 At ItalianPod101.com, our goal is to make learning the Italian language easy and fun, while also incorporating culture and current issues into our lessons. We believe that the more you speak, the quicker you learn, so we have designed our program to get you speaking right away. Situational Italian is heavily stressed, and our team role plays various situations to demonstrate the proper form of Italian to use when speaking with friends, customers, executives, and so-on. Knowing the proper form to use separates good speakers from great speakers.Primary Format :
