Not possible behind the wheel

This recording contains many useful Italian words and phrases, but rather than teaching you how to say them, Mark Frobose and his native speaker simply give them to you in long laundry lists, allowing you no time to assimilate anything. Mark keeps barking, "Remember to repeat, people!" and comes off as vaguely condescending. It's a shame, because the words and phrases contained in this audiobook were some of the most potentially useful I might have learned. Since I can only listen in the car, I thought this audiobook would be perfect, but be prepared instead to pause and rewind far more than I find safe behind the wheel.

The best!

I have all the Mark Frobose audios. This two part series is the best, from the point of production. It is the most professionally done. It is also fast paced and advanced. Don’t hesitate to let this help you if you have been studying rules and have had your head in Italian language textbooks. You will benefit from all his audios, but, as an intermediate student who has been learning Italian for a while now, I can say you will be very happy you bought this book.
