About the LearnAmo YT channel:

  • We especially like their video about Italian Gestures, a hot topic since body language is so important in Italian culture!
  • If you’re interested in learning about Italian grammar, they have three great playlists. They break down the grammar that you should know at each of the CEFR level groups (A1-A2, B1-B2, and C1-C2). If you don’t know your level in Italian yet, you can test it with this handy video on their channel!

About Alberto’s YouTube channel:

  • Our next favorite YouTube channel to learn Italian is Italiano Automático. Content is aimed at intermediate learners of the language and is ideal for learning how to speak Italian.

About ItalianPod101 and how the podcast differs from the YouTube channel:

  • This channel has a series of lessons to help you perfect your Italian skills. It mainly features videos about Italian listening comprehension. There are exercises to help you measure your progress and review what you learned at the end of each lesson.

  • In the pronunciation lessons, you’ll learn about the most common mistakes students of the language make. And of course, how to avoid them! Plus, learn how to recognize subtle pronunciation differences only native speakers make.
