Stories in Slow Italian - Learn Italian through stories

I love listening to your podcast and learning new words. My parents were both born and raised in Sicily so I grew up speaking Sicilian. My parents have both passed away and I don’t want to loose the language and I also wanted to learn “real” Italian. Would you ever consider reading a book to your audience? I’ve tried on my own but it’s to difficult. Keep up the good work

I’ve been listening almost daily for a few months and find it extremely useful and engaging. Elena is a good teacher and extremely likable. The topics are always well done. I like the new format, where she reads the entire thing in Italian and then reads it in short segments with an English translation. That allows you to really focus on the Italian. If you’re at an A2 or B1 level I think you will learn a lot here!

Thank you for your intimate teaching style. I am trying to learn Italian so that I can speak to people in the town where my son has just moved. He is living in northern Italy near Crodo. I would like to visit him often there and would like to get to know his neighbors. I am wondering if you are able to put your lessons into a format that shows translations into English as you teach? I think that would be very helpful. Again thank you very much, I appreciate your podcast and listen to it often .

I am so happy to listen to Elena, she speaks slowly so I can hear and understand what she is trying to teach. She is great!

I’m very pleased that I found this podcast. It has been so helpful.
