"My husband and I took this course before went to Italy. Not only were we able to communicate with the locals, we learned a lot of helpful information about navigating our way around. Manu explains things in such an easy to learn manner. His positive and eager attitude is infectious and makes you want to succeed."

"I definitely loved this course because it was helpful to be able to listen to the audio while working or driving. I used to look up top x words on YouTube, but it is difficult to find trustworthy videos! After going through this course I�m able to remember the vocabulary so much better because of Manu�s silly and funny pneumonic tricks! Usually the YouTube v..." Read more

"For most of my life I failed at languages and just thought that I did not have an aptitude for learning them. After using a few apps to learn a little bit of Italian vocabulary, I found Manu on YouTube and when he announced that he was starting his From Zero to Italian course I signed up for it immediately and have never looked back! From day one I have been..." Read more

"In my experience Manu is unique. Having tried to learn French in the 1990's and Italian in the last 3 years I have lots of experience of language courses and teachers. Manu stands out from the rest for a number of reasons. Firstly he is obviously passionate about teaching, but in my view (and more importantly) about learning languages. For this reason I beli..."

"As an English teacher, it wasn�t difficult for me to see Manu had the teaching skills I was looking for as a learner of Italian � and more. In the first few months of taking Manu�s course lessons I began to feel confident with Italian for the first time. Before that I seemed to be in a perpetual state of struggle, trepidation and confusion. Manu is very natu..." 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 gra..." Read more

"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. He begi..." Read more

"I am now half way through Intermediate Level One after completing Beginner Levels One and Two, that I am still here and even more enthusiastic than ever speaks for itself. Being over 50 and a technophobe this programme is easy to use and offers so many resources to keep you coming back for more. I have even managed to use the Chat facility which proved to be..."

"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 to 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."

"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 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, Wit..." 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, one th..." 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

"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 learnin..." Read more

"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 beau..." 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

"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

"Finishing A2; just came from a visit to Italy and it was great that I was able to communicate well in most of the cases. And yes, it was very encouraging when Italians did not switch into English once I started speaking to them in Italian! Looking forward to take the next course. Thank you Manu! Also, Cristiana and Alessia are such amazing professionals, so..." Read more
