Publisher's Summary
Take your Italian to the next level and further your fluency with Paul’s simple, relaxed approach and 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 help you to you build on your existing Italian knowledge and guide you through over 7 hours of essential tenses and grammar that you need to independently construct sentences and feel confident speaking Italian in a variety of scenarios. Just listen, interact, and learn wherever you are. This course also contains a handy downloadable booklet to help you revise and reinforce your learning.
Next Steps is an intermediate course, for non-beginners, which follows on from the Learn Italian with Paul Noble for Beginners – Complete Course.
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.
To continue your language learning journey once you’ve completed this course, download Learn with Paul Noble Complete courses in a variety of languages: Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin Chinese.

Waste of Money If You Did Previous Courses
I was sorely disappointed with this course. I completed the first four courses, which was reasonable, but found that this course essentially repeated the same material, with a small amount of new material near the end. There are far better and engaging materials online, Based on experience, this course will not at all prepare you for a trip to Italy. I thought it would be a good refresher but was mislead by the Next Steps title. Poor effort Mr Noble.

Easiest way to learn Italian
I’ve tried a few apps and books and Paul is the best for helping you to remember everything well after you’ve learnt it. Especially how plurals, masculine feminine etc. I wish there was another book following this.

Great method but the booklet is useless
I think the audio lessons are great. I purchased the first three and was really looking forward to this Next Step. I learn best when I can reinforce what I hear with reading and writing ... the booklet (PDF) is useless (very little content for a 7 hour course)!

Best used as a sleep aid.
a couple of new ideas were presented. over and over and over again. I recommend listening at 130 to 150% speed. the combination of Paul Nobles silky smooth voice and the long long gaps before the Italian translation can help almost anyone fall asleep.

Best Resource I have Used
I've been trying to learn Italian on and off for many years and always ended up discouraged by not catching on to the lessons and concepts that were presented. This course was completely different. They did a phenomenal job at re-introducing terms, phrases, and sentences throughout the course that felt very natural and helped with memorizing. I always felt that unless I was asked specifically "Where is the cat?" and gave the appropriate response, that's about as far as I could go with that conversation or sentence because the other courses would jump to an unrelated sentence about flying. This course does a great job of bringing concepts up and reintroducing them later on in a way that allows you to remember how and why you're sentences are constructed as such. Not just: remember this sentence, next remember this sentence, and finally remember that sentence.... end course.

Just OK
This course does a decent job of getting you to understand the basics for a lot of Italian grammar and some vocab. Because it is an audio book, I would have liked to see the author spell out some of the words so that I can better understand the language and how different forms of a word would be pronounced. I also would have liked some opportunities to try translating some spoken Italian phrases into English. Still, this course is pretty good at what it aims to do and if you liked the previous course in the series, this one is more of the same and you should know what to expect.

Straight to the meat and potatoes
I've been learning Italian for a year IN ITALY and honestly got a bit stuck with expressing myself the way I really want to. Since I know a bit of Italian but have a hard time communicating, this course helped me to get straight into communicating with real people using real, every day speech. It's the real "meat and potatoes" communication that I hear daily but can't translate in my head.
Mr. Noble teaches how ITALIANS say certain things which is imperative to not getting stuck by trying to translate word-for-word using expressions you'd use in your own native language. These colloquial phrases and styles of speech have helped me immensely and I've been able to immediately put it to good use in my everyday life - in Italy. Many thanks!

Great course. Couldn't access PDF.
I love all of the Paul Noble Italian courses, however, it was not easy to find the accompanying PDF booklet. it was not automatically downloaded to my library. After sever minutes of frustration, I simply went to the Audible website on my desktop, and there was the link to download the PDF. I then emailed it to myself and downloaded to my phone. The mobile app is not clear as to how to access the PDF. Other than that, love this course!!

Amazing learning like always with Paul Noble
Paul Is the person to look to when one thing to learn a new language (from those available from him). No with the Next Steps extension one becomes much much better equipped on what I would call a level one and two combined (for Increased fluency I then proceed with Pimsleur, normally starting at Level 2 - until level 3 normally existing here at Audible at a convenient price)
Let me say this: Paul Nobel is unmissable and irreplaceable by any other method I have heard of. This is like a private tutor teaching you the fundamentals of the language in a oral, permanent dialogue, context. You will not only start speaking, you will also apprehend all the gramar almost without noticing it!!!
I am fluent in PT and EN, and by now have revised my French with Paul and fully learned Spanish with Paul + Pimsleur, to finally have just finished the two audiobooks by Paul in Italian (will proceed in this with Pimsleur). It is amazing to see our excellent progress as we go through the dialogues to test our learning at the final part of each audiobook. What are you waiting for to learn languages in a matter of some weeks. Look no further and above all ... hurry up and start!!!!

Excellent as expected
I just wanted to put a simple review on for this Audio book, as I bought and followed the beginner course in Italian from Paul Noble and was amazed by the results, when I came to look at the follow up course there were not many reviews on to help me decide. I bought it anyway and I am please to report it is an excellent and enjoyable follow up course, I can heartily recommend it! I am hoping that Paul will continue with the series in the future.

Very good follow-up course, but could be improved
The key aspect which I like about Paul Noble's language tuition techniques is that they work with the brain's memory and as a result the majority of their content is retained on first listen; whereas, I for one forget most of the content of other language courses. However, I agree with other reviews that there is a lack of clarity of pronunciation at certain times by the Italian lady which meant I had to keep re-listening to those parts.
One other point I wish to share is that personally I really don't like the use of Italianised English words such as "il weekend" rather than "il fine settimana"; Italian is such beautiful language which for me is an important motivation factor to learn it.

Excellent addition to the original series
I was a big fan of the original series, as Paul teaches in a way which is accessible, not intimidating and extremely useful as he unlocks conversational Italian that can be used in everyday life immediately. I now live in Italy and use this book alongside my face-to-face Italian lessons, it's amazing the depth of the content that this book covers, especially given its simple approach. I would highly recommend this book, but you MUST cover the first three as this book very much follows on from those. A++

Interesting approach
I really felt like I was making progress while listening to this course. It's a good approach and inevitably leaves you wanting another more advanced book, but like so many other language series they seem more interested in expanding the range rather going into intermediate territory.

It's good value.
For the price - it's good value but it's not as engaging as other, well known audio courses.

Five stars all round
All of Paul Nobles language coach audiobooks are great. I wholeheartedly recommend this one.
However you should listen to the basic courses first. Obviamente.

Really excellent course, I just wish there was more! But really happy to have covered so much, and definitely feel it's increased my confidence to speak the language.
