Resumen del Editor

Do you know what the hardest thing for an Italian learner is? Finding the proper learning material that they can handle...which is precisely the reason we’ve created this book!

Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the learner and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes. It's not entertaining, useful, or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning!

We have compiled 20 easy-listening, compelling, and fun stories to allow you to expand your vocabulary and give you the tools to improve your grasp of the wonderful Italian language.

How Italian Short Stories for Beginners works:

• Each story will involve an important lesson of the tools in the Italian language (verbs, adjectives, tense, giving directions, and more), involving an interesting and entertaining story with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations.
• The summaries follow a synopsis in Italian and in English of what you just heard, both to review the lesson and for you to see if you understood what the tale was about.
• At the end of those summaries, you'll be provided with a list of the most relevant vocabulary involved in the lesson, as well as slang and sayings that you may not have understood at first glance!
• Finally, you'll be provided with a set of tricky questions in Italian, providing you with the chance to prove that you learned something in the story. Don't worry if you don't know the answer to any - we will provide them immediately after, but no cheating!

So look no further! Pick up your copy of Italian Short Stories for Beginners, and start learning Italian right now!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Effective way to learn

I like the process of hearing a story, reviewing the vocabulary and grasping the context . Eagerly awaiting the next book!

This will definitely help me with my new language skills!

Great for car rides

I have tried a number of Italian audiobooks and in my opinion this is one of the best ones to really start to train your ear. The book will read you the short story in a nice clear voice. It will then summarize the story in Italian and then summarize it in English. And then gives you a long list of vocabulary words which it will repeat a couple of times and then into the chapter with a brief quiz of the material. I feel like this audiobook has really helped increase my vocabulary and also my ability to hear the language and start to pick out the words and phrases that I can understand.

Great way to learn for beginners!

I really enjoyed the stories in this book, and found that by listening to them over and over, I began to more easily pick out words and phrases to strengthen my (admittedly weak) Italian. Such a great idea!

A Great Next Step

I've been learning Italian with Lingo Mastery - Italian Vocabulary Builder so I thought I'd give this book a shot. Although I'm not quite fluent after only two months of learning, I was able to follow the stories in this book easier than I thought. I found having this book is helping me with the other. If you're trying to learn Italian then this book will be a good thing to get. It really helps to hear in context what you're learning. The narration is well done.

Fast way to learn Italian.

I love the stories in this book. They are carefully selected to be engaging, yet informative. The whole point is to use common words in the Italian language within a fun context. Although, I had a little bit of Italian knowledge (still beginner level though), this book served as a great resource for improving my comprehension, especially through the exercises.
This is a very useful and interesting book.

Fun way to learn Italian vocabulary and grammar

I got this audible for free with another Italian audio program. The other program is for beginners of the Italian language. I got them both free in exchange for an honest review. Concerning this audible, without a doubt, I enjoyed learning Italian with these short stories. What I like most is that I am learning Italian grammar and Italian vocabulary in a fun way - which is by listening to stories. Do not forget to do the short quizzes to test your progress and reinforce all of the Italian you will be learning from these short stories.

Much helpful in speaking full sentences.

I recommend it to people, who have already learnt some vocabulary. I find it easier and more fun to listen few times to the same story than to repeat just unconnected sentences. You can grow your vocabulary, but you can also memorize the structures and so improve fluency. The stories are not too long, so you won't get bored. When you already remember what is it about, you can focus on words and expressions. Good materials.

Really Good

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

This was a really good book, especially for people who are intermediate learners of Italian as it does assume that you have some level of understanding. I particularly liked the vocabulary sections. The stores themselves are fun and varied and I quite enjoyed it.

Not That Easy for Beginners

Very useful but not for early beginners. More at the A2 level in European system of language ability. Audio is clear and stories are engaging. My only complaint is that the Audible "Chapter" divisions do NOT match the book's chapters AT ALL. For example, book Chapter 9 "La Gioconda" is found at Chapter 38 on the Audible chapter listing. It would be great if the Audible chapters had headings or titles since the vocabulary list, the Italian and English summaries of the stories, and the questions after the story are all listed as separate Chapters. Slowly working my way thru and writing Audible Chapter number in my book for future study. Kind of a pain.
