All content is created and hosted by Elisa and Paolo, who guide learners through structured conversations, explanations, and contextual learning.
The system is simple, progressive, and level-based.
🟢 A1–A2 (Free — 1 episode per week)
These episodes are designed for beginners and lower-intermediate learners.
Each episode includes:
A structured dialogue between Elisa and Paolo
Clear pronunciation and repetition
Key vocabulary explained in context
Simple grammar naturally embedded in conversation

Goal: Build confidence, listening skills, and a solid foundation in real Italian.
🎧 Episodes:
New A1–A2 episodes are published once per week and are free for all subscribers.
🔵 B1–C2 (Premium — Minimum 3 episodes per week)
From B1 onward, the podcast becomes deeper, more natural, and more immersive.

📚 Weekly Grammar Lessons
In addition to the podcast, Italiano Dinamico publishes one grammar lesson per week as a written post.
These are not traditional dry grammar explanations.
Each grammar lesson includes:
A clear explanation of one structure (verb tense, pronouns, conditionals, etc.)
Natural example sentences
Short contextual paragraphs
Embedded audio clips within the post
Spoken examples of sentences containing the target structure
The audio inside the lesson helps learners connect written grammar to real pronunciation and rhythm.
These posts complement the podcast and reinforce what appears naturally in conversations.
🗓 Weekly Publishing Structure
Every week:
1 Free A1–A2 Podcast Episode
Minimum 3 Premium B1–C2 Podcast Episodes
1 Grammar Post with Embedded Audio
This creates a balanced system:
Beginners can start immediately.
Intermediate and advanced learners receive intensive immersion.
All levels benefit from structured grammar reinforcement.
👥 The Teaching Dynamic
All podcast episodes and grammar content are created and presented by Elisa and Paolo.
Their format includes:
Natural conversational interaction
Explanation through dialogue
Realistic scenarios
Repetition and variation
Gradual complexity increase

📖 The Learning Philosophy
Italiano Dinamico is built on three principles:
Exposure to real spoken Italian
Progressive level-based structure
Consistent weekly rhythm
The objective is not only to understand Italian, but to think and respond naturally in Italian at every level — from A1 to C2.
