Passo dopo Passo is a relaxed and engaging Italian course for learners who want to build confidence and fluency through authentic language. Each week, we explore a short article from Piazzetta Italiana – a beautifully illustrated magazine written in clear Italian, designed especially for learners.

You’ll receive the article as a PDF and audio file each week, along with guided tasks and conversation prompts. The course is ideal for those who already have the basics and want to take the next step in vocabulary, listening, and speaking.

No written homework is required – just show up ready to listen, learn and chat.
