I love that the app forces me to actually "move my mouth". The new mobile app is a huge improvement over the old website. Stefano (the linguist behind it) certainly put a lot of effort!

Which article? :D

Think in Italian is the course we have longed for as we plod through many insufficient online offerings. Seamlessly combining composition, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary building, the AI factor offers ongoing assessment and correction. It's as good or even better than having a real time tutor because any and all aspects don't have a time stamp. My highest praise is that Stefano Lodolo has created a modern classic course of real learning that makes self-delusion about one's real progress impossible. Each Think in Italian session is challenging, fun, and inspires hope that one might, in time, attain the ability not only to think but also converse and compose in correct, colloquial, even scholarly Italian. Bravissimo e mille grazie, Stefano. ---Suzanne Rini

Thank you Suzanne! You've been with me for a long time. :) I totally agree on "self-delusion". But don't worry, my AI tutor is there to support you. ;)

Aural approach is unique and valuable. Both examples and readings deal with day-to-day situations with humor. Problems with site such as pop-ups are minor. “AI” needs monitoring. Forum has been dropped. Questions regarding billing for renewal were initially met with canned response. Rating upgraded after billing problem solved. (Thanks Elizabeth.)

Ciao Suzanne! You've been with me for a year. Never stop learning! :) I removed the forum because it was both technically and practically difficult to run and only a few members were using it. Now, you can ask AI and get the best answer right away. The AI tutor is a revolutionary tool that took 400 hours of my time. Have you tried it yet? Glad to hear that support helped. Ciao ciao!

Think In Italian is different from a lot of other language learning sites because the repetition of phrases really does help you to begin thinking in Italian. I really appreciate the stories that you can read along with as well. They go from beginner to advanced. There are also many other features. Stefano and his team are so friendly and helpful answering questions of any kind. I highly recommend Think in Italian!!

Don't bother with this site - the creator Stefano is an angry, nasty person who launched a very mediocre site. If you contact him with a problem he won't be flexible and is unprofessional and rude. There are so many lessons and don't expect increasing challenges in the listen/repeat - it's VERY basic throughout! Not what a serious italian learner needs! In addition, they are constantly changing the site and not for the better! The material has changed and is quite stupid; although they probably they think the lessons are "cute", in fact they are actually are distracting! The Quizlet section is not his, he cannot fix it and does not work well at all! And there are no other exercises or quizzes so there is no way to practice or test what you've learned. Think in Italian is weak at best and is not a comprehensive site - definitely not worth paying anything for.

1. There's nothing wrong with the courses you paid for. 2. There's nothing wrong with the free quizlets embedded from quizlet.com ̈on my free grammar notes. 3. I didn't make those quizlets 4. Even if there were anything wrong with the quizlets, they're but a marginal addition to my contents and not an integral part of my courses 5. The grammar notes are publicly available for free, i.e. are not part of the contents you paid for. 6. You're not eligible for a refund because 4 months from your purchase you're way past the 30-day guarantee. 7. The private answers to your grammar questions are not included in your membership. You may ask questions in the comments. 8. You'd better understand what you paid for and what you didn't

A well rounded set of materials to learn Italian. The lessons are easy to follow. From the beginning, real language is used, not just simple vocabulary and grammatical rules. I'm looking forward to continuing using the course!

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!
