Language Trainers Italian
Course London Acquerello Italiano Acquerello Italiano is an audio magazine for intermediate to advanced Italian learners. It is a subscription program that includes the magazine, an hour-long CD or cassette, plus an optional study supplement. It is designed to improve your vocabulary, grammar and listening comprehension, as well as your cultural understanding of the Italian-speaking world. Each magazine includes about a dozen articles on topics ranging from politics and economics to tourism and geography to music and cuisine. I highly recommend this program, especially if you do not have access to materials that provide spoken Italian. Each magazine contains the full text/transcript on the even-numbered page, and the vocabulary on the odd-numbered page. There are several notes in English at the end that explain the people and places mentioned. The study supplements include audio flashcards (repetition of phrases from the text), as well as exercises (multiple choice, fill in the blank, etc.) to help improve your vocabulary and grammar. The program is also available in French - Champs-Elysées, German - Schau ins Land and Spanish - Puerta del Sol. If you're interested in buying books to supplement your Italian studies, book recommendations are below. Other Useful Links Oggi e Domani Interactive Course Podcasts |

In addition to the Acquerello Italiano audio program, as well as a good dictionary, grammar review, and book of verb conjugations, I have used the following books and materials for learning Italian:
