Italian Accent Learning Materials

  • The Italian accent materials include recordings of AccentHelp coaches Jim Johnson & Kate DeVore  guiding you through learning the accent. In addition, you get in-depth practice on the accent with a monologue.
  • You'll also hear some native Italians reading the practice sentences and practice monologue.
  • You'll have dozens of recordings of native speakers as well, including a PDF transcript of their conversations so that you can follow along as you listen.
  • You'll get a PDF of the teaching materials, plus three other versions of the book: a PDF file to print, MOBI for Kindle, and EPUB for other portable readers.
  • All of the sound files are in MP3 format so that you can play them on your computer, load them onto your phone, or burn them to a CD.
  • You'll receive a link via email so that you can download all of the materials as ZIP files directly to your computer.
  • You'll also get future updates for free! (The current version was updated in 2021.)
