Sottofondo is a language-learning podcast designed to teach Italian passively. Each episode presents a short topic with English introduction, a pause, and Italian spoken by a native voice. The format is meant to be played in the background during daily activities like commuting, working out, or doing dishes. Listeners can repeat the Italian aloud during pauses if they want more active practice. The show focuses on effortless exposure rather than grammar study.
