Summary

Collins makes language learning fun, fast and flexible. Pick up the essentials of the Italian language with this easy-to-use audio introduction. Covering everything from finding your way to talking about yourself, Collins 40-minute audio can help you learn short and simple phrases quickly by just listening and repeating.

Collins Gem Phrase Books are designed for ease of use, with practical, flexible phrases that can be adapted to suit the needs of the traveller. But often, it’s not the question that’s the problem, it’s the reply. This downloadable audio file for your Audible-compatible mp3 player (including your iPod) addresses this problem.

Along with the key phrases you need to get by – simple, to-the-point and polite – the audio file gives you an idea of what the shopkeeper, the waiter, or the passer-by you ask directions from may say to you.

This volume uses this unique approach to teach the listener Italian quickly and effectively.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A great intro to Italian

Very useful for learning the basics quickly but efficiently. This is a good pronunciation supplement to a phrasebook.

Perfect for getting around

So many language lessons teach you too much detail. I was just looking to be able to go shopping, find my way around and understand a little more. This was the perfect fit. It gave us all more confidence including the children

Italian made easy

Where does Italian in 40 Minutes rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is one of the best audio books I have listened to so far, I have other language course audio books but I really felt that I could construct a sentence right after this one. I feel more confident now with my Italian.

If you’ve listened to books by Collins before, how does this one compare?

I haven't listened to another Collins book.

Which character – as performed by Collins – was your favourite?

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

N/a

Any additional comments?

I got audible so that I could get language and lifestyle books. I have been very happy with my choice.

Great for listening to words spoken in Italian

Great for listening to words spoken in Italian to help with pronunction and sound. Recommended if you want to be able to communicate effectively whilst in vacation in Italy
