Thanks for the free Italian lesson. It’s relaxing to be able to learn at a slow, but interesting pace. Italian is seems so easy for English speakers to pronounce, but because of the often irregular stress on word syllables, it’s easy to get it wrong. I like that you and Francesca speak each word clearly and distinctly. Bravo.
Thanks, Bill. Glad you’re enjoying the lessons.
Wow! British produced and forget one of the nations of the Union…
Ci dispiace! Sorry we didn’t mention gallese in the main episode. This is covered in the bonus episode for lesson 3, along with a number of other nationalities. It’s difficult to cover every possibility for all our listeners.
Non c’è problema! I just found it strange for you to cover England, Scotland and Ireland and not Wales, it stood out more with the inclusion of the others. I am using these podcasts to revise as I am working towards A2 and back to basics is always good. I have learnt quite a few bits from the casts! I look forward to continuing to listen to these on my journey to advanced levels. I hope you continue with multiple seasons as I, for one, would buy them all 🙂 grazie tanto!
Buongiorno,
I cannot seem to find more detailed information on how much additional content premium members receive. I would love to help support your program by purchasing a premium but I would like to know how much more vocabulary comes with the premium membership.
Also, are there plans to add an Italian level 2?
Grazie,
Luke

Thanks for the class you’re awesome! I’m learning a lot!
Greetings for Costa Rica, Pura Vida!
Greetings FROM Costa Rica!
My mistake hehehe…
great lessons just can’t believe you go through all UK and other countries and don’t even mention Wales!
Sorry Jake! We do mention this in the bonus episode. Wales is Galles in Italian.
Yes I have noticed this now on another comment! Apologies to mention same thing, just felt like a left-out Welshman haha. Learning a lot already!
Un puo tarde, ma sto imparando con Coffe Break from Argentina… Nice to practice English and in the meantime learn Italian!!
