"This course was so good, Manu's enthusiasm really rubs off on you and although I am a slow learner (65 year) it suddenly began to sink in. On a recent holiday in Italy I was able to make conversation(with lots of mistakes and lots of laughter) my Italian friends and strangers alike wre so pleased with me trying that I gained confidence which is very importan..."

"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 con..."

"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 makes sen..." 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 fe..." Read more

"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 more..."

"This is the perfect companion to the �Speak Italian From Day One� Course. I really loved the way Manu would give you the words and give you the English word that would relate to the Italian words. Even his gestors in describing words are rememrable Everything he did just made words just stick. It has been a couple of months since our trip to Italy but I can..." Read more

"What first convinced me to join Italian made easy was Manu had a course about Italian for travel. He said something to the effect of, �You are going on vacation; you don�t want to learn the language but you want to get the most enjoyment out of your trip.� Wow, that was me! And that is all that I wanted. It is refreshing that someone understood the common tr..." Read more

"Have been with Manu since the beginning of the Academy. After several years of college classes, Meet-ups, private tutors, iTalki & other mobile apps & You Tube videos I love the pace, content & Manu's videos to keep my Italian learning goals on track. I am very happy with my progress & the positive coaching every step from Beginning 1 -2 & now Intermediate 1..." Read more

"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 effort in,..."

"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 to..."

"First day in Rome, It felt almost familiar due to all the little stories and insights that Manu has shared. I am making myself understood at a basic level.. Even got a smile from the immigration officer when I greeted and thanked him in broken italian Grazie mille Manu"

"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 had man..." Read more

"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 exercises..." 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. Grazi..." Read more

"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 differen..." Read more

"I have tried studying on my own with books and also have attended evening classes but I can honestly say that I have learned so much more with the Italy Made Easy online course. There are so many resources and material available to keep you more than busy and native Italians with whom you can actually have a chat with in order to build confidence in that are..." Read more

"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, innovat..." Read more

"This was a great course to complement the other work I'm doing to learn Italian...it gets "right to the point" by targeting those tough sounds and I found I was far more confident when speaking. I recently returned from a trip to Italy and I can honestly say Manu's courses made the difference between an "OK" trip and a fabulous one. I was able to order food..." Read more

"Just completed Italian Level 1 and am working on Italian Level 2. Italy Made Easy courses are the best! Manu is a fantastic Italian teacher! I've taken other Italian courses, and have learned more with Manu in the last few months than I did with other instructors. Manu provides so many tools to help you learn the Italian language - then are fun and keep you..." 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 fun a..." Read more

"Great course and I found the method a very good aid to remembering . Manu is a very good relaxed and enthusiastic tutor. Perhaps it would be useful to have more vocabulary couses like this say another 400 words . I do like so much the fact that these courses(all of them) are not edited because there is no jumping and because its more natural to see it like a..." Read more
