I’m a very big fan of this couple, with their clear, concise and relaxed informal lessons.

I love the way this couple teach Italian that is useful and can be used in everyday real situations. It’s clear and bitesized so that I can remember it easily. I’m not a natural linguist and learning from books in a rigid way did not work for me but this informal method has got me speaking some Italian.

I stumbled across this couple online doing a podcast(I think) but was unable to access all lessons.
It's great that they are lots of easy to follow, well explained, not too advanced or come across as patronising lessons.
They come across as natural and as if they are enjoying themselves, which adds enthusiasm and sounds more genuine.
