This is a completely new method of
learning & mastering Italian...
This screenshot shows a successfully registered trademark number: UK00003472799.

It was filed with the trademark office to protect the invention of a powerful new method to learn Italian. It’s called StoryLearning®.

This new language learning method was invented by Olly Richards. He’s a language expert and author of 20+ language books.

You won’t find this anywhere else. That’s because Olly actually invented this brand-new language learning method.

StoryLearning is a powerful method to learn Italian as a beginner or intermediate student.

But it's even more powerful for advanced learners.

That's because StoryLearning is an entirely natural language learning method that helps you learn Italian the same way a native speaker does: With stories, not rules.

StoryLearning is a proven method for going from advanced to a true master of Italian.

And it will shock most people… But it’s based on science. It’s also endorsed by well known language learning experts around the world, who you can see below.

Pay close attention…
What Is StoryLearning?
From: Olly Richards
London, United Kingdom
StoryLearning was built to help language learners tackle the old “Parrot Problem” of language learning. You may remember it from school.

With the Parrot Problem, you use word lists and grammar rules. It’s the “repeat after me, like a parrot” style of teaching.

But you never truly learn the language this way. You’re just repeating it and putting it in your short term memory.
You can't remember Italian through other courses because they use the old Parrot Problem of learning.
Today, most existing Italian language courses and apps have the Parrot Problem.

Sure, they can teach you basic phrases. But when you reach an advanced level of Italian, you hit a brick wall and get stuck!

(That's why you're here on this page!)

StoryLearning is a new - and very different - method of learning Italian.

Best of all, the more advanced you get in Italian, the more it helps you. That's because StoryLearning teaches you to think like a native.

And thinking like a Italian speaker is the secret to mastering Italian and becoming fluent!
What Is StoryLearning?
As an experienced language teacher and speaker of eight languages, StoryLearning is a process I invented to teach you Italian naturally. It’s so natural, in fact, that it’s based on how you learnt to naturally speak as a child.

Stories are the most basic form of human communication. We've been communicating through stories for thousands of years – since we were cavemen.

That’s why my StoryLearning Method uses the power of story to teach you Italian to fluency! The language truly gets implanted in your mind.

You remember words more easily because you're so engrossed in the story. And the language makes sense to your brain naturally - on a deep level.

You end up learning Italian almost passively. It’s the same way that a native Italian speaker learns. That is the exciting result of learning through Story Learning.

StoryLearning Works So Well, Even The Media Are Talking About It
TV & radio have featured Olly Richards' 'StoryLearning' method that can help you learn Italian fast
My StoryLearning method has come from many years of expertise in the language learning field.

Not long ago, I appeared in a 5-part BBC documentary called ‘ The Superlinguists ’. It is all about how people learn languages.

The BBC interviewed me in order to understand StoryLearning and how I’ve used it to learn eight languages.

I explained that although I love learning languages myself, I get the most happiness from helping others achieve their dreams of learning languages.

  • The Open University asked me to partner with them to create a major course on learning languages
    The European Commission invited me to speak on their single most important event in the calendar year
     The British Council hired me to teach languages and train their teachers
1000s of my students use StoryLearning to successfully learn languages. So can you.

Summary
When you learn Italian at the advanced level through StoryLearning, you’ll be able to learn tricky Italian grammar naturally, just like native speakers do. That's the magic of stories!
  • The Problem:
 Most existing advanced Italian language courses and apps don’t work! That’s because they have the Parrot Problem working against them - ‘repeat after me’. That is not learning, it is more short term memorisation. That’s why you forget it so easily.

Meanwhile, most Italian textbooks teach you grammar with rules and endless boring exercises. That isn't real learning either! Because guess what? Native speakers don't think in rules! So why should you?

But, if you're an advanced Italian speaker, you already know this! You've spent months (maybe even years) learning grammar rules. But it never gets any easier, does it?

Ever wondered why?

Traditional language learning can be convenient for a beginner, when you need things "dumbed down" to get started. But if you want to break through the advanced level, and become truly fluent in Italian... you need to do things differently!
The Solution:
 As an advanced Italian learner, StoryLearning gives you exactly what you need:

Stop learning Italian with rules. Instead, immerse yourself in a magical world of stories!

This is how Italian speakers learn, as children. (It's how you learned your first language too.)

When you see Italian grammar inside a story, you'll start to internalise the grammar faster than you ever imagined. It's 100% natural learning, tailor made for the needs of an advanced-level student.

There are no ‘algorithms’ or ‘mass-produced software’. Just real learning, based on stories.

I’ve used this method to learn eight languages. I'm the living proof that it works.

But more importantly, so are my thousands of students who I’ve helped to learn a new language. I’ll use this exact same method to help you learn Italian too.

Please note: StoryLearning is very different to how you learned at school. If you’re a person who doesn’t like new things, StoryLearning might be a shock to you.

But if you truly want to master Italian, and use Italian freely in your life, then you can try StoryLearning today, completely risk-free..
Why Try To Master Italian?
When you started to learn Italian, you had dreams of speaking fluently. You probably imagined fearlessly chatting away with native speakers on the streets of Rome, Venice or Milan.

But at some point, "study" took over, things got tough, and your passion dropped. And that's ok - it happens to us all.

Here's what's important:

If you want to get fluent in Italian...

And go on to truly master the language...

You need to learn in a different way from the levels before. It's no longer enough to memorize phrases and study a few grammar rules.

All you need to break through advanced Italian, and finally become fluent, is a new toolkit.

As soon as you rediscover your momentum and progress, the sooner you will be rewarded with a more fulfilling life.

Being able to speak Italian fluently brings so much pleasure to your life. Why wait even a moment longer to start making the most out of life?

This Result *IS* Very Typical
Here’s a common experience my students get from my StoryLearning method.

Siu came to me after trying to learn Italian lots of times before. He was a typical case of 'stop and start' many times over the years. He never really got anywhere with his Italian.

After just a few lessons with my StoryLearning method, he wrote to me. He said he was amazed at how suddenly he was able to understand Italian grammar that had mystified him for years.
You see, Siu always had real trouble with Italian grammar and vocabulary in particular because of the traditional Parrot Methods he found on other courses.

But with my method, it’s different:

I don’t just give you a bunch of rules and then ask you to memorise them.

Instead, I give you a simple story in Italian to read. You read the story, and then listen to the audio. You immerse yourself in the sounds of Italian!

Then, you watch an in-depth lesson with your expert teacher, where she teaches you all about the Italian in the story. In particular, the grammar that appears in the story.
It’s unlike any grammar lesson you’ve had before!

Instead of grammar rules, I show you the grammar 'in action' inside the story. That’s what makes it so easy and natural to learn!

In fact, I almost don’t have to teach you at all…

You just begin to understand the grammar intuitively...

Just like a native speaker!

Because I’ve learned eight languages, I can use this experience to help you learn faster. And that’s the magic of this programme - a combination of StoryLearning plus my teaching!

That’s what Kelly found from StoryLearning, and this is also a typical result at all levels of Italian learning...

The advanced level included!

Things that have confused you for years suddenly become clear!
How Does StoryLearning Work?
It’s difficult to explain how well StoryLearning works. However, here’s a rough idea of how StoryLearning teaches you Italian so well...

Imagine you’re trying to solve a mystery. Here’s the mystery:
You’re on vacation in Italy. One day, you get hungry. You have a choice of three snacks: risotto, gnocchi and polenta. Two of the snacks are fine. The other contains poison. But you don’t know which! How will you choose which snack to eat?
How would you solve this mystery?

Now, I don’t know how you tried to solve this mystery in your mind. But actually, that wasn’t the point!

You see, when you read about this mystery, you automatically learned something.

You learned the names of three Italian foods:

• Risotto
• Gnocchi
• Polenta

You weren’t trying to learn anything. The learning just happened naturally as you thought about the mystery.

And because you don’t want to get poisoned, you probably thought carefully about it!

This is how StoryLearning is designed too. You learn Italian naturally as you read and listen to the story!

I’ve become fluent in eight languages using StoryLearning. It is a completely new way of learning languages. Thousands of people across the world have used it successfully to learn Italian...

And now you can use it to master the language!
The Secret 'Double Activation' Trick Behind StoryLearning
The Italian story I’ve created for this course is written to be the perfect balance for the advanced level.

You'll be able to enjoy the story. But you'll also be exposed to all the important grammar you need to master at this level... within the story!

Your eyes and ears will be immersed in Italian, by reading and listening to the story at the same time.

With the immersive video lessons in the course, you will learn about the nuances of the grammar from the story. This helps to push your understanding to the next level.

Finally, you'll activate what you learn within interactive exercises. This is the "bridge" that helps you actually use what you learn in speaking.
It’s Almost Like Learning Italian in Reverse!
You cover the Italian story first (that is the reverse of how Italian is usually taught). This lays the groundwork for the lessons.

During the lessons you go over the story. That’s when you break down how the language works in that same story.

This is why this time , the grammar will finally stick...

The learning isn't "rules-first". It's "story-first"!

The idea is that you are fully immersed in Italian. This helps you learn Italian naturally...

And finally get to the advanced level!
Bridge the Gap from Advanced to Fluency with Smart Exposure
You might be wondering, "how does StoryLearning work at the advanced level?"

As you get more advanced in a language, the difficulty doubles with each level.
If you’re a strong intermediate or advanced level, there’s still a huge gap until you reach the level a native speaker will read or speak at.

This gap can only be filled by lots of immersion.

Our Uncovered (Advanced) courses bridge the gap between intermediate and native level, by giving you “smart exposure” to more difficult language.

This means...
  • Full-Length Story Chapters: So you can build your “reading muscle” and learn with long-form text like a native speaker
  • Advanced Vocabulary: Exposure to a wider variety of words so you learn to express yourself intelligently on almost any topic
  • Graceful Grammar: Dozens of examples of highly nuanced grammar in context, so you can master the subtleties of Italian grammar and express yourself like natives do
  • Targeted Speaking Practice: Carefully designed speaking practice activities designed to challenge you, so you develop the ability to "think on the spot" and converse naturally in Italian
The result?

By the end of the course, you'll have bridged the "advanced gap" and be ready to start enjoying true native material like books, series and movies!

Not only will this give you the skills you need to fully and comfortably converse with native speakers...

But you'll also have the confidence that you only get at the advanced level of Italian.

The course will truly put any future learning in your own hands, as Italian becomes a central and natural part of your life!

Is this course compatible with mobile devices?
Yes, the course is fully compatible with ALL common desktop and mobile devices. You can do it on your computer, phone, iPad or Android tablet.
I'm still at the upper beginner / lower intermediate level. Is this course still relevant for me?
If you're at the Upper Beginner / Lower Intermediate level and haven’t yet reached a higher level in your language, this course is not for you.

I recommend my Italian Uncovered (Intermediate) course instead. It uses the exact same StoryLearning method as the Italian Uncovered (Advanced) course, but it's designed especially for intermediate students.

However, if you've been learning Italian for while and want to push yourself on towards fluency, then this advanced course is perfect for you.

The main advantage of this course is that you will be listening and reading to the story that accompanies the course from the beginning, which you will be able to enjoy even more with your existing knowledge.

The speaking lessons will also enable you to consolidate the Italian you already know, which all contributes to reaching advanced fluency and making fast progress in the language.
 What's the duration of the course?
The course is structured over 10 modules. Each module is broken down into a number of sections, including video lessons, worksheets, speaking activities and more. The time it will take you to complete the course will depend on the time you have available, and the pace at which you like to study. If you decide to study one module per week, for example, which is a reasonable pace, it would take you approximately 3 months to complete the course.
 Can I study at my own pace?
Yes. The course is designed for you to study at your own pace, in a time and place that suits you. The materials never expire. What's more, you get free updates to the course as they are released in the future. The course material is fully downloadable, so if you don’t have a good internet connection, you can download what you need, and access it any time, any place.
 Why is the course in US Dollars?
I have students from many countries around the world, and the US Dollar is the most widely-accepted currency. But don't worry! You can purchase the course with any debit or credit card, no matter where you live, and your bank will automatically convert the USD to your local currency at the market rate.
 How is Italian Uncovered (Advanced) different from other Italian courses?
When I set out to design Italian Uncovered, my main aim was to set it apart from every other Italian course. The way I've done that is to base the entire course around a story, and, in fact, the course syllabus itself emerges from the story.

Let me explain...

Most Italian courses are structured by taking a bunch of grammar rules, putting them together in a certain order, then teaching them to you one-by-one in a series of lessons. This is dull, and ineffective. In this course, we do things differently. In this course, you learn through 'StoryLearning'. This means you focus on relaxing, reading, and enjoying the plot of the story. The 'serious study' happens another way!

Rather than teaching you through a process of grammar rules, followed by tests, here's what we do instead. First, I make sure you see the grammar being used naturally in the story itself. This way, you get to learn how it works in a natural way. Second, you discover the rules by yourself... with a little help from your native Italian teacher, Valentina! Story first. Rules later. This makes learning much more effective.

This means you get to enjoy learning Italian first and foremost, rather than get bogged down in technicalities. (Yes... it's fun!)

Doesn't that sound more exciting than your last textbook?

At every stage of the course, you’ll be immersed in real Italian - both the written story and the audiobook. This means that by the time you finish the course, not only will you have read an entire book in Italian, but you’ll have a large vocabulary, so you can express yourself fully in conversation. You will also have had many hours of listening practice, so that following spoken Italian will be effortless.
The P.S.!
In case you're like me and skip to the bottom of long pages, here's the deal...

StoryLearning is a natural way to master Italian quickly and naturally without forgetting it over time.

It's the perfect way to bridge the "advanced gap" and become fluent in the language.

Try Italian Uncovered (Advanced) and you will be amazed at how quickly StoryLearning helps you develop your progress and master Italian...

So that Italian becomes a central and natural part of your life!
