Course Description

This is the second course in the 3 Minute Italian series and it consists of lessons 10-18. If you're familiar with all the words and phrases you learnt in the course 1, then you're ready to go!

The good thing about the 3 Minute Italian courses is that everything you learn is recapped in later lessons, so you don't have to worry about going back to the start to refresh your memory (although you can if you like, it won't harm you). At the end of every lesson are some recap practice exercises to make sure words and phrases you learnt previously are still secure in your memory.

In this course, you'll start to look at some different sentence structures in Italian. You'll be looking at some ways to ask questions and then you'll get an introduction to a very useful part of the language: verbs. All of this will open up the Italian language to you, giving you many more things to say. Don't worry if you've never come across verbs before, or if you've had a bad experience with learning grammar; everything in this course is explained in a simple and easy to understand way.

As well as the new structures, we'll be exploring some new topic areas including telling the time in Italian, booking taxis and asking where things are. We'll also look at an interesting linguistic feature in English called the Saxon Genitive, and we'll discover that it doesn't exist in Italian so we'll need ways to get around it.

The best way to tackle the trickier features of any language is to spread them out rather than looking at them all at once. Sometimes, when you open a foreign language instruction book, all the linguistic features of the language are introduced on the first page, and it can often be very off putting! In the 3 Minute Italian courses, I have broken them down and spread them about. We look at each particular feature when it crops up naturally in the order of the course. In this course, there are a few such features that need explaining in order to understand how some of the Italian structures work.

In this course, there are also some more Vocabulary Expansion Sheets for you to boost your Italian vocabulary.

I hope you enjoy :-)

Hello, bonjour, hola, hallo, ciao and olá! 

I’m Kieran and I’m a language tutor based in the UK, and I also create online courses and write books to make language learning accessible to all.

My books and online courses are based on the method I developed for teaching languages, which I've been using in all my classes for many  years. The method will get you speaking quickly, without the  struggle normally associated with language learning.

I have created three series of language courses available in French,  Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. They're called: '3 Minute  Languages', 'Building Structures' and 'Quick Guides'.


I hope you enjoy, and "Happy Learning" :-)

The 3-minute segments are very helpful and easy to follow. I enjoy listening to the lessons while walking and practicing my pronunciation at the same time. It would be great if I could follow all the lessons via Spotify or another music/podcast app. It makes reviewing material easy.

Das Konzept des Kurses passt sehr gut für mich. Die Lernschritte sind klar gegliedert und bauen aufeinander auf. Die Lektionen machen viel Spaß und ich habe das Gefühl, das ich das Erlernte gut im Gedächtnis behalten kann.

By Jennifer Baber on 3/16/2021

As I go through each course, I find it more and more helpful. I love his voice, and the manor in which he explains different items or categories. He does keep my interest. Thank you.

I'm blown away by my progress because of Keiran's teaching method. I could never get this far at any other time I attempted to learn Italian. I'm not perfect by any stretch, but my progress is miles ahead of where I have ever been. So grateful for his course!

By Helen Rowland on 9/22/2020

I'm enjoying this. It takes you by the hand and gives you lots of chance for repetition. I speak French, Spanish and English but have never learned Italian so it's a gentle introduction. I am also a language teacher and it's good to see the method that he's using and to see how it feels to be a student. Very interesting experience.

By John Hales on 9/6/2020

This is the 2nd learn Italian course, I've done from Kieran, and It is the best course that I've ever taken. Before I discovered Kieran's courses, I had been trying for about a year to learn Italian, and none of them were effective, but this course and these courses made by Kieran are excellent!

By Jones N Onuoha on 3/5/2019

I have been trying to learn a language for years without success and I have come to the point, I started thinking that perhaps I am not good for it, but there again, I keep asking myself how is it possible for others to do it and not me, then I said to myself again, let me give this one a try after the intro, if it doesn't work then I will know that the only thing for me to do is to move to any country I want to learn their language for 6 months to live with the people to learn the language, happily this one worked, Thanks Kieran!

By Marietta J. Toscano-Chaky on 8/20/2018

I learn more in three minutes than I have using other methods. Learning a language can be difficult, but not using Kieran Ball's method and style. He is easy to follow and understand.

By Ian McKay on 8/16/2018

This course has been a very good match for my learning style. Language at school was always difficult due to the focus on grammar. This course has made learning a language a pleasure rather than a chore. I used my new language skills on a recent trip to Italy and being able to speak the language made for a more enjoyable experience. Assolutamente fantastico, grazie mille.

By Jankowski Mélissa on 10/26/2017

One of my favorite course ! I've finally found the way I can learn languages ! I'm impressed by all of what I'm able to say in Italian with only 2 courses, means not even 10 hours. Happy to get Course 3 ! I'll apply this method if I want to learn another language later. Grazie e a dopo !
