Here’s a final reminder to snap up your free online Italian lesson, if you haven’t already done so.

There are only about 36 hours remaining of our Free Trial Online Italian Lesson offer, which ends tomorrow night (Sunday November 8th 2020).

There won’t be another chance to try a FREE one-to-one online Italian lesson until February 2021.

This week we’ve already given away over a hundred and fifty FREE online Italian lessons, worth £20 each.

But we still have the capacity and budget for a few more, so if you’d like to try an online lesson (via Skype) with a native-speaker Italian teacher, click this link.

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 Italian 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 people they know who are learning Italian.

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

This week at EasyReaders.Org we have another half-price ‘Ebook of the Week’ offer for you. And as with the previous one, it’s available in two different formats: choose between the ‘easy reader’ or the ‘parallel text’.

What’s the difference? Well, why not download the free sample chapter for each format to your computer, tablet and smartphone and take a look?

It’s bascially the same story, but the ‘easy reader version’ (.pdf) comes with an audio recording, glossaries and exercises, whereas the Italian/English parallel text version (.pdf) has none of those things but includes a full line-by-line translation from the original Italian into English. The lines are numbered, so you can compare the original and the translation.

Click the cover images to download the .pdf to your device. That way you’ll see which would better suit your preferred way of studying.

Skills focus (reading/listening etc.)? Then choose the ‘easy reader version’ (.pdf).

Grammar/vocabulary of more interest to you? Then maybe you’d prefer the Italian/English parallel text version (.pdf)?

So, what’s this week’s half-price story about?

A young artist, who can’t pay his rent, offers to paint his landlord’s flat instead. But guess who the landlord’s daughter turns out to be?

Normally £7.99, both versions of this story are half price this week, so just £3.99, only in our online shop! Click the links below to view the option you prefer:

Il campo di papaveri – easy reader version, just £3.99! | Free Sample Chapter

Il campo di papaveri – Italian/English parallel text version, just £3.99! | Free Sample Chapter

Or select something more suited to your level from our catalog page, where all of our ebook titles are listed by type and in approximate level order.

N.b. Most of our ebooks, including these two, are now delivered via a download link sent automatically once your payment has cleared. You’ll find the download link in the ‘Order completed’ email, or the one with with the word ‘invoice’ in the subject line. If you have asked for non-.pdf versions (Kindle etc. – but only available for the ‘easy reader’ version), these will be emailed to you, manually not automatically, within 24 hours of your order.

P.S.

Yesterday we published a new, B1/2-level, ‘easy’ Italian reader ebook, ‘L’avventura‘, the latest in our series of ebooks relating the stories of classic Italian movies.

In 1960, the same year that Felini’s masterpiece ‘La dolce vita’ won the Cannes Film Festival’s ‘Golden Palm’, another Italian director, Michelangelo Antonioni, presented a movie which, though it went down badly with audiences, was admired by his peers. Fellow director, Roberto Rossellini, described it as ‘the most ‘beautiful’ film ever shown at a festival’, so it was no surprise when ‘L’avventura’ was awarded the prestigious Jury Prize.

The first part of an existentialist trilogy, the film was shot in the scenic Aeolian Islands, and on nearby Sicily. A group of friends – including Anna, her best friend Claudia, and Anna’s well-off architect boyfriend, Sandro – are holidaying on a luxury yacht. While they are moored at a tiny, uninhabited island, one of the party mysteriously disappears. A search is begun, but the weather begins to worsen…

This re-telling for learners of Italian makes a great introduction before watching the movie itself. Or simply an excellent supplement to your study program!

You can find out more about this story in our online shop and/or check out the Free Sample Chapter (.pdf), to get an idea of the length, level and format of the ebook.

At the top of Chapter 1 in the free sample chapter download (.pdf) there’s a link to the online audio. The audio version of the entire story is available to listen to, FREE, even if you don’t buy the ebook, though, obviously, having the full text does make life easier.

As always, this first week only ‘L’avventura‘ is 25% off – so just £5.99 rather than the usual ‘easy reader’ price of £7.99!

• .pdf e-book (+ audio available free online)
• .ePub and Mobi (Kindle-compatible) versions available at no extra cost (just ask)
• 8 chapters to read and listen to
• Comprehension questions to check your understanding
• Italian/English glossary of ‘difficult’ terms
• Suitable for students at pre-intermediate level and above
• LAUNCH OFFER (until 25/10/20) just £5.99!
• Download your Free Sample Chapter (.pdf)

Once your order is completed, you will receive a download link for the full version of the ebook. The download link is valid for 7 days / 3 download attempts, so save the .pdf ebook in a safe place on your device!

Well, ten thirty-minute online lessons with a native speaker teacher (Italian, French, Spanish, German…) would normally cost you £165 (just £16.50 a lesson).

Or what about this?

An ebook ‘easy reader’ (simplified text + audio) or ‘parallel text’ (simplified text + translation), both of which are ideal for supplementing a more traditional language course, would normally cost £7.99.

But with the coupon code, you could buy several, perhaps at different levels (so anticipating the progress you will make in the last few months of this year) and get MORE learning material for your money.

Add five ebooks to your cart and the twenty percent saving means you’ll only be paying for four. Choose ten but pay for eight, and so on.
