“I absolutely love this podcast! It’s my first time learning Italian in a completely different way than I did with other languages in school and university. I’ve realized that anyone can speak a new language, even at an A1 level. The methodology is phenomenal; all the phrases and vocabulary are...”Read full review »

“love it and it’s definitely helpful for people who has a foundation of Italian learning!! but the music at both the beginning and end is always louder than the talking part and it’s very annoying. I hope that it could be fixed.”

“I’ve tried many tools for learning a language from apps to podcasts to books. This is one of the best.
The focus on real world situations and grammar sets it apart from solutions like Duolingo, which spend hours training you on less useful phrases without giving you the grammar tools to own the...”Read full review »

“I was raised in Italy until coming to the U.K. aged 10. I haven’t fluently spoken the language in circa 30 years and so this is a fantastic refresher for me, as learning this way seems more natural than via the language apps that teach you the ‘correct’ way but not necessarily how we actually...”Read full review »

“I’m learning Italian using an app (Speakly) at the same time. It uses more of an immersion approach which is great, but it doesn’t give you as much context as Coffee Break Italian. CBI doesn’t bang you over the head with grammar, but it gives you enough to recognize patterns and know what to use...”Read full review »
