Other Resources for Learning Italian

There’s a mass of material for learning Italian here at the club.

Visit the ‘Start Here‘ page for ideas or, if you know your level, then click here.

But most successful learners use a mix of resources from different sources. So here’s a list of OTHER resources that club members have found useful.

NOTES – read this first!

Many of the sites linked to below are free, but some are paid-for. Be careful to understand the difference, and always be aware what you are buying, especially if repeat payments are involved!

None of the links on this website are affiliate links, which means we don’t get paid by the companies and individuals involved. Visit their sites/use their products at your own risk.

If you know of other useful resources that should be included here, please email details.

CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION ON THIS PAGE: anything of potential use to club members. That is likely to exclude anything that is only a paid-service or product, for example a site which ONLY sells lessons with a teacher, or a book or course for sale on Amazon, unless there is a significant free component.
