De: Glenda Greco

Narrado por: Shea Grounds

Want to expand your Italian vocabulary with almost no effort? Then keep reading.

Are you planning a trip to a Italy? Or sharpening your skills for work? Just press play on this audiobook when you’re sleeping, meditating, or doing chores around the house.

Learn new vocabulary while actively listening, or passively while you’re doing other things.

This audiobook contains:

• More than 1000 common Italian words and phrases
• More than four hours of original music (composed and performed by South African DJ and producer Spirante Beat) specifically to relax your mind

I'm sure your first question is: Can you actually learn a foreign language while you’re asleep? Well, according to a Swiss research study in 2014, the answer is unassailably, YES! In this study, a group of German speakers was given a list of unfamiliar Dutch words to study. Half were instructed to get some sleep, while they listened to long lists of Dutch words and translations. The other half was instructed to stay awake. Four hours later, they were tested and the group that listened while they slept had significantly higher recall. The study concluded that people can indeed absorb new information passively during non-REM sleep - which is the deep sleep we get in the first few hours of the night.

This audiobook is divided into six chapters, each with different kinds of vocabulary, and with different music. Choose a different chapter each night, or loop the audiobook to have a continuous stream. Some listeners - those with more experience with the foreign language - have reported that these recordings allow them to dream in that language!

Sit back, relax, enjoy and LEARN!

Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

Good but with some Pronunciation problems

I think it’s good. But clearly the speaker is not native and has difficulty pronouncing the R and putting some accents in the right place.

Great for auditory learner

I'm currently trying to learn Spanish and was told that Italian and Spanish are similar, so here I am...trying to pick up Italian as well. I really like how calm the background music and narration is. Very soothing for bedtime. Though I don't play it while I sleep I would listen to it 30 minutes before going to bed and set a sleep timer on the app.

Good for sleeping but not learning

The science they reference regarding learning language while you sleep seems dubious. Italian words featured, as one of the few real reviews mentioned, are often bizarre and useless to new language learners. I was able to successfully sleep while listening to it - so at least they got that right.

Not native speaker - a lot of errors

I guess it’s OK for going over vocabulary. Person who narrates obviously is not Italian- for example pronounced cervello- servello. That’s pretty basic Italian. Also the music in the background is not loud enough. So the relaxation isn’t as good as it could be.

Osmosis doesn’t work

The claim that you will learn Italian in your sleep is false. I’ve listened to this audiobook for weeks and can’t recall anything beyond basic stuff I already knew.
