Aural approach is valuable. Aural approach is unique and valuable. Both examples and readings deal with day-to-day situations with humor. Problems with site such as pop-ups are minor. “AI” needs monitoring. Forum has been dropped. Questions regarding billing for renewal were initially met with canned response. Rating upgraded after billing problem solved. (Thanks Elizabeth.)

Stefano the genius polyglot- Really helpful Stefano is an extremely intelligent and amazing person . He is a polyglot, that means genius! A little bit sarcastic and ironic sometimes (most of the times), but that makes the lessons more interesting! I am glad that Devil sent him to me! Highly recommended! P.S. He is kind of misanthrope, but that's his perfectionism!

Stefano's work is the basis of my lanuage learning. Stefano has created an incredible system for people who actually want to talk and communicate with Italian people. It's both fast and easy as well as nuanced, in-depth and measured. I employ several different methods from watching films to talking with a tutor twice weekly, but ThinkinItaltian is the basis of my study and the basis of my progressive learning. I'm now at lesson 146 and I leave for Italy in 7 weeks. Non vedo l'ora!

Ripeti Con Me I'm using the "Ripeti Con Me" Italian audio course in preparation for a trip to Italy. Unlike courses that emphasize grammar, Ripeti Con Me focuses on speaking from the first day. I also like that I can learn on the go. FluentSimple also provides graded readings of short stories, news, and practical conversations to learn faster. If you want to know how to speak Italian, then I recommend this program.

At last, the best in the field online Italian langage learning system. Think in Italian is the course we have longed for as we plod through many insufficient online offerings. Seamlessly combining composition, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary building, the AI factor offers ongoing assessment and correction. It's as good or even better than having a real time tutor because any and all aspects don't have a time stamp. My highest praise is that Stefano Lodolo has created a modern classic course of real learning that makes self-delusion about one's real progress impossible. Each Think in Italian session is challenging, fun, and inspires hope that one might, in time, attain the ability not only to think but also converse and compose in correct, colloquial, even scholarly Italian. Bravissimo e mille grazie, Stefano. ---Suzanne Rini
