THANK YOU for deciding to Speak Italian Magically!
What if you could learn Italian and have fun at the same time?
While reading the above question you might have imagined yourself laughing and
smiling. If so, you are ready to get on board of this special course created with YOU in
mind.
You might have bought this course because you really want to learn Italian, or
maybe because you just want to experiment this new approach, or just because you want
to Speak Italian Magically.
Whatever the reason, keep in mind that YOU will be the main character of this
course and YOU will see how.
Let’s talk a bit about how normally people try to learn a language. Some might have
had previous experiences in language learning. Maybe they tried with grammar based
approaches, and what happened? They had to think to every single word before speaking.
In other words they couldn’t speak the foreign language.
Other might have tried to learn long lists of vocabulary. They were trying to do
something like that:
house, casa, house, casa,house, casa,house, casa, house, casa,house, casa,house,
casa,house, casa,house, casa,house, casa.
Forget about this method! You can learn Italian and have fun!
Other people paid a lot of money to go to an Italian school in Italy and take an
intensive Italian course. Six hours a day for a month. But you know what? In the end they
couldn’t speak! Why? Maybe because they didn’t give pauses to their right brain to
process all the information. Or maybe because they just learned a lot of grammar.
Neuroscientists have discovered that we need to give pauses to the brain in order to
let the unconscious mind time to cope with the information. They also agree on the fact
that the unconscious mind is the one in charge for automatic responses. Let’s make an
example. Do you remember the first time you drove a car? Was it frustrating? You had to
think about all the movements you had to do...And now? Can you talk to someone while
driving? Do you think at all about the fact that you are driving?
You will Speak Italian automatically too, by studying just twenty minutes a day.
You might be saying. “ Come on, Antonio...It seems too easy to be true!”
Recently I came across to Mary Loverde’s website and read an article with fervid
interest.
Mrs Loverde writes about a woman who hated to exercise. She asked her if she
could simply get dressed to exercise three times a week. Let me put this clear, she didn't
ask her to exercise, but only to get dressed as if she was going to exercise. Even though
the woman was not willingful to do so, as she thought it was not worth it, in the end she
promised to do it.
Next week Mrs. Loverde asked her if she did it, and was asking to just add one
minute of walking...She was interrupted: the woman told her that she actually walked 30
minutes per week for three weeks and she actually enjoyed it! This is the power of micro
actions!
Do you know that if you just spend 10 minutes a day with Italian, in a month you
will have spent in average 5 hours learning Italian? And if you do so for a whole year you
will have spent at least 60 hours learning Italian.
Now I am just going to ask you to write down with a pen on a piece of paper this
sentence:
Io parlo l'italiano molto bene
Just copy it and put it on a place you can see it every day.
Stop reading ! Do it now! Go on reading only after writing the above sentence!
You did that micro-action that will help you start and learn Italian now.
Speak Italian Magically is based on the accelerated and whole brain learning
methods developed by Dr. Georgi Lozanov. It also keeps in mind the researches of
Steven Krashen and James Asher. If you want to know more about them, read “The
science behind Speak Italian magically”.
Speak Italian magically will help you tap into the vast potential of your other than
conscious mind by using the power of vivid visualization. You are re-awakening the
genius inside you, the same that learned your native language...long before you ever went
to school. Be curious about the language, the same way you were as a child! Play with
the language instead than studying it. Your other- than-conscious-mind reacts better to
play than study.

How to use this course
You will be guided into an adventure in each episode. There are ten episodes. Each
episode is accompanied by relaxing music.
After doing the micro-action I asked you on the other page, decide to start and use
the course every day for at least ten minutes a day. After that, take some minutes to think
why you want to speak Italian and write down the reasons why you want to be able to
do it. Put these notes in a place you can see as often as you can. Do it now!
Steps for each episode
1. Find a comfortable place in a relaxing environment, such as an easy chair or on a
bed. Imagine you are a child again and you are about to have fun while discovering your
new language -Italian. Listen to the adventure while enjoying the experience and let your
mind wander with the images and feelings from the recordings.
2. Listen to the adventure again as you read the script from the playbook. Get
involved! Highlight each new words, underline and circle the book with colored pens and
markers. Color the drawings in the script. Draw your own! It’s fun! This playbook is
yours to draw in: do it and enjoy! All this helps activate your right brain.
3. After that you will feel comfortable to listen to the Italian only version of the
adventure and feel proud as you understand everything.
4. Playfully answer the questions presented at the end of each script.
5. Speak in chorus with the Italian only version of the adventure. Get synchronized
with the Italian voice and speak with it. This is a little challenge, but it is fun and really
helps your brain understand that you really want to speak Italian!
6. Look at the mind map and imagine the adventure while looking at it. Write down
the words you easily remember on the mind map branches. Create your own mind map.
It’s fun and will help you remember words.
7. Do you also want to improve your writing skills? Use play and pause to create
your own dictation exercise. Write down what you listen, then check how good you are!
Additional tips
* The first episode builds on your motivation, so consider listening to it once a
day for as often as you wish.
* After three deep breaths, close your eyes and affirm your success! In the next
paragraph you will find some positive affirmations in Italian. Write them down and
prononuce them enthusiastically. Look forward to your play time with Speak Italian
magically.
* Take it easy and in thirty to sixty days you will have mastered about 800 frequent
