Portrait of Stefano Lodola

Stefano Lodola

Linguist · Hyperpolyglot

Stefano Lodola is the founder of Think in Italian, an online platform dedicated to teaching the Italian language through innovative methods.

With a master's degree in industrial engineering and an MBA, and 12 languages under his belt, he combines a passion for languages with a strong background in business and technology.

The goal: effective, engaging learning materials that get you speaking, not just studying.

“We all master languages by listening and mimicking.”

That principle drives everything Stefano builds — from audio-first Italian lessons to the AI tutor inside SpeakTwice.

After nearly a decade teaching Italian online and translating from East-Asian languages, he launched SpeakTwice to bring the same listen-and-mimic method to anyone learning Italian.
