Critic reviews

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." ( AudioFile magazine)

Effective way to learn italian, but expensive!

Great way to learn, but very expensive in terms of the amount of content covered in one audiobook. +~50% of this book’s chapters covers reading practice, which means your actual learning of new words are far less. Costs aside, this is a very easy way to learn italian. The chapters are well structured and I can see that I am improving with each lesson! Love this way if learning.

The flexabilty of learning

This system of learn works well with me because I can start, stop, back up (many times), and slow down or speed up to make certain I heard the words correctly. I enjoy how new words are quietly introduced and you don't necessarily really realize that you have added several words to your vocabulary. Fun!

Italian on your schedule

I wish there were spellings of the words that we learn in each lesson along with the reading practice. Sometimes it is hard to tell if I am picking up the pronunciation properly. Seeing it in writing helps

Molte bene

This series is teaching me Italian. I love how I can listen to the conversations and completely understand what they are saying. This is the best way I've found to learn a language so far!
