“Could be good but they constantly advertise their website - I don’t care. Get on with it... you spend more time listening to the name of their website than Italian. I can’t wait to tell everyone I meet on my Italian holiday to visit their website to pick up lesson notes. I won’t be able to order...”Read full review »

“I've completed Beginner Season 1 I'm halfway through seaon 2 beginner season 2, and it's very grammar heavy, and I realised quickly that there is little to no "essential" vocab that beginners need. The program launches in Past Conditionals, Third Conditionals and the like at the start of...”Read full review »

“Would have been ok without all the constant and long lasting "news" where they are doing PR for the show. There are more news about the show than actual learning Italian.”
“I have just started listening to this podcast and I find it very easy to listen to, I like the banter between the presenters , hopefully it will help me make conversations in a mountain race I'm doing !”

“This podcast is very cheesy. I find the "silly" back and forth banter ridiculous and completely unfunny. They need to do more teaching and less fooling around. Coffee break Italian, while taught by Scottish people is a lot better than this.”

“you get set up for autopay without knowing it. it reels you in with “free lifetime account” then automatically charges your account 25/mo until you realize what happened. I’m sure there was a clever fine print somewhere saying your account is on autopay. kinda dishonest to tout “free account”...”Read full review »

“I tried using this at the absolute beginner level. The chats between the hosts were interminable and uninteresting, and the dialogues failed to focus on the vocabulary a beginner would really need.”

“Прекрасный подкаст. Однако не пойму, как увидеть текстовые заметки к каждому выпуску? Двойной клик на экран айфона, как советуют в стартовом уроке, ничего не дал.. Подскажите!”

“Marco and chinsya, I have to say that you both have done great work. The explanation is so casual and lucid. I'm very happy with this. Keep up the great work :D :D. Hope to hear more lessons from you!!”
“i always wanted to learn italian but i never had time to study in a italian course. With this i can listen to the classes when i have time and i can carry in my ipod, so this way i can listen while i am in the bus or walking on the street! congratulations for you guys!!”
“Although they implied it's a free podcast it's just an advert to buy their product by offering a "20% discount for a limited time only" I didn't even get to even try out their product ! Stay away from this scam !”

After asking each other various questions in English about life goals and career aspirations, the hosts finally announced that our lesson in traditional Italian foods would begin. "Spaghetti. Repeat: Spaghetti...Lasagne....”Read full review »

“I have been trying many podcasts for learning italian and these two are the best. Not only is it fun, but they help make it slow paced as well. I feel like I am in the room with the goofy and fun Cinzia and Marco and I'm learning very quickly. Great!”

“This is a very misleading podcast. You only get 3 of each lessons for free, and then you have to purchase the additional lessons from the website. Even during the "free trial period". Half of each lesson is a major sales pitch to sign up for their website, which also advertised a forum where...”Read full review »

“The two guides in this podcast, Marco and Cinzia, are INCREDIBLY annoying. 70% of the time they are joking and flirting and nothing is about learning Italian. What a waste of my time. This is NOT the podcast to use to actually learn Italian.”

“In a 10 minute lesson, there is 3 min of them telling you to go to their website and sign up for their "free lifetime membership", followed by a 30 second intro to the lesson, then the lesson which is about 2 1/2 minutes. The remainder of the "lesson" is more them telling you to go to the...”Read full review »

“Buon giorno! This one of my favorite Italian lessons podcast. Very useful, fun conversation practices. I agree that is very important to repeat three time. The second time is like a quiz, to guess how much I know, the third time is to understand what I did not know. Second part learning new...”Read full review »

“I didn't like the fact that there is no break between the hosts saying something in Italian the first time, and subsequently repeating it. If you say it fast (which is how it seems), it doesn't help much that every sentence is repeated three times. something that would really help is giving a few...”Read full review »
