Well, now you can experience that amazing feeling too!My name is Kieran Ball and I’ve been teaching foreign languages in my hometown for over fifteen years. I love languages, I love learning and I love teaching. I also love chocolate, but this isn’t really the place to discuss my chocoholism!I created 3 Minute Italian as a way to make learning Italian easier than ever before and accessible to anybody, especially people who have tried and failed in the past. My course is perfect for the complete beginner as I break down the Italian language into tiny chunks that I show you how to build back together again in a logical, simple to understand way. You can go from knowing no Italian at all to putting together your own sentences in just a few minutes. Watch the free preview lessons below and you’ll see what I mean.TRY THE FREE PREVIEW LESSONSI really want everybody to see that they can learn to speak Italian, so I’ve turned the first fifteen videos of this course into free previews, meaning you can watch them without even signing up. If nothing else, I just want you to see how easy it is to learn Italian.HOW DOES 3 MINUTE ITALIAN WORK?As the name suggests, each lesson in this course lasts just three minutes (more or less!). In each lesson, you learn a tiny chunk of Italian that you can use to build sentences. As you work through the course, you learn more and more little chunks and your sentences will gradually get longer and longer.The chunks that you learn in the first lessons are carried through to the last lessons. This means you don’t have to worry about trying to remember everything; you will get so much opportunity for practice that you will find the words and phrases just sink into your brain.The lessons in this course are focused, practical and effective, and you will build language skills that you can use straight away in real-world situations. You will be able to speak Italian comfortably and with confidence whenever you’re in a Italian speaking country.WHY 3 MINUTES?When you begin learning something new, you tend to start off with lots of excitement and motivation. You might spend a few hours on the first day learning, but then the next day, you can only manage one hour, and then that goes down to half an hour, and then you get bored and you give up. Well, the reason behind the very short lessons is that it helps you to stay motivated and it also enhances the learning process.By keeping your learning to short chunks, you will find three wonderful things start to happen:1. You will maintain enthusiasmIf you want to learn anything, you have to maintain enthusiasm or else you won’t continue. If you limit your study time to just three minutes, you’ll keep Italian fresh and exciting and you’ll be eager to learn. If you spend hours studying, very quickly you’ll get bored with Italian and it’ll turn into a chore.2. You will study more consistentlyIt’s much better to study for just three minutes once a day than to study for three hours once a week. A spare three minutes is relatively easy to find even in the most hectic of schedules. If you make sure you complete at least one three-minute study session every day, it’ll quickly become a habit that you’ll do without thinking. It’s much easier to fit in a daily three-minute habit than a weekly one-hour habit. By doing this, you’ll become a much more consistent learner, and consistency is the key to success.3. You will remember things betterThis is my favourite reason as to why you should limit your study to just three-minute chunks. If you study something for just three minutes every day, you’ll trick your brain into memorising the information more quickly than if it were to see the information for hours each day. It’ll think, “I see this information every day so it must be important, but I don’t see it for very long, so I’d better hold onto it and make it into a memory fast!” You’ll be amazed at how much more easily things tend to stay in your brain if you limit yourself to just three minutes a day.So, that’s why I keep the lessons to just three minutes.A METHOD THAT REALLY WORKSI can’t quite believe it, but over 130,000 people in more than 200 countries have now used 3 Minute Languages to learn to speak a foreign language. It still amazes me when I get an email from somebody on the other side of the world telling me how much they have enjoyed learning Italian with me. Apart from the thrill it gives me to find out people are listening to my voice in places like Mongolia, Peru and even Fiji, it also confirms to me that the 3 Minute Languages courses work.So, if you want a course that teaches you to speak Italian you can use in everyday situations using a simple and fun method, then sign up to 3 Minute Italian today.Grazie 🙂KieranWho this course is for:You really want to learn to speak Italian in a very simple and very quick wayYou are going to spend a holiday/vacation in Italy or another Italian speaking countryYou have failed to learn Italian in the past, but really want to give it one more goYou have no experience with Italian, but you would like to learn fastYou have always wanted to learn a new language, but you are very busy and can never find the timeKieran Ball – Udemy – 3 Minute Italian – Course 8Build on from the knowledge you learnt in Courses 1-7, and learn how to communicate in even more situations.What you’ll learnLearn about the formal and informal versions of the Italian imperativeLearn how to conjugate the present tense in Italian for regular and irregular verbsStart to look at how to use object pronouns in ItalianLearn lots of new and useful verbs to add to your collectionHave a look at the second structure in Italian and how you can use it to form questions and sentences quickly, without having to thinkLearn all about Italian pronunciation rules, looking at vowels and consonants, and also get some tips on how to sound more “Italian”Learn lots of useful phrases that you can use in everyday conversationsLook at the two different ways to say “leave” in Italian and how to use themStart to learn about how it isn’t always possible to translate English phrases directly into Italian, and how we have to change them firstLook at how to use the phrase “c’è” in the pastDescriptionHello and welcome to “3 Minute Italian – Course 8″ The aim of this course is to make Italian accessible to anybody regardless of age, educational background or “aptitude” for learning.
