Smart easy and enjoyable way to fluent Italian

Very well prepared and based on real and natural way of learning. Very entertaining stories with just enough real conversational Italiane.
Highly recommend

Annoying background noise

The stories are excellent and captivatingl. I enjoy listening to the stories and it made learning easy. Unfortunately there is a little bell or clicking in the background that caught my attention. As my proficiency with the language improved, I could hear the background noise more and more. This made it a little bit more difficult for me to listen to the stories repeatedly I’ve moved on to reading books and speaking

Hilariously Funny Stories Clearly Enunciated Italian

Too bad there's not a follow-up volume. I have the hardcopy and Audible, a good combination for improving my Italian. I love the author's Italian accent speaking English. She's the real deal and a good instructor. Her vocabulary lists following each story are accompanied with side-bar comments on usage that are very helpful. 11 points out of 10.

Fun adult stories for later beginner/intermediate

I enjoyed these stories. I imagined they were all true stories that happened to the author. although her accent is very thick, I could understand her well in both Italian and English and I appreciated her ability to slow her Italian speech down to the level that an intermediate speaker/listener had little trouble following the story. The vocabulary was very useful and I loved how the author/ narrator explains things. Some people may be offended by some of the more colorful language, but I felt it was funny and made the stories more realistic. I plan to listen to all of the stories again now that I have increased my vocabulary some and then look to see if Ms. Corvino has published anything else.

Hilarious and engaging

I find this to be interesting to listen to and very educational if you are trying to learn Italian! It’s also unexpectedly funny and relevant.
