Course Description
Hello and welcome to “3 Minute Italian - Course 4” The aim of this course is to make Italian accessible to anybody regardless of age, educational background or "aptitude" for learning. This course leads on from "3 Minute Italian – Courses 1, 2 and 3" and new language structures are introduced to enable you to communicate in more situations when on holiday abroad.
My method for teaching Italian is simple but effective. It works for anybody, no matter what your requirements. I have been teaching foreign languages for over ten years and I’ve taught a wide range of students of all ages and backgrounds, including students with learning difficulties, so I know my method is accessible to absolutely anyone, with no exception.
With this course, it’s almost as if you have your very own language tutor at your beck and call. Take it with you wherever you are and have a quick listen to one of the lessons whenever you find yourself with three minutes to spare. You will be amazed at how much your language skills will develop after just a few minutes a day of study. You will start to learn the Italian language in a simple, logical and fun way.
You will learn a variety of words that you will learn to put together to form sentences that will be useful in any visit to Italy or any other Italian speaking country, and you'll learn how to put the words together to form sentences, saying exactly what you want.
There is ample opportunity throughout the course to practise what you've learnt, and structured repetition ensures you'll never forget what you've learnt.

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" :-)

Ik vind het een erg fijne cursus. Veel van de lessen volg ik via Spotify tijdens mijn dagelijkse wandelingen met de hond. Het tempo van de lessen vind ik prima en de uitleg van de bijbehorende grammatica is super!

I am truly learning Italian. I am not always perfect at it, but I love three minutes a day. Now onto 3 Minute Italian - Course 5!
By Stephen Trevarthen on 2/25/2025
The approach to learning Italian is quite good although I think not enough ground is covered in each course which means doing other courses in the series becomes necessary and hence more expensive.
By Ingrid Koller on 4/15/2023
I love the short lessons and Kieran's clear, systematic approach.
By Paulina Rejtner on 10/14/2022
More or less fine, but there are some mistakes, eg. 'tre notte' instead of 'tre notti' and also some spelling ones. The rest is fine.
By Natalie Flowers on 2/14/2021
This is the only series of lessons that have helped me learn Italian. I am about 14 months in...and have accomplished so much for my self. Sono molto felice! Grazie!
By Jankowski Mélissa on 11/8/2020
È stato perfetto ! As always. I really enjoy this way of learning, a step by step approach, with clever spaced repetition process. Now let's start course 5 ! Grazie !

It is a very good course to beginners but the road is still very long from here to basic italian
By Ashley Stubbs on 4/24/2020
This is going really well for me! I've started to learn several different languages before, but I've never been able to get as far as I have with these courses. I feel like I can actually put sentences together, and when you learn one word/phrase/grammatical rule at a time, it doesn't feel as daunting. While 3 minutes doesn't seem like much when you want to perfect something right away, I am so pleased that it's good for my long-term memory to go over these things slowly, again and again. Not too fast, not too slow. Five stars, thank you!
