Summary
Real Italian people don’t speak like your textbook…so it’s no wonder you feel unprepared when it’s your turn to speak! Try the StoryLearning method, and dive into a real-world, gripping drama between six characters that helps you learn authentic spoken Italian in the process.
Created by Olly Richards, internationally-renowned language teacher and author, this proven method of the immersive experience not only entertains, it gives you the skills to master realistic encounters in shops, cafés, and other, everyday scenarios! In this story, two friends, Alice and Nina, arrive in Rome for what they think will be a relaxing vacation exploring the city. Things, however, take an unexpected turn when they discover some very valuable paintings in one of Rome’s antique markets....
Whether you’re learning the Italian of Florence, Milan, Roman, Naples or even your local Italian-speaking community, you’ll learn to speak naturally wherever you go.
Best of all, you’ll be able to handle new scenarios with both ease and confidence!
“I love Olly’s work - and you will too!” (Barbara Oakley, PhD, Author of New York Times best seller A Mind for Numbers)
Here’s what you’ll get:
A. 101 Italian conversations with over 15,000 words of dialogue — an unparalleled resource that will immerse you in Italian at a level you can easily understand and reproduce.
B. Expressions that real people use on the street. You’ll sound more authentic when you speak and make Italian-speaking friends more easily.
C. Situational Italian dialogues that help you thrive in typical daily circumstances, so meeting people and making everyday arrangements will become second nature.
D. Conversations that are carefully written to be accessible for beginners (A2-B1 on the CEFR), so you can speak confidently, even with strangers.
E. Each conversation is limited to around 15 lines of dialogue (150 words) to help you master the expressions more quickly, and keep you moving toward the finish line.

Pleased
Although it's not the kind of story I'd read in English, I really enjoyed it, and felt a huge sense of achievement having read a book in Italian, being a beginner. The whole book is cleverly structured, it being a dialogue is great for simplicity of language, and the narrator is brilliant. Using a kindle helped for when I wanted a quick look-up for vocabulary. I am also using other learning methods, and with this, I could really notice my improvement. thanks to all involved.

No character differentiations
According to the grammar, the two main protagonists of the story are supposed to be female yet they are narrated by two male voices. Not only that, the rest of the cast are read by the two same voices. I wouldn't have thought that to have each character read by a different person would add to much to the production costs and would have made for a more enjoyable and productive listening experience.

Doesn't really work for me as an Audio Book
I have done several Italian audio books before, where the the audio book has been created with the user in mind - including English and Italian translations. This title has been created without the thought required to make it actually work as an audio book.
I messaged the publishers to advise that a story which is 100% in Italian, with no translations wasn't really much use as a learning tool, I was was simply listening to Italian speakers, with little understanding, or learning... purely hearing words I already know.
I asked if there was an accompanying PDF or if I was misunderstanding anything.
Their response was:
"We recommend picking up the text version as well so that you can read along.
This makes a big difference!"
I always do my Italian on the go, so I found this not fit for purpose... or at least, this should be clearly highlighted ahead of purchase so I knew there was the need for another purchase.
In my opinion, this audio book should be better designed, and at least include the translations in English, so we can build our knowledge quicker.
I have returned this title.
