Easy Italian
Ciao! We’re Matteo and Katie, from Easy Italian. We’re here to help you learn Italian in a fun and authentic way, by showing you how Italians speak in real life. On our channel, you’ll find interviews with people on the streets of Italy and a few of us goofing around at home in Milan.
Street Interviews
Our regular episodes help you learn Italian as it is spoken in everyday life. All of our videos are subtitled in Italian and English.
Super Easy Italian
We also produce videos for beginners that cover simpler vocabulary and are easier to understand.

Team
Matteo
Born and bred in Naples, in many ways Matteo’s a typical Italian. He loves cooking, knows a lot about wine and loves being by the sea. But not always: he’s soft-spoken, arrives early and doesn’t talk with his hands.
A graphic designer by trade, as well as being on camera Matteo does all the behind the scenes design and tech stuff. He’s also the one responsible for the cute drawings and crosswords in the weekly exercises.
Katie
Originally from England, Katie moved to Milan and learned Italian as an adult. She’s been exactly where you are now, so she’s good at putting herself in your shoes and explaining things in a simple way. You can think of her as your tour guide for the Italian language.
Katie absolutely loves foreign languages and tries to spend as much of her freetime as possible learning them. As well as presenting Easy Italian, she runs the online language school Joy of Languages.
Raffaele
Born in Naples, where he still lives with his family, Raffaele likes to consider himself a citizen of the world. If he's not hosting videos or producing podcast episodes, then he is probably learning a new language, or practicing one of the few that he has already learned.
He travels as much as he can, but never enough, and, as a tour leader, he enjoys showing his city to visitors from all over the world. He is a vegetarian and loves sports, especially football/soccer.
