Publisher's Summary

With Paul Noble’s simple, relaxed approach you will learn in a way that suits you – without having to memorise long lists of words you won’t use, scribbling notes as you listen, or feeling frustrated. Instead, Paul will introduce you to the basics of the Italian language and guide you through over 13 hours of everyday scenarios – from simple situations like asking for directions and eating out to talking about yourself and how to master the different tenses – that are practical, fun, and applicable. Just listen, interact, and learn wherever you are.

Whatever your experience with languages, whether you’re an absolute beginner or someone with basic knowledge who wants to improve their ability, this is the course to get you speaking Italian quickly and confidently. 

A native-speaking Italian expert will help you to perfect your pronunciation as you progress through the course. You will learn a huge range of vocabulary in no time at all, and be able to quickly make your new knowledge work for you in a variety of everyday scenarios. A downloadable booklet is also included to use as a reference and revision tool.

Paul Noble left school unable to speak a language – having found that the traditional learning methods left him feeling ‘confused, incapable and unable to really say anything’. Determined that there must be a better way to learn, Paul spent years devising his own unique method of learning languages which cuts out all the grammar, all the memorisation, and all the stress. He began using his method to teach in his Language Institute and, thousands of students later, he prides himself on never having had a student fail.

This download contains the entire course – Parts 1, 2, and 3. To continue your language learning journey once you’ve completed this course, download Next Steps in Italian with Paul Noble for Intermediate Learners – Complete Course.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site.

Incredible way to start learning italian!

We're going to Italy for our honeymoon and I wanted to quickly pick up some Italian so I could surprise my wife with my 'fluency' once we landed. I came across Paul Noble's course and decided to give it a go (his accent was a big help, sounded like a friendly teacher). well, by the 36th chapter (the rapid fire 'test' of all the things you learnt throughout the course) I barely had to pause the audiobook to answer them all.

The course is very well structured. It is repetitive, but you'll see that this is actually REALLY helpful. for remembering the content.

100% would recommend this audiobook and anything else by Paul Noble. Now I'm going to give the advanced Italian course a try :)

Absolutely fantastic.

I’ve done all 3 of his books and they are the best. He makes learning enjoyable and easy. I wish there were more books to continue with as every other Italian language book I’ve downloaded so far is awful.

Helpful, clear and easy

I finsh the audio in 3 or 4 times, sometimes I can listen to 3 hours without breaking. It’s fascinating to learn with this audio! So much worth learning. With the same amount of time spending, i can tell it’s a hell lot better than Duolingo. It gets you understand the transformation of words and get to speak all the conversations covered! And you don’t even feel you are studying!! Millie grazie!

Fantastic

13 hours of content which I grabbed for 1 token, can now make basic sentences in Italian and have been set up with simple grammar rules which will allow me to use new terms easily!

Excellent course, well presented and very effective.

A very good course that was a great adjunct to my use of Duolingo and private lessons face to face with a teacher. All three methods are affective and use different teaching styles that work exceptionally well together. About to begin Paul Noble's next book in this series.

Never thought I’d learn Italian so easily!

I wish this book would never end! I repeated every chapter before moving onto the next to ensure it stuck and I’m so happy with everything I’ve learned so far! I’ve already recommended this audible book to so many people 😅

Easy to learn and remember language course

Very much in the style of Michel Thomas's learning method Paul Noble uses simple phrases that are highly repeated utilising the Spaced Repetition method well known to enhance the ability for long term remembering of subject material. I've been learning Italian on and off for the past few years and this course had me remembering and speaking useful phrases very quickly. Although I already had a good grasp of romance language structure and their verb conjugations I'm sure a beginner will still pick up the simple sentences and create their own. I'll certainly keep this at the top of my grab bag of language learning tools.

Mostly Great

Having studied a little in the past, I was able to follow this pretty well, but I do think Paul's insistence on sticking with the formal third person creates confusion. However, a pretty concise overview well worth listening to.
