Sometimes you only need a word
This is the perfect companion to the “Speak Italian From Day One” Course. I really loved the way Manu would give you the words and give you the English word that would relate to the Italian words. Even his gestors in describing words are rememrable Everything he did just made words just stick. It has been a couple of months since our trip to Italy but I can still see Manu describing lo scontrino as a little scout giving me a receipt for the cookies. There were many times on our trip where I reached back just to find a word, and surprise most times than not it was there. Yes, pointing and saying one word can get you by, though it does help this to be an accent to actual conversation. One example that I can think of – I am a knife collector and while being lost in Rome I found a Coltelleria (Knife shop). I learned that word on my first day. While one employee was very good at English, the shop owner was not. I was still able to point at a particular knife and throw a word out as a question to the owner, and considering we were all knife nuts it all went smooth as glass and I walked out with a real souvenir from Italy that will be in my collection forever more. So yes, this course is worth it.
Keep at It
This really clear and useful course is like daily exercise. It keeps my mind tuned to the sounds and meanings and warms up my muscle memory whenever I take it …..it is also great because the words presented here are words you use everyday so you can just look around you and practice practice practice ….
Fun
Great course and I found the method a very good aid to remembering . Manu is a very good relaxed and enthusiastic tutor. Perhaps it would be useful to have more vocabulary couses like this say another 400 words . I do like so much the fact that these courses(all of them) are not edited because there is no jumping and because its more natural to see it like a lesson so Manu becomes a person and not a robot
Great!
This is a great way to bulk up on important vocabulary. Manu makes fun suggestions to help you remember each word and how to use it in the language.
Great way for passive practice!
I definitely loved this course because it was helpful to be able to listen to the audio while working or driving. I used to look up top x words on YouTube, but it is difficult to find trustworthy videos! After going through this course I’m able to remember the vocabulary so much better because of Manu’s silly and funny pneumonic tricks! Usually the YouTube videos just say the word once in Italian and once in English, but Manu explains each word in detail, causing me to actually learn the word.
Another reason why I enjoyed this course is because I never know which words are “correct” or if the pronounciation is accurate, but with Manu’s videos I can actually trust them! Great for beginners for sure.
Not Just 400 Words
This course is an excellent way to build your Italian vocab. Manu gives clear guidelines on pronunciation plus detailed explanations of the words. Doing this course has answered many of those ‘so why do I use xxx here instead of yyy?’ questions. Thanks, Manu, another great course!
GREAT FOR BEGINNERS!
Amazing start for beginners!
For someone that has lived in Italy it was a great recap, wish there was more in depth examples of some of the words (on how to use them in conversations, for example) however since it is 408 essential words for beginners it was good to just get the jihst without being bombarded with a lot of unnecessary (which is what a lot of other books/tutorials would do). Therefore top presentation, professional .and to the point. Would love the same for intermediate level to know more colloquial phrases/words which is what I was really after. Nonetheless, thank you Manu!

Another 5 Stars
I have been doing this course alongside some of the others on offer and I feel it’s a great companion. I like the videos because I get to hear Manu pronounce the words; so you have a better chance of getting them right yourself. He also has little tips and tricks on remembering them. And then sometimes he gives insights into Italian culture along the way like how women say they are in their ‘antas’ to avoid revealing their exact age. Yeah I’m going to start doing that too! It’s a sort of painless way to get that vocab learnt, just a little bit each day. Now that I’ve completed the course I went back to see if I could remember all the words and found only 14 had slipped from my immediate memory. So the method has worked for me.
400 Words
Thank you Manu for your easy to watch, listen and learn from presentation. Your teaching method that I have viewed so far in your Youtube videos enticed me to your website and courses. I am currently doing 2 x 1 hr classes per week though find your method makes it easier to understand and remember. I look forward to continuing my progress of learning the Italian language through your courses and have already shown and recommended them to several of my class members. Thank you.
