Tutto italiano (Exclusive 1-Year + Extra Issue Subscription Offer)

Product Review (submitted on 30 March 2015):

Tutto italiano is unlike all the other Italian language courses on the market. I should know! In the past 20 years, I have purchased most of the others in my quest to improve and maintain my language skills.

What makes Tutto italiano different from all the rest is also what makes it so interesting. For example, you won’t find a section teaching you how to get to the train station. Think about it! You can get to Stazione Termini in Rome just fine without knowing one word of Italian—train, treno, a few charade motions, and you’re on your way to catch the 9:06 Eurostar to Napoli.

Tutto italiano, on the other hand, brings you right into the heart of Italy in an entertaining and informative way.

Each bi-monthly shipment includes a glossy full-color magazine. Articles focus on every aspect of Italian culture and current events— from the state of Italian fashion to the political state of affairs, from the national soccer mania to the countrywide obsession with food, and more.

The accompanying CD, spoken by professional narrators, allows you to tune your ear to the various regional accents and intonations. Going back and forth between the text and the audio versions puts you confidently on that road to Rome or Bologna or Palermo, enhancing your travel experience with an in depth understanding of the country and the people who speak this beautiful language.

It’s not enough to just see Italy. You want to know Italy, in an intimate way, and that only happens when you can speak the language. No other program teaches you that language like Tutto italiano.
