The Italian language is wonderful, so rich in nuances and expressiveness. It is the language of love: a sweet language, which cuddles word after word, without ever becoming authoritarian, but always turning to the heart. It is the language often used in the world of art, theatrical work and literature: a language of pleasure and passion, which expresses, word after word, moods and emotions. A language that gives happiness.

Wonderful and fun way to increase your vocabulary.
This Italian vocabulary builder is a great resource for both beginning and intermediate students.
In my case, I am an intermediate student who just finished both Michel Thomas Italian and all five Pimsleur Italian Levels. Now I need to increase my vocabulary and this book fits my needs perfectly.
One hint I would like to give fellow students is to first read the material BEFORE listening to it. In my personal experience, reading first can really help the learning process. Furthermore, I believe that listening to each phrase multiple times helps you to remember the phrase. Listening to it for just one time does not work for me. In addition, I recommend reading the passage out loud, thereby helping you memorize the phrase.
In addition, I would like to commend Lingo Mastery (the publishers of this book) for helping me out when I emailed them with a question.
Wonderful audio and a great accompanying PDF booklet make ths Audible book a great selection for any Italian language learner, beginner or advanced.

Excellent Italian lessons
This is an excellent collection of common Italian phrases and vocabulary that I can practice as I commute. Italian is an absolutely beautiful, flowing language that lends itself well to audiobooks and oral practice, rather than written study. These phrases give context to the most essential Italian vocabulary needed for basic communication.
I've very much enjoyed practicing my primitive Italian and improving my fluency. A huge benefit of this audiobook is that you can hear the inflection and cadence of the phrases, and not just try to sound out the word from the written text. The repeated exposure of these phrases, in this well-planned series of language audiobooks, is invaluable to picking up Italian itself.

The content is good but the method is MISERABLE
This is not an interactive lesson. This is a man giving you words then saying a phrase using the word. The words he uses don't build at all, it's just common words being thrown at you. What you get is helpful but it's about as helpful as someone reading a dictionary to you. If you are looking for interactive lessons as opposed to straight up repetition look elsewhere. If you are prepared for painstaking old school ben stein style lessons to learn useful words then this is a good fit.

Warning: you just have to be willing to put in the time and effort in order to get results. It's a book for self-disciplined people who can spend at least half an hour a day to listen and repeat to a whole myriad of sentences.

This is what I was looking for!
Memorizing words by learning with sentences is really effective. I got the free copy of this book last month and have been learning day by day. My Italian vocabulary is becoming richer and richer. There's also a low-speed version of every sentence, it's very useful for those who want to make dictations.
However, there are some mistakes in the reading. The order of each article is: Italian word - English word's meaning - Italian slow sentence that includes the word - Italian normal speed sentence - English meaning of that sentence. The narrator skips sometimes one of these steps above. But after all I still gave this book a 5-star review thanks to the idea and author's efforts.

Excellent resource for learning Italian!
I highly recommend this material to anyone devoted to becoming fluent in Italian. I not only listened to thousands of vocabulary words in meaningful context, but it also be exposed me to grammar, punctuation, structure, idioms, and so importantly, pronunciation. The phrases were interesting enough to hold my attention and will be useful in daily conversation. The recording is very high quality and consistent throughout, and Eduardo speaks clearly and crisply in both Italian and English. So far, this audio material has been the most helpful in my daily study of Italian. Had I started here two years ago I probably would be much further along.

Good choice of vocabulary
When it comes to learning language, the quality of input materials is the most important factor affecting the speed of learning. This audiobook is great at the beginning of Italian journey. It is great to listen in a car, but you should try (as stated in the book) to write down words or sentences that you have remembered - that way you get the most out of it.

Useless
Imagine an audio track that just reads out 2222 words sequentially, without pause, and expects you to just remember them all.
That's what this is.
There are so-called 'context' sentences.
These context sentences are made up of words and grammar that you don't know yet.
That makes them useless.
Just like this waste of money.

Perfetto!
I wanted an audbook, aimed at intermediate level learners, to help me build a good level of Italian vocabulary in a list, with context. I did not want details on grammar, or an Italian course. Just vocabulary. This audiobook is close to what I wanted. However many sentences are longer than is either necessary or helpful. In fact in some cases two sentences are given. This is an irritation when listening. Also the English parts are read in American English not UK English but that's not too irritating.

Useful as Vocabulary Builder
As others have said, downsides include:
- the American English accent of the reader when reading the English part (his Italian pronunciation was of course fine)
- mis-numbering of many words
However, provided you start with a reasonable understanding of Italian, this will be very helpful in building a better vocabulary. If you don't have a basic understanding it will be very off-putting, but you can always save it for later.
It is a pity that the opportunity was lost of reading out the word numbers in Italian.
Finally, I lied about the quality of the story in the star ratings. The story was of course non-existent, but it seems churlish to spoil the rating because of Audible's dire rating system!

Overall great resource for learning vocabulary
This is an excellent resource to learn new vocabulary and go over vocabulary you already know. It divides the words into categories (example: adjectives or verbs) and lists each word with a sentence using the word in context. It is especially useful that Edoardo narrates the sentence slowly the first time, then normal speed the second time. The best way to use this book is to follow along with the attached PDF file and note all new words. My method is to write down the provided sentence while listening to the audio, and then create my own sentences using the word to make sure I really understand it. Only thing I would change is to have multiple example sentences provided, in case the first sentence didn't clear it up for me.
I would be interested if they did a similar book with conjugations, as I want to study this in the same manner. I think explaining the conjugation structure, then providing example sentences in context would be great for learning conjugation.
Overall, I am very happy to add this to my Italian learning resources and hope to see the other books they have on offer.

Useful practice for Italian
I have both the audio book and the softback book and find it useful to read and listen at the same time. I have only recently started learning Italian but I am finding that listening is an important skill that is aided by audio books. That said, the narrator does get a tad annoying when he gets the number of the sentence wrong but, that's just a minor irritation.

Very Useful
The technique is to expand vocabulary. The specifics of the language are outlined and then the lessons begin.

it's very helpful
if you already know a bit of italian and need a book that gives you a larger base of words, this is quite good

Enjoyable and instructive
Extremely helpful. In addition to increasing my vocabulary this audio showed me how to use it in various situations. It was very clever in re-using new words in different context so that one didn’t just hear the new words once. I slowed down the readings on the first listening and repeated the phrases. Now I am hearing them in real time. To my delight I am now able to speak sentences automatically. Thank you Lingo Mastery. I look forward to another Vocabulary Builder.
PS: I noticed a pleasant sense of humour behind some of the sentences and a love of animals. I guess one can’t form sentences without showing something of one’s personality!
