Parla con la famiglia in italiano — 10 lezioni
In 10 lessons you can hold a real conversation with your nonni — not just say ciao.
For Italo-Australians who want to speak with grandparents, parents and relatives in Italy.
You grew up hearing Italian at the table, you understand more than you can say, and every call home ends in English — or in silence.
By lesson 10 you ask your relatives about their day, answer their questions about yours, and understand the fast, warm, dialect-flavoured Italian your family actually speaks.
How the program works
A program written for heritage learners in Australia. We build the exact Italian your family uses — food, health, memories, the neighbourhood, the phone call on Sunday — and we do it without shame about mistakes or accent. Bring the words you half-remember from childhood: we turn them into full sentences.
What you'll be able to do
- Greet relatives and ask about family naturally
- Talk about daily life, food and traditions
- Follow fast, emotional family conversation
- Use the informal register and Italian terms of endearment
- Speak without fear of mistakes or of your accent
