2026 January Sale: ‘easy reader’ ebook picks at your level!

Last Monday we announced that our 2026 January Sale had begun. Find out more here.

So today, as part of that promotion, I’m going to give you my top ebook picks for beginner, intermediate, and advanced-learners of Italian – I hope there’ll be something here that grabs you!

When I say ‘my top picks’, what I mean is the ebooks that I have enjoyed the most (I read them all, multiple times, during the editing and publishing process).

My criteria is just that: enjoyment. Why?

Because as a language-learner myself, I find that if there’s a story that engages me (whether it’s a news article, or fiction, like our ‘easy readers’), I’ll keep turning the page.

And if I can’t (metaphorically) put an ebook down, my reading comprehension skills improve, and with them my knowledge of vocabulary, and my confidence with the grammar of the language I’m learning.

As any teacher (or student) knows, boredom is the enemy! So a writer that knows how to craft a text so that it pulls you in and won’t let go, even if it’s ‘just’ language-study material, is indeed a useful ally!

Don’t forget, the 2026 January Sale is on! To get 25% off everything in your shopping cart, copy/paste the coupon code, which is:

2026-January-Sale-25%-Off

Bene, let’s get to it. I’m on the Catalog page of our online shop, starting a little way down, where it says ‘Italian Easy Readers’ (if you’re learning another language, you’ll need to scroll down the Catalog page and make your own selections, sorry!)

So we have seventeen easy reader ebooks for A1 and A2 students, six at A1 (the lowest level), eight at the ‘half-level’ A1/2, and three at A2 (the harder ones). If you’re not sure which level is right for you, use the Free Sample links and take a look. You should be able to get the gist of the story with only occasional use of a dictionary.

N.b. This article was written a couple of years ago. Since then we’ve published other ebooks, so the selection at your level is probably even more ample than described below. Our Catalog page is always up-to-date, so includes the most recent titles, and free sample chapters!

So honestly? I enjoyed all seventeen. but I’ve been strict with myself and whittled the total down to just two at each level, concentrating on the ones I liked the MOST – the stories that made me actually care about the characters, and about what happened to them next!

(These are extracts from our Catalog page, so you can also see the price, the available formats, and a link to the free sample chapter for each title…)

The hard part was choosing between them, but again, I’ve been strict and narrowed it down to two stories at each half level…

Everyone learning a foreign language is familiar with the concept of ‘level’.

Some materials are just too hard for where you’re currently at, others might seem just right, whereas the texts you worked on months ago will now, hopefully, feel easy.

We all know that it can be difficult (impossible!) to understand films and so on in the languages we’re learning, or to read an authentic article, say from a newspaper, which is written for educated native-speaker readers.

And yet, clearly, listening to the language as it is really used, and reading articles written in it, are important long-term goals, even if they seem unachievable for the moment.

Plus, it seems likely that the more we read and listen, the more meaningful our studies will be, the more new words we’ll pick up, and the more we’ll feel familiar with the grammar and structures of the languages we’re learning.

Reading and listening to the language you’re studying are unarguably good ways to speed your progress, and in any case, training yourself to listen and to read effectively in the new language is obviously going to be necessary at some point.

But authentic materials are HARD! Often too hard.

The solution to this quandry?

‘Graded’ texts, that is to say materials written by language teachers for learners like you, and designated as suitable for those who have reached or are above a particular level.

The CEFR level system uses six level bands, which are (from easiest to hardest): A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.

Assume that students at the C levels should be reading and listening to authentic (real-life) texts and audio without too much difficulty. The graded materials at those levels, then, will approximate texts written for native-speakers.

People at the intermediate stage (the B levels) are not yet ready for ‘real’ or ‘nearly real’ listening and reading, but still need to build their skills in anticipation. So the graded materials will be an in-between step, aimed at challenging students to develop their skills further.

The easiest materials (at A1 and A2 levels) are designed to be unintimidating, which means short chapters and simple or simpler grammar and vocabulary. Their purpose is to encourage learners to get into the HABIT of reading and listening to the language they’re learning as early on in the process as possible.

The more reading & listening you do early on, the easier everything that follows will be. You’ll already be used to, for example, guessing meaning from context in a text, or getting the gist of the spoken language even when you can’t pick out every word.

Graded materials are useful at every language-learning level, but their real power can be seen when they are incorporated as an integral part of our studies right from Day 1 with a new language.

The difference between a learner who regularly reads and listens to graded materials, and one who never or rarely spends time on anything other than grammar and vocabulary exercises, is plain to see, if for no other reason than that a student who has no fear of reading and listening (because she is using materials that have been specifically written for her level, remember) comes across as being more confident and more autonomous.

How to find graded materials for your level? Our Catalog page lists materials by type and in level order, which should help.

But importantly, there’s always a free sample chapter, which you should absolutely look at before deciding to buy a particular title.

Have a look at the first few lines, the first paragraph, the first page, even the whole of the first chapter. Can you manage to figure out what’s going on in the story without too much effort, without constantly reaching for the dictionary?

If not, step down a level, try another free sample chapter, keep looking until you find something that you’re comfortable with. Don’t forget to check out the free online audio, if there is one. Usually the link is at the top of the first chapter…

Then, if the story grabs you, go ahead and buy a copy! Read a chapter a day, perhaps. There are usually eight short chapters, so in not much more than a week, you’ll be done.

At which point, you could check out other titles at the same level, or look at free sample chapters for the next level (or half-level) up, to see if you’re ready for something a little more challenging.

Aim to establish a reading/listening HABIT. Move up to the next level only when you’re comfortable, no need to rush,

Gradually, month by month, your reading/listening skills will improve, as will your knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary of the language you’re learning.

With graded materials, such as ‘easy readers’ and ‘parallel texts’, you’ll master the language you’re studying step-by-step, almost without realising it!

P.S.

Do find some time to stock up on the easy readers, parallel texts and grammar workbooks you’ll need to improve the language you’re learning in 2026 –  at an unbeatable price – as the next sale won’t be until April, so a long way off!

Browse our Catalog now: Italian | Spanish | French | German

There are free sample chapters to download for all of the many hundreds of ebooks there. Enjoy finding materials for your current level, and for the level or levels you aim to reach in the future.

One Final Festive Easy Italian Reader Ebook – an easier one!

The last couple of weeks we’ve been promoting a selection of seasonal Italian ‘easy reader’ ebooks, first ‘Natale a sorpresa‘ (about Christmas), then ‘Giallo a Capodanno‘ (New Year). They’re both still half-price, if you missed them. See the P.S. below for more details and links.

But attenzione! ‘Natale a sorpresa‘ and ‘Giallo a Capodanno‘ are both for upper-intermediate or advanced students, so might be too much of a challenge for many of our readers.

To remedy that, this week’s (final) seasonal ‘easy reader’ ebook choice is the A2/B1 (pre-intermediate/intermediate) -level ‘Il calendario di Laura‘.

Easy Italian readers - Il calendario di Laura - cover image

Laura finds weekdays a bore but loves public holidays! And Italy has plenty to enjoy, each with its own traditions.

Read how she and her husband like to spend each ‘giorno festivo’, from Epiphany on January 6th, through the spring, summer, fall and winter months, to the climax of the Christmas holidays, New Year, and then, to begin all over again!

  • Suitable for students at elementary level and above
  • Download your Free Sample Chapter (.pdf)

Remember, this week ‘Il calendario di Laura‘ is 50% discounted, so just £4.99 rather than the usual ‘easy reader’ ebook price of £9.99!

Two weeks ago our ‘Half-Price Ebook of the Week’ was the very seasonal B2 (upper-intermediate)-level ‘Natale a sorpresa‘.

Easy Italian reader - Natale a sorpresa - cover image

Because we’re still feeling Christmassy, we’ve left it at half-price until the holidays, to give you a chance to grab your copy at a discount: ‘Natale a sorpresa‘.

Ditto with last week’s seasonal Italian ‘easy reader’, the B2/C1-level ‘easy reader’, ‘Giallo a Capodanno‘, a New-Year murder mystery, perfect for improving your Italian reading/listening skills over the holidays.

N.b. Both of those are for more advanced/confident learners of Italian. If that sounds like you, check out the free sample chapters (don’t forget to try the online audio, too – the link is in the free sample):

Read/listen to one or both of these over the next week or two and you’ll improve your Italian comprehension skills, consolidate the grammar and vocabulary you’ve studied, and get into the festive mood.

Half-Price Ebook Easy Reader ‘Giallo a Capodanno’ Just £4.99

Easy Italian reader - Natale a sorpresa - cover image

Last week’s email about the half-price promotion on the B2-level Italian easy reader eBook ‘Natale a sorpresa‘ could easily have ended up in people’s ‘trash’ folder, along with all the ‘Black Friday’ offers.

And this week? We have another seasonal Italian eBook for you!

Half-price, B2/C1-level easy reader ebook ‘Giallo a Capodanno‘ is perfect for improving your Italian reading/listening skills over the holidays, though it’s a little harder than ‘Natale a sorpresa‘ so check the free sample chapters for each before you buy:

Easy readers in Italian - Giallo a Capodanno - cover image

“Sbrigati Alida, o arriveremo in ritardo alla festa di Capodanno!” ripete nervosamente Martina alla sua compagna di stanza. Alida sta sdraiata sul letto con un libro di Agatha Christie fra le mani. Si toglie pigramente gli occhiali da lettura e guarda fuori dalla finestra: “Nevica ancora, che incubo!”

It’s New Year 1970 and Martina’s all dressed up for the party, determined to enjoy it! But her roommate, Alida is more cynical:

“Ascolta: siamo bloccati dalla neve in un collegio in cui viviamo tutto l’anno. Dei duecento alunni che frequentano la scuola, solo sette (sette, porca miseria!) hanno dei genitori che non li vogliono tra i piedi nemmeno durante le feste. E noi siamo tra questi sette. Quindi puoi anche vestirti come Marilyn Monroe… ma rimani una disgraziata!”

Alida would rather read detective thrillers than pretend to have fun with just six fellow students. But who knows? Perhaps something interesting will happen?

Easy Italian reader - Natale a sorpresa - cover image

Matteo’s supposed to be writing a book – he has a deadline coming up – but he’s suffering terribly from writers’ block. All he can do is stare at a blank computer screen. He’s recently out of a relationship, which hasn’t helped…

Worse, it’s December and Christmas is coming! Normally Matteo spends the festive season with his family, but this year they’re visiting relatives in Australia. So it looks as if he’ll be celebrating alone.

Then he has an idea. He’ll call his best friend Filippo, who’ll surely be able to help! Perhaps they can spend Christmas at Filippo’s place in the mountains, or take a trip somewhere…

Already used the 33% ebook coupon code? If not, here’s how.

Did you know that you can get a 33% coupon code to use on language-learning ebooks purchased from EasyReaders.org?

All you have to do is join the mailing list (for example here: https://easyreaders.org/mailing-list/.)

Students of Italian, Spanish, French, and German who get on the mailing list should be sent the coupon code.

N.b. This promotion is one-use-per-person, so if you’ve already discounted an ebook order with the 33% coupon code, we’re sorry (but there’ll be a 25% Sale promotion soon, in January 2026…)

All that said, looking at the stats for this coupon code, we have many thousands of addresses on our mailing list (including yours, if you’re reading this in an email) but over the years only nine hundred and eighteen people have used the coupon code to save 33% on their ebook purchases.

So we thought we’d send a reminder: join the mailing list here if you’re not already on it.

But wait! You’re reading this in an email, but you don’t remember having been sent or using the coupon code??

Oops.

We’ve had a few changes to our bulk mailing systems over the years – due to privacy legislation and so on – so it is possible that your email address was added to our mailing list without any coupon code being sent out. For instance when downloading a free ebook.

Never mind, let’s fix that right now!

Use the following coupon code to save 33% on your order, with no minimum or maximum spend (but only if you haven’t already done so in the past):

mailing-list-33%-coupon-code

First make your selection from our range of ebooks, which have been especially written to keep you interested and so making progress.

Then go to your shopping cart and carefully paste in the coupon code (it’s mailing-list-33%-coupon-code ), press the ‘Apply coupon’ button and then…

scroll down to verify that the cart total has been reduced BEFORE proceeding with your payment!

Ebooks for students of Italian, Spanish, French, and German can be found on our Catalog page, where everything is organised by language, type, and level.

Free one-to-one online lesson offer ends tomorrow night

A final reminder not to miss the chance to take a free, one-to-one, online Italian/Spanish/French/German lesson with a native-speaker teacher.

There are only about 36 hours remaining of the Free Trial Online Lesson offer at NativeSpeakerTeachers.com. Their promotion ends tomorrow night, Sunday November 9th 2025.

They do these offers only in November and February, when things are otherwise quiet. So after Sunday, there won’t be another chance for a while!

This week they’ve already given away around eighty FREE online lessons, worth £22 each.

But they still have the capacity and budget for a few more, so if you’d like to try an online lesson with a native-speaker teacher, here are the links you need:

Italian | Spanish | French | German

There’s no need to buy one to get one free, and you don’t have to provide credit card or payment details. Anyone who wants to try an online lesson, gets one for free!

Of course, the idea is that some of you will buy additional lesson credits and continue to learn this way. Others won’t, but that’s fine – hopefully those people will say nice things about us to others they know who are learning Italian, Spanish, French or German.

This offer is for new students only. The Free Trial Lesson offer is limited to one free online lesson per person.

Grab your free trial lesson:

Italian | Spanish | French | German

When NativeSpeakerTeachers.com receives your order, their teaching management team will email you to find out what your needs and preferences are and WHEN you’d like to do your free lesson.

  • The Free Trial Online Lesson offer ends on Sunday 09/11/25
  • You don’t have to DO the lesson this week, just ‘book’ it
  • Lots of people have already signed up for a trial lesson, but there are still slots available
  • This offer is for NEW STUDENTS ONLY
  • If you booked a free trial last time but didn’t take it – try again!
  • But if you’ve already done a free trial in the past, sorry but this isn’t for you
  • Once you’ve completed your lesson, you’ll be sent a 15% discount coupon
