L’italiano espresso online is composed of two courses, the first for beginners and  the second one for intermediate learners, each containing 14 lessons with several sub-lessons. You can download  and use it  whenever you want, also without internet connection. www.litalianoespressonline.it   falls in the new category of  language courses called  “effortless”, whose aim is using  the tools of modern technology to help people to learn a new language in a stress-free and fun way. The most important key of these courses  is that the target language is learned -as well as from the texts of the movies and  articles-  from the question-answer and explanation files.These files, in fact, asking questions and explaining in different ways the meaning of the source-text or movie, let learners know more and more vocabulary and structures: so the learner is exposed continuously to a new input and learn almost without noting it…This way to learn a new language is similar the way  the children do. In fact, children learn complicated grammatical rules of their native language without any grammatical explanation: no one explains to children the rules of agreement  in Italian: however children respect these complex  rules very quickly. Why do they do so? Because they have received many examples from Italian native speakers  around them and they have internalized this rule. The same occurs with foreigners that learn Italian in Italy: they listen to that is said around them for a long time, and then, when they feel confident, they begin to speak, imitating what they have heard and understood up to that point. www.litalianoespressonline.it   does  the same thing; in its initial texts and questions there are examples of the concrete use of language, and you, while  listening to them many times, will learn the rules of Italian and its grammar. L’italiano espresso online  is designed for those who wish to learn on their own, employing the tools available on Internet. However it can help the students of traditional foreign language schools, because it allows them to make faster progress and quickly understand and internalize the characteristics of the new language. It can also help  teachers of Italian, especially to improve the listening and comprehension skills of their students, because its texts  are 100% natural  and are devised in order to minimize comprehension difficulties.
