Story
Hi friends, my name is Glenda, and teaching foreign languages is my passion! There are a lot of different ways to learn a language—studying books, taking a class, or even watching foreign movies. But I’m an auditory learner. I have to hear and repeat the language to make it stick. In fact, when I was a teenager taking Italian classes, I would often make my own (cassette) recordings and study for my tests by listening to them.

Story
The tellers of Greek myths—historically men—have routinely sidelined the female characters. When they do take a larger role, women are often portrayed as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil—like Pandora, the woman of eternal scorn and damnation whose curiosity is tasked with causing all the world’s suffering and wickedness when she opened that forbidden box. But, as Natalie Haynes reveals, in ancient Greek myths there was no box. It was a jar . . . which is far more likely to tip over.

Story
For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime's quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

OK to refresh your Italian?
Any additional comments?
I found this useful to rather fast refresh the little Italian I know. Knowing some it is a bit slow here and there, but combining normal speech, slowly pronouncing an breaking down in syllables is very good for understanding and pronunciation. Explanations are mostly good and well distributed through the lessons, words, some grammar etc.
If you know some Italian, some breakdowns of the more simple words are repeated to often, and it's completely unnecessary to explain buena fortuna in every lesson! But one just uses these "pauses" to repeat the last sentences etc.
The English is rather amusing here and there both what is said and the pronunciation, but it's not an English course! And you learn well pronounced Italian.

Definitely good as a review.
This is a couple hour review of key and core phrases in Italian, with very little grammar although they do walk you through what each word in a phrase means. Definitely this is first class for me: a review of basic Italian as I get ready for a trip. I've known a few thousand words of Spanish my whole adult life, and I've studied amateur French and Italian on and off. This is "30 lessons" but obviously each lesson is just 2 or 3 minutes long. Typical: "Vorrei fare una prenotazione per questa sera" I would like to make a reservation for this evening [at a restaurant.] If you don't know the first word word of Italian (or Spanish) my guess would be all these dozens of rapid fire phrases for two hours would be hard to really absorb and lock down. In that case (coming from a cold start) I always recommend Pimsleur, which is kind of slow and premium priced but the first 30 lessons of Pimsleur (=15 hours) ruthlessly and repetitively hammer about 10 words per half hour into your head like it or not. But back to the product under review: as a review audio course if you have basic kind of initial familiarity I can endorse this Survival Phrases course. Note there are two "volumes" each about 2.5 hrs.

Worked for me
This really did teach me almost everything I needed to know to spend three weeks in Italy. The phrases "is there a ______ near here?" and "Where is the_____?" and "How much does this/that cost?" and all of the pleases, thank yous, and good evenings were the most helpful. Most of the other lessons were used occasionally and helped me to understand the responses by training my ear to catch what people are saying. The first few listens I could barely identify individual words. This tutorial was well worth the time and money.
Also note that not "everybody" speaks English in Italy. Our first morning at our first hotel near the Florence Airport met with a hotel desk attendant who didn't speak a word of English. I was able to ask her where I could buy a bus ticket and find a bus stop nearby and ask for a restaurant recommendation. Yay! Highly recommended if you are traveling around by train and bus sans tour group. You will need something more if you are conducting business.

Great Quick Learn for travel
Would you consider the audio edition of Learn Italian - Survival Phrases Italian, Volume 1 to be better than the print version?
I don't know but probably, since you can hear the phrases pronounced!
Any additional comments?
This audiobook moves at just the right pace and is pretty fun. It probably helps to have a little knowledge of Italian and/or a phrasebook handy so you can also see the words and phrases. For just a few hours of recording, this was pretty comprehensive of what you need to know to survive traveling in Italy, and my husband and I got around Rome for 8 days just fine after listening to this audiobook before we left.

Great information and pronunciation but…
… this PDF seems to be outdated as it doesn’t match the verbal lessons well in the Italian version. In fact, it seems the whole section for ordering food is missing. Otherwise, this and similar languages in the series are all great to give us basic survival phrases when traveling.
