Buondì.
Today, just a quick reminder about the ‘Free Trial Online Italian Lesson’ offer over at NativeSpeakerTeachers.com, which began on Monday.
Over sixty people have already signed up, in just the first two days, mostly for Italian, but also Spanish, French and German
The offer lasts until Sunday night and the plan is to give away a hundred and fifty free lessons. So if you’re interested, better get a move on, ‘darti una mossa’, as Italians say.
Click here if you’d like a free online Italian lesson (or use the links above for the other languages), then use the ‘add to cart’ button to add the free lesson to your cart. Proceed in the usual ecommerce way, except for the fact there’s no payment stage. There’s nothing to sign, no commitment to buy more lessons, and no need to cancel anything within a given amount of time.
It’s a genuinely-free, free trial offer, with no tricks. The conditions? The offer is for new students only and is limited to one free lesson per person, the idea being that you can see how we do things, not that you get a free lesson in each language that might interest you…
Anyway, when you’ve completed your order, you’ll get a confirmation email. At some point after that, our teaching management assistant, will contact you by email and ask WHEN you want to do your lesson and, WHAT your needs are, what your level is in Italian, and so on.
Her job is to assign you to one of our teachers. She’ll make that decision based on when you want to study and when the teacher is available.
Which means you need to reply to her email! If you don’t hear from her, CHECK YOUR SPAM!
As I wrote on Monday, be aware that this isn’t an automated process, so if things are busy, a little patience would be appreciated.
Allow 24 hours for our teaching management assistant to contact you, taking into account the time difference between Italy and wherever you are.
If you haven’t heard anything (and have checked your spam…), feel free to email me. I’ll sort it out for you.
Here are the offer conditions again:
- The offer is good until Sunday, 13/11/22
- We’ve got the capacity for around a hundred and fifty club members to do a trial lesson
- This offer is for NEW STUDENTS ONLY
- If you booked a free trial last time but didn’t take it – do try again!
- But if you’ve already done a free trial (we have a list), this is not for you
- Once you’ve done your lesson, you will be sent you a 15% discount coupon to incentivise you to continue…

P.S. New ‘Opera’ easy reader’ ebook: La Bohème
On Monday we published a new Italian easy reader ebook, La Bohème, the third in ou new ‘Opera’ series (find the others here.) The level of this one is B1-intermediate.
Giacomo Puccini’s famous opera, first performed in Turin in 1896, is here simplifed for learners of Italian (with quotes from the actual libretto!)
Christmas Eve 1830, Paris: a group of young friends – a writer, a painter, a musician and a philosopher – are hungry and cold in their shared garret. Marcello, the artist, decides to burn his landscape to warm the room, but the oil paint would smell, so Rodolfo offers his play, instead. As the chapters burn, Schaunard, the musician, arrives home. He has news!
Begin with this ‘easy reader’ ebook before watching the actual opera, or simply use this original Italian reading/listening practice material to add a little variety to your study program.
- .pdf e-book (+ audio available free online)
- .mobi (Kindle-compatible) and .epub (other ebook readers) available on request at no extra charge – just add a note to the order form or email us
- 6 chapters (based on Puccini’s Act/Scene structure) to read and listen to
- Comprehension questions to check your understanding
- Italian/English glossary of ‘difficult’ terms for the level
- Suitable for students at pre-intermediate level or above
- Download your Free Sample Chapter (.pdf)
This being the first week, La Bohème is 25% discounted, so just £5.99 rather than the usual ‘easy reader’ ebook price of £7.99.
Do check out the FREE sample chapter (.pdf) before you buy a copy, though. That way, you’ll know whether the level is suitable and that the format works on the device you intend to use it on.

How do I access my ebook?
When your order is ‘completed’ (normally, immediately after your payment), a download link will be automatically emailed to you. It’s valid for 7 days and 3 download attempts so please save a copy of the .pdf ebook in a safe place. Other versions of the ebook (.mobi/Kindle-compatible, .epub) cannot be downloaded but will be emailed to people who request them.
P.P.S.
And here’s the usual Wednesday reminder to read/listen to Tuesday’s bulletin of ‘easy’ Italian news.
Improved comprehension skills make other aspects of language learning (grammar, vocabulary, speaking etc.) easier.
It’s FREE, and the more you read and listen, the more you learn, so what’s to lose?
