Think In Italian is a Great Way to Learn! Think In Italian is different from a lot of other language learning sites because the repetition of phrases really does help you to begin thinking in Italian. I really appreciate the stories that you can read along with as well. They go from beginner to advanced. There are also many other features. Stefano and his team are so friendly and helpful answering questions of any kind. I highly recommend Think in Italian!!

Passive repetition not the best path to fluency Hmm, everybody here gives 5 stars. I'm surprised. "Ripeti con me!" promises to be different than the other courses and to lead to spoken fluency. Stefano has a lot of good lesson content on grammar and I like the graded "Leggi con me!" But, I don't believe that passive spoken repetition of a teacher is the best path to spoken fluency. I prefer methods where you are prompted to think of a correct reply and then to speak it. At least one well-known course teaches languages this way. I don't think "Ripeti con me!" passive spoken repetition is as effective. Stefano replies below that his program is active. It is not. If you are interested, there are many good articles easily found on the internet that address active vs. passive language learning. S criticizes me for not properly following his method. I investigated his approach and decided that it was not the best method, so I have moved on. Think in Italian has much to offer, but it is not the best course for me.

I started learning Italian with… I started learning Italian with Stefano‘s course 3 weeks ago. It‘s a fabulous concept, I seem to pick up new words every day without apparent work! And I feel good about talking right from the beginning, I‘ve never experienced anything comparable when learning a language so far.

A very well structured, enjoyable course After taking 40 (out of 250) 'Ripeti con Me' lessons I find the course enjoyable and highly useful. Each lesson has a focus on broad-usage forms (e.g. the correct use of when/while, before/after); in the meantime, vocabulary is enlarged, and grammar is introduced as if 'thru the back door.' Every lesson contains new material but also builds on material already learnt. Far from being a mere collection of phrases, this is in fact a very sophisticated method that for me works extremely well. Personally I can say that my progress from one lesson to the next is substantial.

Thinkinitalian.com 5 stars I have been using thinkinitalian.com for 6 months. I think it is an excellent app for learning Italian. The available content is a bargain at twice the price of a one year subscription. You can easily fill several hours a day using the resources. However the suggested one lesson a day (roughly 25 minutes) has provided me a great way to learn this wonderful language. Ciao!
