My Faves!
Welcome to MY FAVES, a curated list of some of my tried-and-trues! The support I use on my Italian journey; from early in my journey, to my newest stage. Every stage may require something different. Finding material relevant to you, your likes and your style can really springboard your success.
I whole-heartily want to be an Italian resource and truly believe that there is room for everyone. Because the truth is, we are all at a different point in our journeys and all have different strengths, weaknesses and methods that work for us. Besides, when it comes to the language learning, “switching it up” every so often or when you feel sluggish in what you’ve been doing, is a powerful ally!
Given that the best way to absorb that language is the learner’s enjoyment, I am including many categories to give a variety of options, interests and tools (as well as other Italian inspirations) so you can find what works for you now AND later. 😊
Be sure to check back for new additions in my continuing journey...
