Updates Required

Very good program overall.
However, I don’t think many people camp anymore or reserve hotel rooms without a bathroom. The program should be updated to include airport situations and phone and texting scenarios.

Best Audio Book to Learn Languages

I’ve tried quite a few audio books to learn basic Italian but this is the only audible book which made it possible for me to start to converse in the language. I ‘m looking forward to listening to Next Steps in Italian and hope it’s as good as this one.

Wish the conversations were a bit more varied

The learning method was great (though I find 1.5 x listening to sound more natural). The phrases and discussions seemed a little odd, but maybe it gets better with the “next” part of the series. Otherwise, pretty great!

Faulty audio

I downloaded the audio multiple times, but it never played correctly. It had muted parts and repeated bits. Very irritating.
The content itself must be great. I tried other languages by Paul noble and they were great

Great beginner course - excellent for travel

I found the method very efficient and I enjoyed the tips (tomato, mosquito, pluto etc) in forming the different tenses. It includes pretty much everything you need to know if you plan a journey to Italy. I found the narrative voice a bit to relaxing :). I also adjusted the speed to 1.2 or 1.3, as the pace was a bit too slow. There are a lot of repetitions but I guess this is how the vocabulary sticks. Overall, a good investment, well worth the 1 credit for the complete course.

Excellent study material

Plenty of repetition. Enough to make your travelling easy in Italy. Enough for basic conversions.
