🇮🇹 What if Italian felt so easy you didn't need translations, and listening just flowed? You could skyrocket your Italian in record time. 
Ever felt stuck listening in Italian - long sentences, too many unfamiliar words, boring content? You’re not alone.

Having learned Italian ourselves, we came across lots of materials that were just not quite right: too hard, too dry, or not culturally relevant - just the same stories translated into dozens of languages (yes, those exist). That's why we created this audiobook: so you can skyrocket your Italian, with stories that are right for your level - and - critically - are fun to listen to. 

You'll find culturally-relevant stories of around 10 minutes each, designed for beginners with at least some experience*, and intermediate learners.

Sample stories: Want to chat with a Tuscan farmer, talk soccer with the local barber, or navigate a truffle festival in Umbria? You'll be ready. Going to the theatre, discussing the finer elements of gelato, and Italian cooking courses - all this and more is waiting for you in this book.

Plus, over 90 pages of extras:

 • Translations for every story in the book. Never miss a word again!
 • Must-have for beginners: the 1,000 most-used words in Italian. Make sure you have all the basics, as you continue to work on your Italian!

Ready to make real progress in Italian — and have fun doing it? Start listening today.

*Who is this book for? If you've never learned any Italian, this book might be a bit tricky for you. If you've taken some classes, been to Italy and tried your hand, or used Apps like DuoLingo or Babbel and consider yourself beginner to intermediate, this book is for you!
