Start Speaking Italian With Confidence in Just 2 Weeks!
Even If You've Never Learnt a Language Before - Transform Your Holiday Experience in Italy.
Italian For Holidays is a fun, practical crash course in the Italian you’ll use on your trip. In just a short time, you’ll learn how to greet people with confidence, order that perfect espresso like a local, ask for directions without stress, and even chat a little about yourself and your interests.
Whether you’re navigating a bustling market or enjoying dinner in a cozy trattoria, you’ll feel more relaxed, more connected, and more at home.
Stop feeling like a lost tourist in Italy
Picture this: You're standing in a beautiful Italian cafe, desperately pointing at the menu while the barista looks confused. Your heart races as other customers wait behind you. You fumble with your phone translator, feeling embarrassed and disconnected from this amazing culture around you.
Sound familiar? You're not alone. Over 60% of visitors to Italy report feeling anxious about the language barrier, missing out on authentic experiences, and coming home wishing they could have connected more with locals.
But what if... instead of that anxiety, you walked into that same cafe and confidently ordered "Un cappuccino, per favore" with a smile? What if locals lit up when they heard you trying their beautiful language? What if you could ask for directions, chat about your travels, and truly experience Italy the way you'd like to?
Transform Your Italian Holiday Experience in Just 2 Weeks
CONFIDENCE IN REAL LIFE TRAVEL SITUATIONS
No more awkward silences or fumbling with translation apps.
After completing this course, you’ll feel confident handling everyday travel scenarios—like ordering food, buying tickets, or asking for directions. You’ll be able to speak up without second-guessing yourself, making your trip smoother and way more enjoyable.
MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS WITH ITALIANS
Even a few simple phrases can open doors. You’ll learn how to introduce yourself, talk about your interests, and understand basic conversations.
So instead of feeling like an outsider, you can engage with locals in a genuine way. People light up when you try to speak their language, and you’ll experience the warmth and friendliness Italy is famous for.
A HANDY TRAVEL COMPANION TO USE ANYWHERE
This course is also a practical tool you can take with you. With easy access on your phone and tablet, you’ll have audio clips, glossaries, and short, focused lessons right in your pocket.

What students are saying about this course
I was terrified about my first trip to Italy, but after just 10 days with Amedea's course, I was having real conversations! The waiter at our hotel was so impressed he invited us to his family's restaurant. It completely changed our entire trip
— Sarah M
I found this Italian online course extremely handy and practical — I could carry it on my phone and use it anytime while on holiday in Italy. The audio is very clear, the pace is easy to follow, and the content is concise rather than overwhelming like many other courses. It’s also great value for money compared to pricier alternatives. Best of all, I even got complimented for trying — people in Italy really appreciated the effort!
— S Lawson
As someone who struggled with languages in school, I was skeptical. But Amedea's approach is so practical and fun! Within a week I was practicing with my Italian neighbour. By the time I got to Italy, I felt ready. The course paid for itself just in the confidence it gave me
— J O'Brien
