03 Nov Italy Digital Retreat 2026
Are you looking for a way to make learning Italian for free genuinely valuable? I have a fantastic option for you.
On November 13th and 14th, the Italy Digital Retreat 2026 will take place and it is a free online event for anyone who loves Italy and the Italian language and this year, I am thrilled to be participating as one of the guest speakers!
What is the Italy Digital Retreat?
It is a two-day audio event, now in its fourth edition, organized by Elfin Waters from Italy Coffee Secrets. It features 15 guest speakers: teachers, linguists, authors, and Italy experts. Each conversation is a window into contemporary Italy – its language, culture, and lifestyle.
Most of the talks will be in Italian, complete with transcripts. Some sessions will be in English and you can listen to the recordings whenever you like – over coffee, during a walk, or on your way to work.
What will I be talking about?
My presentation (in Italian!) focuses on how to understand two Italians talking to each other. I’ve been teaching Italian for nearly 20 years, and the thing I hear most often is: “I understand the teacher, but when native speakers talk to each other, I get lost after a few seconds.” Fast pacing, interrupting one another, unfinished sentences and filler words like cioè, boh, or dai – I’ll show you how to navigate all of this!
Why should you join?
- You will learn Italian for free with top experts
- Listen to authentic language spoken by native Italians
- Transcripts to help you understand every single word
- Flexible listening at your own pace
It’s the perfect opportunity to practice your listening comprehension and experience the true essence of Italy without leaving your home.

Participation is completely free. Don’t miss this chance – learning Italian for free is rarely this inspiring!
