What readers wrote back
Tom, Denver“First time I ordered an espresso and pastry without pointing at the counter. When the barista asked if I wanted it at the bar or a table, I actually understood him and answered in Italian. Small moment, but a huge confidence boost.”
David, Austin“Nothing in here feels overcomplicated. Seeing both sides of the exchange written out together with the English translations makes everything click. My wife and I practice the conversations in the evening taking turns with the roles.”
Michael, San Diego“I was paying thirty dollars a week for conversational tutoring and half the session was spent trying to figure out what scenarios to practice. Working through these 11 chapters gave me the structure I was missing. Easily saved me hundreds.”
Questions
Is it a book in the mail, or digital?
It's digital, so nothing is shipped. After you pay, your download link arrives by email, usually within a minute. You can open the book and the audio on your phone, tablet or computer.
I only remember a few words from my family. Is it too hard?
No. It starts from zero with ordering a coffee, and the English is beside every Italian line. It teaches clear, standard Italian. A starter book can't teach every family dialect, like Sicilian or Neapolitan, but standard Italian is understood all over Italy.
Can I hear how it sounds?
Yes. Every conversation has a recording you can play at normal speed or slower, as many times as you like. Tap play at the top of this page to hear the café scene from page 18.
Can I read it on my phone, or print it?
Both. There's nothing to install. It opens on your phone, tablet or computer, and you can print any pages you want. There is no paper edition.
What if it's not for me?
You have 30 days to ask for a full refund. You don't need to give a reason, and you keep the files. Email [email protected]. A real person answers.
