ItalianLingQ.com Italian LingQ Podcast with iTunes MP3 Audio using Linguist Method by Steve Kaufmann

Learn Italian Language LingQ

Summary

The LingQ language-learning platform is among the most intentionally-created foreign language education products available. Developed by reknowned polyglot linguist Steve Kaufmann and company, LingQ is an excellent way to learn Italian using materials you choose yourself!

In fact, this is where LingQ excels as an educational platform because students can import any license-free content they want to base their lessons around. This means that the students decide what subjects and topics they wish to learn about based on professional needs and/or personal interests.

The particular podcast highlighted in this article is ItalianLingQ, a roughly weekly podcast with mp3 audio content for Italian language learners. Transcripts of the podcasts are available through LingQ, and can also serve as learning content themselves.

One additional advantage of the LingQ system is that for a single subscription, you can use their web-based platform to learn ten languages (and growing) including Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

What is ItalianLingQ?

First of all, the name itself (which is pronounced Italian Link) needs a little explaining. The first part, “Italian”, is fairly obvious since we teach Italian. LingQ is the name of our online learning system which you can find at LingQ.com. At LingQ you’ll study many different languages in a fun, community atmosphere. The “Ling” in LingQ comes from TheLinguist.com the people behind LingQ. Lastly, the “Q” is important because it forms the speech bubble in our logo and throughout our site and because it makes “lingq” sound like “link” (we think!) which is what our system does for you.

Nowadays, this kind of vacation is considered a bit dangerous and tiring; cruises are often preferred.(Tempo di vacanze: i giovani delle generazioni del passato hanno usato a lungo la ferrovia per i viaggi. Essi sono poco costosi e avventurosi, ma al giorno d'oggi questo tipo di vacanza è un po’ pericoloso, e considerato faticoso: le crociere sono spesso le preferite.)
