A complete audio program built around an original novel set on the shores of Lake Como — designed to bridge the gap between the classroom and real Italian conversations.

It’s not your fault. Traditional courses don’t prepare you for how Italians actually talk.
Native Italians don’t slow down for learners. Words blend together and entire sentences fly by before you can process them.
Italian sounds completely different in Milan, Rome, and Naples. If you’ve only heard one accent, you’re not ready for Italy.
Italians use hundreds of colloquial expressions every day that no course teaches — and they’re the key to real understanding.
Learn Italian With Audio is built around an original novel set on the shores of Lake Como. You follow Brian and Susan, an American couple starting a new life in Italy, through everyday situations — morning coffees, market conversations, dinner with neighbors, phone calls, and misunderstandings that turn into lessons.
Every chapter is performed by professional Italian voice actors with authentic regional accents. You hear real Italian — not the slow, overly-clear version from textbooks. And because it’s a story, you stay engaged. You want to know what happens next.
The program comes in two versions: natural speed for immersion, and an assisted version with strategic pauses after every sentence so you can repeat, absorb, and build confidence at your own pace. Both are included, along with complete study materials — Italian texts, English translations, expression guides, and vocabulary lists for every chapter.
Each of the 12 chapters follows the same proven 3-step method to take you from confusion to comprehension.
Immerse yourself in the story at natural speed — with professional actors and authentic accents.
Follow along with the assisted version — strategic pauses after every sentence let you practice pronunciation.
Deepen your understanding with Italian texts, English translations, expression guides, and vocabulary lists.
Listen to samples from three different chapters — both at natural speed and with the assisted version.
Follow Brian and Susan, an American couple who retire to the shores of Lake Como, as they navigate everyday Italian life — from morning coffees at the local bar to impromptu conversations with curious neighbors. Written with authentic expressions and diverse regional accents — suitable for all levels from upper-beginner to advanced.
Brian and Susan leave Lake Como and set off across Northern Italy — from Verona’s Piazza Erbe to hidden gems beyond the tourist trail. Same format, same quality, new adventures.
Coming SoonStrategic pauses after every sentence give you time to repeat and absorb. Paired with guided study materials.

Best for intermediate & advanced“I’ve been studying Italian for 3 years and this is the first time I actually understood a full conversation at natural speed. The assisted version is genius.”
“The story is so engaging I forgot I was studying. Brian and Susan feel like real people, and the Lake Como setting makes you dream of Italy while you learn.”
“The expressions guide alone is worth the price. I learned phrases my Italian friends use every day that I never found in any textbook or app.”
