LEARNING ITALIAN LIKE CRAZY
Learn Beautiful Italian Language - All Italian Language Lessons
"Give Me Just 30 Minutes A Day And I'll Have You Speaking Italian Just Like Zio (Uncle) Peppe ..."
|
|
Why Do You Want To Learn To Speak Italian?
Better yet, specifically...
Are you looking to learn Italian for your next trip to Italia?
Are you looking to learn Italian to connect with your "long lost" Italian relatives?
Are you looking to learn the Italian language just for the fun of it?
Have you tried learning Italian from books, listening to Italian audio tapes, taking private Italian lessons but you are still struggling to learn my beautiful Italian language?
Do you feel that there has to be a better system or method to learn Italian?
Are you finally ready to truly learn this absolutely beautiful language in less time than you ever thought possible? |
|
Speak Italian Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible...
In creating Learning Italian Like Crazy (LILC), I used a method of reinforcement to help you THINK in Italian. Without a doubt this method/approach separates Learning Italian Like Crazy from the popular courses I made reference to earlier. Many students have emailed me to say “Wow Giovanna, this is really a fun way to learn Italian.” Others have said that my method of teaching Italian is more effective than any other method that they have ever used to learn Italian.
There are foreign language teaching methods (i.e. courses) out there that mistakenly use listening and repetition of phrases as a futile attempt to fluency into a foreign language. From my personal experience in learning other languages and in teaching, that's one of the most impractical and ineffective ways to learn or teach a foreign language. The monotonous memorization and drilling exercises get old quickly and is often the reason why many people give up learning a foreign language. Phrase memorization and drilling is tedious, boring, and DOES NOT WORK. PERIOD!!!!
|
No Memorization or Drilling...
Drilling is the automatic repetition of phrases or sentences for memorization purposes. You will not find any phrase memorization or tedious drills in LILC. The goal of each of my lessons is to get you to THINK in Italian, to make it easy, and fun. And you know what? Frankly speaking, I don't understand why the popular selling courses in the market don't use this approach to teach you my beautiful language....
Just Put The Puzzle Together....
I always try to give my private students as much advice as I possibly can to help them learn to speak Italian. One that just about every private student hears from me (and that I want you to also take heed to) is to approach learning Italian like you are trying to put a puzzle together... I will give you the pieces and the techniques of how the pieces connect and then you will put the puzzle together all on your own...
Sound Like A Native Italian...
You know from earlier on in this conversation, how important I consider pronunciation to be in speaking Italian. My language is a beautiful language filled with "colorful" sounds, pitches, and tones. When these come together properly, the Italian language makes the speaker sound as though he or she is singing. This very nature of the Italian language is why it is used in Opera singing. The sound is almost heavenly. In fact, try it yourself right now, say the word "Salve a tutti - Hello everyone." Notice the pitch and tone in that very simple phrase.
Well, not only are the pitches and tones what gives Italian the "beautiful" sounds that you hear but also, they are the essential pieces to being understood by a native Italian speaker. In fact, you could be using the correct words and phrases that you may have memorized, but if you don't use the correct pitch and intonation to express yourself, chances are that a native Italian will have a difficult time understanding you.
|
Make Your Next Trip To Italy More Fun and Exciting....
Whether you are planning a trip to Italy in the near or distant future, you owe it to yourself to fully enjoy Italy to the maximum. You will find that using Learning Italian Like Crazy to learn Italian will make your trip a lot more fun. You will be able to communicate in Italian with confidence.
Imagine yourself traveling to Roma (Rome), Napoli (Naples), Venezia (Venice), Sicilia (Sicily), or any of the other beautiful cities in Italy and not have to utter the words "Non parlo Italiano (I don't speak Italian)." Instead you interact and communicate fully with every native Italian person you meet. Imagine native Italians at the airport, at the hotel, at the restaurant, at the local negozi (businesses), and every other place you visit speaking to you and you clearly understand what they're saying. Now image speaking to them using the proper pronunciation, pitch, and tone with every word and phrase that comes out of your mouth.. Of course they will understand you and of course you will enjoy Italy more. This is the way to enjoy beautiful Italia and it's all thanks to your ability to speak Italian!!!
For Your Italian Relatives...
Your next visit to your "long lost" relatives in Italy will be more enjoyable thanks to your ability to speak Italian. And, if you have children, you may want to pass down the language as a way to keep them connected to their heritage. Your family in Italy will not only be impressed but they will feel pride and joy when they hear you speak the "mother tongue." I can hear your zio Peppe (Uncle Peppe) now saying.. ma, che bravo! (wow, how good!)
For The Language Learning Enthusiast...
You are the type that really enjoys mental gymnastics and learning a new language is your way of staying mentally fit. You recognize that stimulating your brain is just as important as stimulating your muscles with physical exercises. For you, my method of teaching you how to THINK in Italian offers a host of summersaults, back flips, and every other gymnastic routine that your brain craves for. Just make sure to warm up so you don't pull a mental muscle. |

So, What Exactly Is In Learning Italian Like Crazy?
I know that your time and money is very valuable to you and want you to make the best informed decision on Learning Italian Like Crazy. So, I have taken the liberty to give you a lesson by lesson break down of the topics you will learn in my course.
Lesson #1 What you will learn after you complete each lesson
| 1 |
There are two very specific things that you will learn with your very first lesson: first, you will learn how to use Italian verbs that end in the suffix “ARE” in the present tense. Do you know that there are Italian verbs that end in: “ARE”, “ERE” and “IRE?” Secondly, you will learn all of the subject pronouns in Italian. |
| 2 |
This learning Italian lesson will begin with a review of what you covered in lesson number 1. I am a big proponent of consistently reviewing and refreshing all of the material we cover. So most lessons begin with a review of what you have learned in the prior lesson. So, you will experience Lesson number 2 as a continuation of what you learned in lesson number one.
Here, you will be engaged with the narrator in a "question and answer" type of session that will force you to think in Italian. Sorry, but, there's really no choice here, you will begin thinking in Italian immediately. Most importantly, I'm going to be looking over your shoulder :-), so, DO NOT CHEAT!!! Close your transcript and become fully engaged in this audio based "question and answer" session. |
| 3 |
Lesson number 3 places you in my beautiful city of Naples, Italy where you will converse (in Italian of course) about walking around the city, visiting museums, working, and even studying the beautiful Italian language. I like to call this "situational learning" because it places you in a very realistic situation. I hope to some day run into you in my beautiful Naples... Maybe we can do coffee :-) |
| 4 |
Lesson number 4 begins with a review of what we covered in lesson number three (as I mentioned before, most of the lessons begin with a review from the prior lesson). In addition, in this learning Italian lesson we cover possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns.
Don't let the grammatical definitions scare you away. Possessive adjectives in English are words such as "my," "your," "his," "her," "our," "their," etc. Possessive pronouns in English are words such as "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "ours," "theirs," etc. As with all Italian lessons, a great deal of emphasis is placed on perfecting your pronunciation and pitch in this learning Italian lesson. |
| 5 |
Lesson 5 places you in a conversation with your friend in Rome Italy. You and your friend engage in a friendly Italian conversation about each other's pets. You also converse in Italian about each other's houses, personal and household items including coats, hats, bed linen, and even the laundry mat.
These are all very real scenarios that will reinforce your retention of every single Italian word and phrase that you learn with me. |
|
| 6 |
Lesson number 6 utilizes much of the material that you learned in the previous lesson (#5) to help you fine tune the topic of Italian language Possessive Pronouns and Possessive adjectives.
Again, don't let these grammatical terms scare you away, by the end of this lesson you will be a master at Italian Possessive Pronouns and Possessive Adjectives. |
| 7 |
In lesson number 7, you will find yourself in a very realistic conversation that will reinforce everything that you have learned in both lessons five and six.
If you had any doubts about your recently acquired mastery of Italian Possessive Adjectives and Pronouns, this lesson will remove this doubt from your mind for ever!!.
Also, since the structure in Italian is different for his/her/its, you will benefit from this very detailed explanation in this lesson. |
| 8 |
Do you remember that in Italian the Possessive changes in gender and number according to the nouns it refers to? Now, "Their" and "Theirs" represent an exception because in Italian the word "loro" is used for masculine singular/plural and feminine singular/plural, so... it does not change. However, the article that accompanies "loro" does change depending on the noun(s) "their" or "theirs" refer to.... |
|
| 9 |
Using a conversational approach, you will learn how to conjugate verbs in the present tense that end in "ERE" in lesson number 9. Do you remember the other two endings for other Italian Verbs? That's right, "ARE," and "IRE." |
| 10 |
Lesson number 10 takes you again back to Rome, Italy. This time you are having a conversation about letters (mail time) that you have received from back home. You will cover quite a bit of new ground here and keep learning about verbs ending in 'ERE.' |
| 11 |
In Lesson number 11, you are having a conversation with someone about your daily exercise routine. As in lesson number 10 above, you will cover a lot of new ground here as well. You will learn how to say 'some' as in 'some hats...', repeat 'ARE' and 'ERE' verbs and learn that there are some verbs that are the exception to these categories... For example, "andare" (which falls in the 'irregular verbs' category) |
| 12 |
In Lesson number 12 you go back to Naples, Italy with the same friend that you spent time with in Lesson number three. Continuing with the topic of regular "ERE" present verb tense you started learning in lesson number nine, you and your Neapolitan friend engage in a conversation regarding reading newspapers, driving a car, and several other topics.
Through this conversation, you will learn some new verbs and words that go through phonetic changes. Obviously you will learn the correct pronunciation and pitch as well. |
| 13 |
Lesson 13 keeps you in my beautiful city of Naples, Italy with your friend. This time your girlfriend (I don't think I told you your Neapolitan friend was a girl), is asking you about your reading habits. You will discuss with her (in Italian of course) what, where, and when you do your reading. |
| 14 |
Every culture has the dreaded "car salesman" (no insult to car sales people intended here). So, why not expose you to an Italian car salesman? That's what you will experience in this lesson. Don't worry, it is a friendly conversation with no price haggling. After all you are there to buy your brand new Ferrari. |
| 15 |
Lesson 15 is a major lesson where you will learn how to conjugate regular verbs ending in "IRE" in the present tense. This lesson sets the tone for the second half of Learning Italian Like Crazy. |
| 16 |
Given the importance of Lesson 15 and the transition you make, lesson 16 will reinforce what you learned in the previous lesson. You will also you will learn about the different parts of the day (morning, afternoon, night, etc.) and some greetings. |
| 17 |
Lesson 17 takes you on a visit to a friend and her co-worker at the "ufficio" or "office." You are not really sure about what they do at their job. So you get to ask them some questions. |
| 18 |
In Lesson 18 you get to have a conversation in Rome, Italy (in a café) with a European tourist who is not Italian (but obviously she speaks Italian.) She is speaking to you informally so you also feel comfortable speaking to her in an informal way. |
| 19 |
In Lesson 19, you will learn how to start a basic conversation with someone coming from a different country. You will learn some words for nationalities, to ask and say where people are from and where they live. |
| 20 |
In Lesson number 20, I place you back in Naples. This time you are having a conversation with a native Italian at a bookstore or "libreria." You inquire about her friend who is with her. Also, in this lesson you will learn the names of certain jobs or profession in Italian. |
| 21 |
In Lesson 21, you will learn to ask/give directions, and talk about places such as hotels, banks, etc. This will help you navigate through Italy when you visit without getting lost. |
| 22 |
Lesson 22, begins with you finally moving to Naples, Italy. You are having a conversation with one of your neighbours because you have questions about the “quartiere” or “neighborhood.”
Here you will learn about the topic of Italian reflexive verbs. |
| 23 |
Lesson 23 continues the journey through the Italian reflexive verbs teaching you how to describe what you do when you start waking up in the morning until... later in the day, You will learn to say what you do "after... " or "before..." a certain action.
At this point, you are telling others about yourself and what you do on a daily basis, and to ask, or describe, what others do. |
|
| 24 |
By this lesson you would have noticed that in Italian there are several different ways to say "what" as in "what do you do today?" Italian uses "che", "cosa" or "che cosa". There is no difference. For instance you can say either “Cosa fai oggi”, “Che cosa fai oggi?” or “Che fai oggi?”. All three mean "what do you do today?"
The journey through the reflexive verbs continues and you will be facing the different use of the same verbs in the reflexive form and non reflexive verbs. |
| 25 |
Lesson 25 will reinforce the use of reflexive verb form versus non reflexive verb form. You are becoming more and more fluent as you are getting more and more proficient in what to say about yourself and others. |
| 26 |
In lesson 26, you will be able to describe, in Italian, how long you take to get things done, or simply how long it takes you to get somewhere. You will also get to reinforce in your mind the "before" / "after.." structure, so you can tell what you did before and what you did afterwards. |
| 27 |
Lesson 27 takes you further south of Italy to Sicily. As a visitor, you want to make arrangements with a friend on what the two of you will do the following day. Time is an important part of your day. You can miss appointments or, worse, trains. So you get to cover all of these topics here. In this lesson, you will also learn how to tell and understand time. |
| 28 |
In Lesson 28 you will learn how to talk about past actions. So far, you have lived "in the present", now you will start being able to say what you did yesterday versus what you do today. You will be challenged with 'questions and answers' sessions that will force you to think in Italian in the past and present. |
| 29 |
Lesson 29 continues the journey in the past/present time. You will also learn some more verbs that are the exceptions to the 'ARE,' 'ERE,' 'IRE,' categories. These are very fundamental verbs in Italian and you will be using them daily, such as "andare" (to go), 'fare' (to do/make), etc. |
| 30 |
In lesson 30, you will be talking again to your friend about a mutual friend. You are asking what he did yesterday and learning more about verbs, formal/informal way of addressing people, daily tasks and actions. |

Component #1 - Italian Link Words Book
Here's one of the most powerful and best-kept secrets for memorizing Italian translations (or anything for that matter!)...
The mind thinks in pictures, not words.
For instance, when I ask you to remember the word "waterfall," your brain automatically envisions a mental picture of a waterfall.
Instead of seeing the letters (W-A-T-E-R-F-A-L-L), your mind sees water cascading over rocks or pouring down the side of a cliff. Now imagine a huge grizzly bear in a tiny canoe, rowing towards—and right over—the waterfall.
Without a doubt, I've just placed a clear mental image in your head. And if I ask you about the "grizzly bear waterfall" a week or a month from now, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
It's because your brain uses visual images to represent your thoughts. It's also why psychological studies have shown that you can remember and recall more information—faster and easier—by linking or associating words with visual images.
|
|
Countless people use this 'linking' technique to remember the names of hundreds of people they meet in business and social situations.
This is good news for you, because...
You can apply the magic of the linking technique
to learn Italian in a fraction of the time over the
traditional methods you were taught in school!
And in Component #1, I reveal exactly how the "Link-Word" Technique works and how you can use it to accelerate your comprehension of new Italian words to lightning speeds.
Even better than that, I've taken the time and creative effort to produce 119 specific Link-Word examples. And I've compiled them all into a nice little ebook you'll get when you place your order today.
Each of the 119 Link-Word examples consists of a short, simple description of a wacky and unforgettable image (like the Grizzly riding the waterfall by canoe). It's a mental snapshot that links a Italian word with its English translation as part of the mental picture.
Here's how easily you'll cement 119+ new Italian translations into your mind with the Link-Word Technique :
You see a word in English and its Italian translation
You read the descriptive sentence, and you instantly see the image in your mind
Your brain makes a virtually unbreakable connection between the mental picture and the translation, creating a memory that's difficult to forget.
You can use this technique to remember any word in Italian (or any other language). |
|
Component #2 - Italian Matching Game
What's the best way to feed your brain with new information?
When is the human brain most receptive to new inputs?
If you think the brain is best suited for learning Italian when it's all tensed up or when you're concentrating, then you're making the same mistake as those who're struggling to learn any new language. Simply put, the brain is most receptive and best suited for learning when it is in a highly relaxedstate.
