History 

________________________________________________________________________

Play Learn Italian is a labour of love by Xavier Russo, a long-time student of the Italian language.

I started learning Italian in grade 2, and studied it all through school and at university. Since then, I've tried to keep my skills up with conversation class ... although I could always use more practice! I've long believed that the interactive nature of computer games can enrich the learning experience, so this is my little experiment to help improve the process of learning Italian. 

The website was launched in October 2007. It was initially called Gioca Impara, but was re-branded as Play Learn Italian in December 2007.
