Passive repetition not the best path to fluency Hmm, everybody here gives 5 stars. I'm surprised. "Ripeti con me!" promises to be different than the other courses and to lead to spoken fluency. Stefano has a lot of good lesson content on grammar and I like the graded "Leggi con me!" But, I don't believe that passive spoken repetition of a teacher is the best path to spoken fluency. I prefer methods where you are prompted to think of a correct reply and then to speak it. At least one well-known course teaches languages this way. I don't think "Ripeti con me!" passive spoken repetition is as effective. Stefano replies below that his program is active. It is not. If you are interested, there are many good articles easily found on the internet that address active vs. passive language learning. S criticizes me for not properly following his method. I investigated his approach and decided that it was not the best method, so I have moved on. Think in Italian has much to offer, but it is not the best course for me.

Stefano's work is the basis of my lanuage learning. Stefano has created an incredible system for people who actually want to talk and communicate with Italian people. It's both fast and easy as well as nuanced, in-depth and measured. I employ several different methods from watching films to talking with a tutor twice weekly, but ThinkinItaltian is the basis of my study and the basis of my progressive learning. I'm now at lesson 146 and I leave for Italy in 7 weeks. Non vedo l'ora!

Think in Italian is still my favorite… Think in Italian is still my favorite language program! It’s been a year and I’ve just renewed for a second year. Stefano continues improving the site, this time adding an app which doesn’t require an internet connection so it’s available anytime, anywhere. There is so much content, all useful, and Stefano is constantly engaged with his students, responding to questions personally… no form letter responses. Think in Italian is an invaluable tool and far outshines every other program I’ve tried! So happy to have discovered it!

this article is amazing <3 -

Not at all worth spending a dime on Don't bother with this site - the creator Stefano launched a site that has numerous issues, including the Quizlet section. It is NOT his, it does not work properly and many parts of it don't work at all on this site.. That is because Quizlet is not his and it he cannot fix the issues that don't work on his site. There is no way to practice or test without quizlet and I was told the broken parts would be fixed. Several months later nothing was fixed. Stay away - it's not a comprehensive site and not worth paying anything for.
