    • Lessons 1-10: you’ll be learning how to greet people, introduce yourself, talk about where you’re from, introduce your friends or members of your family, use Italian in basic travel situations like buying things, getting around and coping with language difficulties;
    • Lessons 11-20: you’ll learn more travel language and will be able to order drinks and food, check into hotels, go shopping, ask for information and use public transport;
    • Lessons 21-30: you’ll perfect your travel language, learn to deal with a visit to the doctor or pharmacy in Italy, use the phone, and also talk more about yourself, your job, and your hobbies and pastimes;
    • Lessons 31-40: we’ll be recording these episodes in Italy and you’ll join us in a series of conversations putting all the language you’ve covered so far into practice and extending your vocabulary and understanding of Italian grammar.

Great fun way to get into learning Italian

I started listening to this podcast about a month ago and I have learned so much. I love how this podcast is structured - it’s so easy to follow for beginners. I listen to it whenever I’m driving, going for walks or just doing stuff around the house. Mark and Francesca make it so much fun to learn the language.

Excellent learning tool

This is a really thorough podcast - it covers all aspects of the language, and is excellently done. The dynamic between the podcasters flows naturally, and it is a really great way of either learning Italian from scratch or supplementing what knowledge you already have. A lot can be learned in a short time. Very enjoyable - highly recommended.
