  • The best Italian language podcast!

    I just love❤️love❤️love❤️ this podcast. Not only is It a really fun way to learn Italian but it’s sooo useful too - far more helpful than just slogging away at the grammar or boring phrase books. I travel to Italy twice a year and series 1 and 2 have both been invaluable in ensuring that I make the best of my time there. Can’t wait for series 3 now!!!

So far, Season 2 has way too much chitter chatter between the hosts and not enough substance. Maybe it’s too elementary for my level of Italian learning. And, I’m not a big fan of idioms, which they tend to use a l... more
