This is how learning languages should be
Very happy! I really wanted to learn enough to get by in Italy and recognise words i hear. You're basically learning like u did with your first language but not childish. You have to really understand language and learning to put this lesson together. Pauses are good length! I can do this in the car and while washing up. I actually learnt a bit about pronouncing letters and numbers and the c and r sounds before this at a class ...yrs ago..which i managed to recall and link in with this learning so i hadnt wasted that as i thought. i could have managed perfectly fine without prior knowlrdge though.

Good for learning in the car. Some repetition.
Nicely narrated, easy to understand. Good timing so you can try the exercises yourself. Some of it was a bit repetitive but I guess that's what we need to help us remember it.

Best learning experience ever
I'm usually good with languages but this method of learning, by simple repetition of likely phrases in different sentences, is phenomenally useful and quick. I started playing it as I got on the plane and by the time I landed, had most of the vocabulary I needed for my four-day stay. A perfect method for learning essential phrases.

Definitely sinks in
First time trying a language audiobook and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The repetition of words and phrases definitely helped to keep it fresh in my mind and allow it to gradually sink in. Now that I have some basics I’ll be going to the next book

Useful!
I really liked it. It helps you with the most difficult part of a language - actually generating the sentence in a dialogue.
I think it works even better if you are already somewhat familiar with the language at an early stage. It definitely is what the title says...essential Italian that will help you have a very basic conversation with the locals if you travel there. I am excited to listen to the rest of the series.

not enough detail
too much emphasis on particular phrases/words but he teaches them well. I know it was a short course but I feel like I've only 5 phrases and he could have done with a few classic tourist phrases - I'm looking for;. where is etc

Fantastico!
Having followed all of Paul’s Iatlian Languages Coures i can speak and get by better than ever. Not intended for advanced learners but to give travellers a good basis if understanding to form their own sentences and to understand verb structures and tenses.
I failed French in school and was convinced i couldnt master languages. Used Pauls French audible to practice that too and my command id now better than after 3 years in high school!
I would strongly recommend.

Simple, useful, well taught
I LOVED this audiobook. I have learned - and retained - this learning. Handy phrases about ordering and reservations at hotels really useful. I am off to purchase the longer course!
