How to Use Italki to Become Conversational in a Foreign Language with Sam Bleakly

September 17, 2013 By Cher 1 Comment

This episode’s audio doesn’t exist, and we have technology to blame (poof! gone into cyberspace!). Instead of listening to this episode, feel free to use the notes below to learn more about the topic. And if you’re like, “CHER, NO. I NEED THIS EPISODE,” then let me know in the comments below. I’ll put it on my list to record again!

The Most Creative Print Ads of the Year

There are tons of sites online for learning a language, but there aren’t many that you fall in love with or that you become dependent on.

Italki is both of those things for me.

Not only do I use the Notebook feature religiously, but I also get to tutor people from all over the world in English and get Italki credits toward my Italian teachers!

I am so enamored with this company that I NEEDED to get someone from there on the 30 Minute Italian podcast to talk about the best ways for using it and how all of you can become conversational through this one resource.

In this podcast episode, we’ll talk about:

— Two lesser-known features of Italki that will help you get lessons for free
— Why Italki is so much cheaper than normal language tutors
— How Italki will help you have your first, second, and third a-ha moment
— How to find the best language partner and one characteristic you need to look for
— How often you should use Italki to be truly effective

Sites Sam mentioned:

— Memrise – he called this the Ferrari of flashcards
— Lift – a habit forming app
— Italki
— Italki Referral Link
— Become an Italki community tutor
— Italki Challenge – for next time!
