Fair enough. ‘Speak the Culture’ we say. But what exactly does that mean?
We mean learn to understand the film, the music, the history, the politics, the art and so on – all the ingredients that define a nation, its people and, yes, its culture. In case you’re in any doubt about what speaking the culture involves, we’ve made some chapters available to download free of charge.

I’ve just finished Speak the Culture: Italy, the best to-date I really recommend it. It’s also endorse by the Italian Cultural Institute, not bad!
