I personally think there are some huge problems out there for people like you trying to learn to speak my beautiful Italian language. For starters, many of the popular selling Italian language programs have you falsely believe that you can learn to speak Italian without having a solid grammatical foundation. Let me tell you, that’s just not possible! To become fluent in Italian you have to think in Italian. And, you can not begin to think in Italian unless you have a good Italian grammar foundation. It’s really that simple and straight forward!
The second problem that I see is that many of these Italian courses place a lot of emphasis on memorization of words and phrases. They use some very rigid methods to drill into your head the meanings and definitions of what they consider to be practical and useful Italian words and phrases. Very little emphasis is given to using real scenarios and natural conversations in their lessons. So, often times your quest to learn to speak Italian becomes more difficult than it should be. By this point, many people convince themselves that they just can’t learn to speak Italian. Oh, how wrong they are, how wrong they are…
I have also noticed that many of these Italian courses don’t place enough emphasis on proper pronunciation. I actually consider this almost a sin! You see, I truly believe that God gave the Italian language the most beautiful sound of all languages. So why don’t these other Italian courses focus more on teaching you how to properly pronounce the beautiful sounds, pitches, and tones of the Italian language?
"Our method teaches you Italian the same way you learned to speak your native tongue…"
That’s a very popular phrase that I have heard on the radio, TV and even read in print and online (maybe you’ve heard it too). And, honestly, on the surface it sounds really good. I mean think of it, you really didn’t have to study or attend a single class to learn to speak in your native tongue. It was all really natural. So, if you find a course that can teach you to speak Italian the same way that your parents and/or caregivers taught you to speak then of course you have to get it. I mean, it only makes sense.
