short lessons, many ways to practice

italian is a culture, not just a grammar book
Mondosol was founded by Elio Mondello, an Italian educator who believes real education happens outside the classroom — in kitchens, on trains and around the dinner table.
That is why the Italian course pairs beautifully with our Italian Cooking course and our Travel guides: learn the words, then live them.
