ebooks Download

In just 75 minutes you can learn enough Italian to get by on your vacation! Elisabeth Smith has used her wide teaching experience to write a fun audio course that teaches you enough Italian to communicate all your basic needs. The course comes on one 75-minute CD and teaches only the essential words and phrases, which are extended by the use of body language. An accompanying 16-page booklet lists the words and phrases taught on the recording. The action takes place during a flight from London to Italy. Following a challenge from the passenger in the next seat to her, Elisabeth Smith agrees to teach him enough Italian to be able to get around on his vacation. The dialogue is broken up by in-flight announcements, meals and drinks being served and even some turbulence, making for an engaging and fun learning experience.

I was going to Italy for first time and bought various "learn Italian" resources. I popped this in CD player in the car and listened on way to and from work. It was not annoying or boring like some others. It was a cute little "play act" that made the words stick with me. You aren't going to learn extensive vocabulary or have conversations--but some key words for travel/tourist will stick with you.

It is the only Class I've ever found that teaches really useful phrases and words to function in a different country. Other classes go into way to much detail and or do many words not related to basic travel needs. I have Italian, French and Spanish. it is done in a conversational, easy to follow way. The pronunciation of words and phrases are repeated, yet not rushed. it's really excellent! I recommend it to everyone I know !!!

This should be used as practice for listening, but not solely for learning. There is no opportunity to pause and repeat, and moves quickly for a new beginner in the Italian language.
