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.

Piano piano si va lontano

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.
