"This course really helps build a strong foundation for learning Italian. I tried a couple of apps (babel & duolingo) before enrolling and I feel like this course has explained things so much more clearly for me. I love the fact that Manu doesn't teach the clich� phrases that you get in other courses and instead gives you the tools to build the sentences on y..." Read more

"Manu is a gifted and giving instructor. I feel as though he has been beside me throughout this course. Also, I learned a lot of Italian! I had to take off one star because there are a number of typos throughout the course. They were obvious enough that I, a beginner could spot them, but I hope they did not cause confusion for others. Happy with what I have l..." Read more

"Manu covers so much really useful material in this course - verb tenses you see all the time and now I am more able to use them correctly. Lots of amazing material in Italian to practice with, too. Even if you've studied the grammar before, now you will understand it and be able to put it to use. And as always, tucked into each lesson are little tidbits of u..." Read more

"This course was great. Manu is charming and so much fun to listen to. I have tried a few methods for learning Italian, but now some concepts are locked in my brain. I love the linguistic explanations - so helpful. I am still shy to speak and hope to continue to tackle that as I prepare for another bike trip to Italy - hopefully this year. Thanks, Manu!!! Gra..."

"This is an amazing introduction to the Italian language! The lessons were structured in an easy to understand format and in such a way that I felt comfortable using what I learned immediately. The order of the topics, the pace of the lessons and the content were perfect for a student who is brand new to the Italian language as I was. The assignments and quiz..." Read more

"I've been teaching myself Italian for 10 years, and even as an Intermediate I still picked up valuable, incremental knowledge about proper pronunciation thanks to Speak Italian Like an Italian. And, I discovered things I was pronouncing incorrectly. I still plan to go back through it all over time to make sure I don't slip back into any bad habits."

"Like many students I have tried various Italian language programmes, Rosetta Stone, Babbel, Michelle Thomas, Italian Pod 101 to name just a few, But nothing can compare with Manu's Italy Made Easy. His approach and the rest of the team to learning is infectious and you will learn grammar that other platforms do not cover. Just to give one example the differe..." Read more

"I am excited to have found Italy Made Easy and especially this course. I have been learning for a short time and was told last year when in Italy that I sound too Australian. It is one thing knowing words but to be able to be understood is another and that is why I have loved this program. It has shown me where my problems lie and reinforces other learning...." Read more

"Thank you Manu for your easy to watch, listen and learn from presentation. Your teaching method that I have viewed so far in your Youtube videos enticed me to your website and courses. I am currently doing 2 x 1 hr classes per week though find your method makes it easier to understand and remember. I look forward to continuing my progress of learning the Ita..." Read more

"I've tried so many ways to learn Italian, and up until now always lost motivation and stopped after some time. I always wanted a full course that took me right through from the fundamentals, but at the same time understood what I needed to learn and what I didn't need to learn. Manu does just this in From Zero to Italian, he's great at keeping motivation up..." Read more

"I've taken a couple short courses from Manu before and they worked like a charm. After two trips to Italy, I can attest to the fact that his courses are absolutely effective in "the real world." Because I now require more in-depth Italian for work purposes, I've signed up for this more comprehensive course and I am loving it. Manu is an exceptionally strong..." Read more

"I recently completed this course and could not wait to start the next one. I'm grateful to be in the Beta course for Intermediate Italian 2 now. I don't know what else I can say that has not already been said about this outstanding program, except for... I just had a telephone conversation with an Italian family member. We spoke for about 15 minutes in Itali..." Read more

"What a trip! I have been scouring the internet for Italian content since I started learning 6 months ago and this is by far the most thorough, well thought out and fun way to learn. Manu is a born teacher, and is clearly enthusiastic about what he does . Technically, the software is easy to navigate....whether its taking quizzes, finding PDF's or submitting..." Read more

"The course material with Manu is simply fantastic. No other course will offer you this variety of teaching approaches and variety of methods for practice. With every lesson you will leave with a new "nugget" and with every assignment you will truly solidify some knowledge for the long haul. Pay attention to Manu and don't cut corners -- follow every suggesti..." Read more

"I don't even have to think about it: I'm giving this course five stars. Although I'm not a native English speaker I find Manu's explanations very easy to follow - he expresses himself very clearly. It's obvious from the get-go that Manu is an experienced and excellent teacher. What I liked most about this course are the units where he talks about the differe..." Read more

"My dream is to visit Italy (planning Fall 2020) and learn this beautiful language. I started out watching various You Tube videos and buying Italian language books, I even purchased a Rosetta Stone app on my phone. BIG MISTAKE. While i did learn some pronunciation, the whys and hows were never explained. Needless to say, I got bored. Oh and some of those You..." Read more

"Salute Manu! Complimenti! Questo era un corso grande e molto utile. Mi sento che abbia migliorato fra le sei settimane che abbia fatto il corso Intermedio 1. Sono una di quelli che abbiamo fatto tutto i corsi gramatici tra due anni, ma non sapevamo tenere una conversazione, non capivamo un film o video su YouTube d�Italini neanche quelli simplici, perch� non..."

"I have been doing this course alongside some of the others on offer and I feel it's a great companion. I like the videos because I get to hear Manu pronounce the words; so you have a better chance of getting them right yourself. He also has little tips and tricks on remembering them. And then sometimes he gives insights into Italian culture along the way lik..." Read more

"When I began this course I knew a bit of Italian, but was perpetually confused because so many concepts were unclear to me. Manu was able to explain them in a manner that allowed me to not only understand them, but to put them into practical use. The focus on communication and application of grammar, not just rote memorization and regurgitation, makes this c..." Read more

"I'm a bit over halfway through the Beginners course while also attending a weekly Italian beginners course in my home town. I can honestly say that I have got more from this course at the halfway point (about 5 months in my case) than I got in a whole year at the weekly 2 hour course. I was sceptical to enrol at first but I find Manu explains stuff so well a..." Read more

"As a current student, I can 100% recommend beginner Italian to anyone interested in learning the language. I originally signed up for the course and made it about halfway through before having to take an extended break (over a year). After returning to finish, I found that I still remembered a significant amount of what I had learned which I attribute both t..." Read more

"I have been taking continuing education Italian classes at Stanford University for the past two quarters with moderate success but sometimes feel stuck between classes as there is no one to ask if I have questions. I have learned so much from Manu's classes and the best part is that I can go back and review specific units whenever I need to. I can also pract..." Read more
