Say 'yes' to ten minutes here and there. My favorite is the "language and culture" component of Rocket Italian. The lessons go into all the depth you'd expect from a textbook, but it also comes with a bunch of audio examples, and testing tools to help you stick that material in your memory.
You can easily pull out your phone or your laptop Another great option is Ouino Italian. If you struggle with the comprehensive "textbooky" style explanations in Rocket Italian, then Ouino might be a better bet for you. Ouino excels at giving you the most important information without overwhelming you with detail.
The course is extremely well structured, with everything broken down by form and function. There's a section on the "building blocks" of grammar, another section specifically for verbs and conjugations, a whole section for drilling yourself on vocabulary groups, as well as some pronunciation and conversation practice.
Ouino doesn't lock you into a pre-determined study path: It allows you to pick and choose your lessons depending on your interests. But there's also a very well devised "recommended learning path" if you need it.
Like Rocket Italian, Ouino also comes in app form, so you can take it wherever you go. It's available as a subscription product, but the best option is the very reasonable lifetime one-off purchase. Once you've covered some of the basics, the best thing you can do is get out there and start using that knowledge in the "real world". Even if you don't have any Italian speakers to chat with, you can still get a dose of real-world language through books, podcasts, radio, music, and more.
All of these things will expose you to new vocabulary, grammar, patterns, and expressions. Don't be disheartened if you don't understand everything. That's not the goal! You WANT to be running into words and language you don't know. That's how you learn! Children's stories can be a great place to start trying to read in Italian. Stories designed for children and young adults are likely to use simpler language and more straightforward ideas than texts designed for adults. You could start with our fairy tales in Italian , or the stories on our sister site, The Fable Cottage.
They come with slow audio so you can listen as you read. Most stories on The Fable Cottage also come with video, which can make it a lot easier to understand what is happening in the story. Children's stories can be wonderful for the relatively simple language, but beware of the original versions of traditional fairy tales which might use antiquated language.
The stories on our site and The Fable Cottage use more useful, modern language. A really great resource for dipping your toes into real-world Italian media is FluentU. It gives you a curated collection of mostly real-world videos to watch in Italian. The material is organized by your skill level, and all videos come with subtitles with translations, among other things. It's a good way to transition into real-world material without completely overwhelming yourself. LingQ does a similar thing for written text.
You can use the range of pre-existing graded content on the LingQ site, or you can import your own text into the app.
LingQ will provide word-by-word definitions for every word in your document, and you can save words to your own revision list. And then, of course, there's always YouTube and streaming Italian radio stations.
If you're not fully confident yet, it might be less intimidating to listen to slow Italian: News in Slow Italian presents a weekly news discussion in slow Italian. It's a subscription service, but you can listen to the introductions to each episode for free, and this may well be enough for you. One of the hardest parts of learning Italian on your own is that you don't have as much practice with speaking Italian. You may be working with an app that has some built-in speaking practice, but it's not the same as working with a real human.
