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 some time (Sunday February 23rd).

There won’t be another chance to try a FREE one-to-one online Italian lesson until November 2020.

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

But we still have space for a few more trial students.

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 others 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.

Book your free trial Italian lesson

When we receive your order, our teaching manager will email you to find out what your needs and preferences are and WHEN you’d like to do your free lesson.

This week at EasyReaders.Org we’ll be giving away 100 FREE ONLINE ITALIAN LESSONS (the offer is for new students only.)

This is a promotion we do twice a year when things are otherwise quiet – the last one was in November 2019 and the next one will be in November 2020.

It could take a day or two for Lucia to write to you, so be patient.

And there’s no rush to do the free trial lesson, which doesn’t have to be this week – the offer ends on Sunday night, but that’s just a promotional deadline, not a limit for actually doing the lesson.

At A1 (beginner/elementary) level, it’s suitable even for those who have recently started learning Italian!

Yue, a talented young Japanese from a rural community in Hokkaido, wins a one-year scholarship to study opera at the ‘Conservatorio’ in Bologna, home to Europe’s oldest university.

But the thought of leaving her parents and brother for a whole year disturbs her.

And, before studying at the ‘Conservatorio’, she’ll first have to learn Italian…

Then check out our new C2-level ‘easy’ Italian reader ebook, ‘La carriera – dietro le quinte del Palio di Siena‘, which isn’t for the faint-hearted!

C2 is as hard as it comes, which still being ‘simplified’, so don’t expect an easy ride, so to speak.

E mancano solo quattro giorni al Palio, la corsa di cavalli più famosa d’Italia!”
sebbene la radio gracchiasse, si distinguevano piuttosto chiaramente le parole dell’esaltato commentatore: “Siena freme e si dipinge dei colori delle contrade, agghindate per la festa. Come ben sapete, cari ascoltatori, tra le dieci contrade che gareggiano vi sono alleanze e rivalità secolari. Per ogni contrada è stato già estratto a sorte un cavallo. I migliori di quest’anno sono il giovane Trifoglio, che è al suo secondo palio e corre per la contrada dell’Istrice, e la veterana Caruccia che vestirà i colori della Lupa. La Lupa e l’Istrice sono due storiche rivali, che fatalità, signori! Se ne vedranno delle belle!

Follow Il Guercio, a diminutive one-eyed Sardinian jockey, as he’s hired to ride one of the year’s best horses, bareback, in Italy’s most famous urban race, the Siena Palio!

As always, there’s Free Sample Chapter (.pdf) so you can get a better idea of the length, level and format of the material.
