Cost

5 lessons is quite few in number and works out quite costly but the method is sound.

Easy effective way to learn by ear.

I found this easy, and it works . I've progressed to Level 1 lessons 11 and so far remembered 95% just by listening in my car for about 6 hours a week . I wasn't interested in the reading lessons ( which are short and only 2 ) so skipped past these .

Conversational italian

This a course for learning spoken italian. I really like it because it involves you in conversations that are spoken at a realistic speed. They concentrate on pronunciation and developing a good accent. It is easy to use and is well planned. I have now purchased the next book.

PRECISE AND CLEAR TRANSLATION

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would . I have tried a few online Italian learning sites and this is by far the best one. It is very clear and interactive conversation is brilliant.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Italian Level 1 Lessons 6-10?

The most memorable part is when I get the whole conversation right. Io vorrei mangiare qualcosa adesso. i.e. I would like something to eat now.

Have you listened to any of Pimsleur’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Only lesson 1 to 5. which I cannot really compare as it is basic and I new the very basic as my daughter lives in Italy. My problem is having a conversation with people and understanding and giving the right reply.. I am slowly getting there since having started the Pimsleur Lesson.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The Italian Job

Any additional comments?

I have found your books have helped me much more than any other online learning sites. I can now ask somebody what they would like to eat or drink in Italian and also I could now get taxi from the airport and be able to tell them where to take me. The idea of just doing half hour a day I thinks works very well as you are not overloading your brain and it seems to improve your memory. Thanks Pimsleur.

Easy to learn

I enjoyed this program. I have already learned the basis to be polite in my first Italian city. I would just need few seconds more to repeat. Overall just Great!!

Very dated, expensive

What disappointed you about Italian Level 1 Lessons 6-10?

Pimsleur language courses have somehow or other got good reviews everywhere - on the basis of this segment of the Italian course, I have no idea why.

The entire course consists of the learner playing the part of a man trying to pull a "young woman", constantly begging her to drink "something" or eat "something" with him "NOW" or at all times of day and night.

This is simply not useful! God help anyone who expects this to be useful on a holiday to Italy, unless you especially want to come across as a pervert.

The material doesn't seem to have been updated since it was first published - so you would expect this to be available at a knock-down price - but it's actually hugely expensive as you need 6 different volumes to complete even the first level. I strongly recommend you try more modern and better priced alternatives like the Paul Noble course (much better value and much less likely to get you arrested) and Rocket Italian.

Simon & Schuster are making money out of old rope on this product and I would avoid it.

Would you ever listen to anything by Pimsleur again?

On the basis of this, no I wouldn't bother with any other Pimsleur courses.
