Good Starter Course
Reviewed: 03-04-24
This course introduces you to Italian by giving you some essential tourist vocabulary and enough grammar to construct some simple sentences of the kind you might really need: the usual, such as introductions, reserving rooms and tables, seeing a doctor, etc. I like Paul Noble's courses because he uses spaced repetition to drill the basics into your head and his way of building sentences is very intuitive--I wish more language programs used his method of teaching sentence building. On a European scale, this course takes you a good way into level 1A. It's a beachhead into the language, basically, which will allow you to go farther with a good foundation. I'd recommend using "Easy Italian" on Youtube and possibly Coffee Break Italian as well if you want to get through A level and farther and just assume it is going to take several months--up to a year--to accomplish that. As my Spanish teacher says, poco a poco. I only have a couple months before my trip to Italy, so, Paul Noble is my pick for the fastest way into Italian that will stick with me, but I'm using the other two programs I've mentioned above as well.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 412
A bet between the gods Hermes and Apollo leads them to grant human consciousness and language to a group of dogs overnighting at a Toronto veterinary clinic. Suddenly capable of more complex thought, the pack is torn between those who resist the new ways of thinking, preferring the old dog ways, and those who embrace the change. The gods watch from above as the dogs venture into their newly unfamiliar world, as they become divided among themselves, as each struggles with new thoughts and feelings.

Very good story but not exactly light-hearted!

One of the most unusual and imaginative stories I have ever encountered. The prose is matter of fact and deeply beautiful. It needs to be read or heard multiple times—my first impression is that I’m astounded by its beauty.

With Paul Noble’s simple, relaxed approach you will 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 introduce you to the basics of the French language and guide you through over 12 hours of everyday scenarios – from simple situations like asking for directions and eating out to talking about yourself and how to master the different tenses – that are practical, fun, and applicable. Just listen, interact, and learn wherever you are.

A Great Start on French

Paul Noble has the best language books and audio of anyone I've found when it comes to getting you into a language fast. The best thing about "Learn French" is that it is all aural. When you set French spelling aside at the beginning and just concentrate on pronunciation, that language becomes much easier, much simpler to learn. And with Noble's method, you won't feel like your memorizing a language but acquiring it. I've used Babel, Rocket French, and Ouino, so I've spent some money. But Noble's out does them all at the beginning. For your first three or four months of French, go with this course in a 50/50 mix with Coffee Break French, and you will zoom.
