What it actually is

Manu has taught Italian to English speakers for over twenty years and his free YouTube pronunciation and grammar series are still among the clearest starting points in the language. The '100% in Italiano' podcast comes with free PDF transcripts and comprehension questions, which makes it unusually usable for self-study. The flagship 'From Zero to Italian' course is a paid membership — the free material alone is enough to reach solid A2.
