If you've taken a class, used a language app for a few weeks, or been to Italy and tried your hand — this book is for you.(Not for absolute beginners — see our Mini Italian Stories book if you're starting from zero.)

Instead of memorizing endless rules, you’ll absorb Italian naturally — the way you learned your first language.

Imagine ordering confidently in Italian on your next trip. Your partner smiling proudly. Your friends' jaws dropping when locals respond like you've been speaking Italian for years.

Sample stories: Want to charm a Tuscan farmer? Navigate a truffle festival in Umbria? Handle an awkward gift mix-up in Venice? You'll be ready. Going to the theatre, discussing the finer elements of gelato, and Italian cooking courses — all this and more is waiting in the 15 stories inside.

Try the 7-Day Challenge and see the difference. If you don't feel more confident after the stories and the challenge, Amazon's easy returns have you covered.
