    Do I need to know Italian to work as a marketing expat in Italy?

    Ciao! Siamo Gabriele e Angelique. Benvenuti nel nostro podcast!

    We are passionate language learners, and we record for you the language learning podcast we’d like to play when we learn new languages.

    Our podcast, produced in mixed English and simple Italian, helps beginners and intermediate Italian language learners enjoy engaging content about Italy, its language, and its culture from day 0 of their language learning journey.

    Marketing in Europe can be challenging because of its multicultural environment.

    Rather than seeing it as an obstacle, one can turn it into an opportunity.

    This is what you will discover today through our conversation with Marta Romão.

    ---

    For a Portuguese, Marta had a unique childhood. Having been born in Lisbon in the 90s, she lived in Belgium with her family until she was six.

    This experience opened her world.

    Instead of pursuing an average Portuguese lifestyle, she ventured out of her home country by working as a multilingual marketing professional in Spain, and in Italy.

    In this episode, we chatted with Marta about her life, her experience in the Italian marketing scene, and working with Italian tech start-ups in Rome.

    ---

    This episode will conclude our second season of the Italian Escape Podcast. We will take a break and launch our third season after the summer.

    If you want us to cover any topic of interest, email us, and we’ll happily talk about it when we return.

    In the meantime, support our podcast, leave us a review in Apple Podcast or a rating on Spotify, and join our Patreon community.

  • 30 - Una chiacchierata con Andre di Mo Parlo | How do you learn Italian with a language co-pilot?

    How do you learn Italian with a language co-pilot?

    Language learning can be daunting, especially if you seek perfection.

    In today’s episode, we look at another way of learning Italian with the help of a language co-pilot.

    That’s where Andre comes in.

    Born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico, her love for music and singing led her to unknowingly teach herself English at the age of six and sparked her curiosity for other languages.

    When she turned 18, she decided to do her first solo trip to Florence. Little did she expect that this will change her life in a massive way. Since then, she has met countless frustrated students who feel like they have no talent for learning languages.

    Because of this, she created an easy, fun, and empowering method called, co-piloting.

    Listen NOW to our conversation and learn about Mo Parlo and what it means to be a language co-pilot.

    ---
