tackle the Intermediate course next. Graz..." Read more

"What can I say? TAKE THIS COURSE!! I have been trying to learn Italian on and off for 40 years! Manu is a superb teacher. He makes the lessons easy to understand and fun. The community's great and the resources exceptional. I have learned so much with Italy Made Easy, much more than with any other course (and I've tried a few!) Grazie mille Manu!"

"I've tried to learn Italian multiple times over the years -- through college courses, continuing education classes, and (most recently) a go-it-alone approach with another online platform. I'd accumulated a modest vocabulary but still lacked the grammar skills and confidence to speak. From Zero to Italian has been a revelation for me. Manu's logical, innov..." Read more

"When I booked a ticket to Italy I had no Italian whatsoever....three months later I had enough of a grasp to understand the basic needs I had as a single person travelling.....it really helped not to feel anxious.....the biggest challenge was to remind the wonderful Italian people not to speak to me in English but to speak in slow Italian ...."

"If you are even remotely considering taking this course, just do it. Manu makes this so easy and is a joy to work with. I took this course before going on my hope not to be once in a lifetime trip, which I wanted to get the most out of. This course is designed with the traveler in mind, not the I want to learn the whole language from ground up crowd. I tried..." Read more

"What a great course! Manu is such a wonderful teacher, just right for me. The course has a nice pace and is focused on learning Italian, not phrases or traveler Italian, but actually lays the foundations for fluency. I am enjoying myself and actually learning another language, something I have wanted to do for years! Thanks Manu!"

"Manu Venditti has created the most comprehensive, in depth, innovative, safe, caring, friendly, fun and responsive community for learning Italian on the Internet. Period. I have tried all of the big programs, which will remain nameless, and there is nothing even close to Italy Made Easy. I started just over a year ago as an absolute beginner and now am a..." Read more

"I have been following Manu's youTube videos, and greatly appreciated them. I love his style of teaching, and decided to come over here to have a complete, structured course. This guy is a great teacher. The course is well worth it. Once I have finished Zero to Italian for beginners, I'll sign up immediately for the Intermediary level."

"I love studying Italian with Manu! I am in Beginner Level II now. 2 years ago when planning a trip to Italy I purchased Speak Italian from Day 1, and found it very helpful. There were cultural tips and expressions, and information on typical Italian meals and restaurants. I have also purchased The Top 400 Italian Words. Now in Beginner II I am learning m..." Read more

"As an older learner (74) I was nervous about taking this course but so needed it before my month exploring Sardegna last year. I became sufficiently fluent to have all my needs met, ask for directions, order food etc. I realise I was speakig more slowly and found it hard sometimes to understand different dialects but I could make my self understood enough..."
