People don't realize how great it is to learn a foreign language for free

[PaulaWordCrafts]

After years of trying to learn Italian - using Duolingo, Living Languages, and Rosetta Stone - I am finally learning Italian through Italy Made Easy!

[sgtpepper]

I love how bright and positive Manu is. It's infectious

[janjohnson]

Manu is the best teacher I have ever had. I’ve been studying Italian with Italy Made Easy for almost three years now and have enjoyed every moment. I’m not naturally fast at learning and so I worked through the sessions in my own time without any pressure. Sometimes I went through the same section a few times to get full understanding and sometimes the sessions were quick and easy. The content is varied throughout the course so it doesn’t become tedious or boring. I’d definitely recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn Italian or to improve their current knowledge.

[bacardichasers]

wow, 6 WHOLE HOURS! that's A LOT OF WORK. non sono una principiante, ma mi sa che mi guarderò questo video perché Manu è fantastico <3

[martinfordv]

Im about 60 lessons into the "Zero to Italian" program. I have been learning Italian on and off for years (I would say mostly off because I feel that, in hindsight, I wasn't putting in the effort), and all of the other programs I tried, make me REALLY appreciate Italy Made Easy. Sooo many things that didn't make sense to me for YEARS, explained in no time.

If you try this program and are not happy with it, then I sincerely don't think you will be happy with any program.

[kanyaankelo]

I literally just started learning Italian. It’s been 3 weeks filled with confusion 😅
I’m glad that I’ve stumbled upon your channel. Brilliant tutor! Grazie mille!

[forzaitalia]

This is great. It's always confusing knowing where to start, or sorting through the content. Your stuff is always top tier.

[MattJackson]

Grazie mille, Manu! This has to be one of the best videos on YouTube. Matt di Perth.

By the way, I was watching on TV Italian series “Mia amica géniale” and, since most of the events were taking place in Naples, it was hard to understand because they were speaking with local dialect. One other thing: because of my line of work in entertainment, I was working one day with Nicoletta Mantovani, who was married to Luciano Pavarotti. I tried to speak with her in Italian and she complimented me on my skills, which was very flattering. That gives me even more motivation to study Italian!😊

[hakousan]

This dude is the best Italian teacher on YouTube. Grazie mille, Manu!

[KDiG]

Grazie Manu! Questo è estremamente generoso da parte tua e un tale dono per noi.

[jamesagnew]

Manu, I appreciate your lessons so much. I have been learning Italian off and on since 1996 and your program is by far the best resource I have found.

[richardrichard]

This is simply fantastic, all you need to know.

The best 6 hours you could possibly for free.

Thanks Manu😎❤

[vapingamers]

Caio! Si Manu...I have been using your methods, albeit a bit slow for me since it takes me a bit longer around about a month, however, for anyone looking at learning Italian, you do an amazing job. I am thankful to you and the team who have put all of this stuff together for us to learn. It is a beautiful language and I am enjoying learning it so much more then I thought. Your process has been a huge help.

This is hands down the best method I have found and has been keeping me encouraged to move forward. Grazie Manu!

[MissaOftheDawn]

After sampling a bunch of your YouTube videos and your podcast (which I still listen to for the immersion!), I took the plunge and signed up for your course yesterday and so far I absolutely love it. I was self learning for a year and I have a lot of knowledge gaps, or some things that I don't fully understand, just memorized some certain examples, so finally having everything explained properly and fully is such a relief. I've started from the very beginning of your course, so some of it is review for me and now I also get a chance to deepen my understanding and fill in any gaps I might have.

Thanks so much for the course, I really love it a lot so far!

[Aileen-vnzt]

Hi Manu the reason older people often have greater vocabulary is because we studied Latin at school. It's not taught much in the UK any more.

[dominiquedeangelo]

I love watching your videos. I really wanted to learn Italian with your site, to speak better with my family in Italy, Unfortunately I couldn't afford the up in price. But I will continue to watch your YouTube videos because I enjoy your teaching.

[richardrichard]

This is fantastic....questo e fantastico, e Manu

[shaps]

learning in our native language is YES!!!! I have taken so many classes and when I try to make it make sense in my native language the teacher scolded me for trying to translate into english to make it make sense to myself and my classmates. She wanted it all to be in italian- in a beginner class!
