"I begin from the book cover. It really grabs you as a book is, winning, merry and also it has a flair graphic. You can really learn Italian magically and the secret is with the advice of the author when he says:

'Please remember to avoid listening to the audio-files while driving as they lead you in a state of relaxed alertness that speeds up the learning process'.

At the beginning of every lesson infact the key word is 'relax' and there is a ritual for which one prepares himself to learn positively, without haste, without stress but naturally. Every lesson is a real situation. In my opinion we can use this method, which is the result of a thorough study by the author, with other languages too. Perhaps I will use it with my pupils. Congratulation Antonio, you made your best to implement your plans and carry them through out, good luck. Stay always like you are now. I loved it."

"It is a great programme. I have been using accelerated learning techniques for over 30 years, for instance in teaching people to touch type in 2 days, etc. Off and on I’ve half-heartedly attempted to learn a foreign language but your programme is the first one to fully utilise accelerated learning techniques. The Ipad is so effective for it, and it is on there that I have created my own flash cards based on your lessons. Most impressed by what you have done."

Imagine how you will feel by speaking another language, a different one than yours. Sense all the feelings you can feel. You will listen to yourself uttering different and pleasant sounds. You will see people astounded around you because of this new skill of yours. Will you be excited? Happy? Of course you will be!I will be excited for you too, because for me it is so rewarding to see people, who couldn't speak a word before, conversing in my own language. That is the real joy for me and I mean it from the heart.I am Antonio Libertino, born and lived in Tropea, Italy and I share with you a passion for foreign languages and world cultures.It all begun when I realised that I couldn't communicate with a foreign girl I fell in love with, if I didn't know at least English. What did I do? I took the first cassette course I could find and started learning as fast as I could. I was really motivated to do that. What am I suggesting? That you should get an Italian boyfriend or girlfriend? That wouldn't be a bad idea too, but there are a lot of other ways to learn my language. And I can reveal them to you at your place.I went on, I learned how to speak English. That love story was over, but it started my passion for foreign languages and cultures. Then the director of an Italian school for foreigners asked me to teach Italian in his school. I asked: "How am I going to do that?". "I'll give you the book", he said. I soon realised it wasn't with just a book that I could teach people...I wanted to teach people and to let them feel at ease.During the years, I went on teaching in that school, till I decided to work on my own. The teaching passion brought me to obtain the Ditals certificate Level II which is issued by the University of Siena for Foreigners, and it tests theoretical and practical knowledge of candidates in the fields of teaching Italian to foreigners.Sometimes it seems that an invisible force guides you to develop your passions and discover tricks and secrets to learn and teach a language.We can't deny we are living a learning revolution and especially in learning languages: we can't use anymore the teaching methods we used ten years ago. Today we have multimedia computers, internet, cd-roms, skype and learning a new language is so easy!Are you ready to speak my language?Knowledge is power and can also be fun if you know how to learn.

What if you could learn Italian and have fun at the same time?

While reading the above question you might have imagined yourself laughing and smiling. If so, you are ready to get on board of this special course created with YOU in mind. You may have bought this course because you really want to learn Italian, or maybe because you just want to experiment with this new approach, or just because you want to Speak Italian Magically.

Whatever the reason, keep in mind that YOU will be the main character of this course and YOU will see how.

Let’s talk a bit about how normally people try to learn a language. Some might have had previous experiences in language learning. Maybe they tried with grammar based approaches, and what happened? They had to think to every single word before speaking. In other words they couldn’t speak the foreign language. Others might have tried to learn long lists of vocabulary. They were trying to do something like that:

house, casa, house, casa,house, casacasa, house, casa,house, casa,house, casacasa.

Forget about this method! You can learn Italian and have fun!

Other people paid a lot of money to go to an Italian school in Italy and take an intensive Italian course. Six hours a day for a month. But you know what? In the end they couldn’t speak! Why? Maybe because they didn’t give pauses to their right brain to process all the information. Or maybe because they just learned a lot of grammar.

Neuroscientists have discovered that we need to give pauses to the brain in order to offer time to the unconscious mind to cope with the information. They also agree on the fact that the unconscious mind is the one in charge for automatic responses. Let’s do an example. Do you remember the first time you drove a car? Was it frustrating? You had to think about all the movements you had to make... And now? Can you talk to someone while driving? Do you think at all about the fact that you are driving?

You will speak Italian automatically too, by studying just twenty minutes a day. You might be saying: Come on, Antonio...It seems too easy to be true!

Recently I came across to Mary Loverde’s website and I read an article with fervid interest. Mrs. Loverde writes about a woman who hated to exercise. She asked her if she could simply get dressed to exercise three times a week. Let me put this clear, she didn't ask her to exercise, but only to get dressed as if she was going to exercise. Even though the woman was not willingful to do so - as she thought it was not worth it - in the end she promised to do it. Next week Mrs. Loverde asked her
