Very effective!

Great format. Was easy to understand and retain. I am confident in introducing myself in Italian.

Off to Italy

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it was so easy to remember the words and pronounce them correctly.

What did you like best about this story?

they made it easy to learn

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It's not a story. It's a lesson in learning a language

Any additional comments?

It really helps you want to keep listening to it over and over again.

Glacially slow and condescending

What would have made Learn Italian with Innovative Language's Proven Language System - Level 3: Beginner Italian better?

There is very little return on the time invested in this program. They could have packed an enormous amount more into the course given how long it is.

What was most disappointing about Innovative Language Learning’s story?

The pace of learning is so incredibly slow and it is so repetitive that I would recommend not listening to this when driving lest you fall asleep from the boredom. It might be excusable if the matter being repeated was difficult or useful, but he keeps repeating unbelievably simple words you would have picked up in 5 minutes. At the end of this course you have almost no vocabulary at all and only a tiny bit of grammar.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator talks in a condescending fashion, as if the listener is a small child who needs to be spoken to very slowly and quietly. His voice is monotonous and soporific and very quickly becomes irritating.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I want to find something positive to say but I really can't.

Any additional comments?

Take my advice and get the Michel Thomas Italian series instead. For a similar investment of time you will come away with a vastly greater vocabulary, a better grasp of grammar and loads more confidence in your ability to speak the language.
