25 Amazing Learn Italian YouTube Channels

Learning Italian has never been easier than it is today.

With the amount of free resources online you have an endless supply of free Italian content at your fingertips.

One of the best resources I’ve found for learning Italian is YouTube. There you can find videos covering everything from Italian grammar basics for beginners to full-length Italian movies with subtitles for more fluent speakers.

Here is a list of my favorite YouTube Channels I’ve found along my journey to Italian fluency:

1. Learn Italian with Lucrezia

LEVELS: BEGINNER / INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED
SUBSCRIBERS: ~175,000
VIDEOS: ~ 470

Born and raised in Roma, Lucrezia has an impressive YouTube following and it’s no wonder why. Her videos are engaging and are extremely helpful for beginners to more advanced students.

While Lucrezia has plenty of videos on Italian grammar I am a huge fan of her vlogs where she gives you a glimpse into her life in Italy. From simple visits to a local “supermercato” to trips around the beautiful country that is Italy the vlogs are a fun way to see how Italians live and learn the language at the same time.

2. Impara L’Italiano con Italiano Automatico

LEVELS: BEGINNER / INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED
SUBSCRIBERS: ~95,000
VIDEOS: ~ 525

Alberto’s enthusiasm and positivity makes his channel a must see. You won’t find a lot of grammar lessons here as that isn’t Alberto’s style but what you will find are videos that talk about Italian culture and tips on how to learn Italian.

His videos that include his “nonna” are entertaining and a personal favorite.

The lessons are completely in Italian but if you start from the very beginning you will be surprised how you will be able to follow them completely.
