Learn in Your Car Italian Level One (Learn in Your Car) description
Look ma, no textbooks! The Learn in Your Car series treats you like a child--in the best possible way--starting with one-word phrases ("please," "good-by"), counting exercises, and simple nouns ("bus," "train") designed to imitate a child's learning process. First you hear the words in English, then they are repeated slowly in clear, unaccented pronunciations. The method is extremely effective for those who don't know a thing, or for those who want to brush up by testing themselves when the English words are spoken. The tapes emphasize the building blocks of communicating in a foreign country rather than rote phrases that only apply on the tape and not in real-life exchanges. Level 1 painlessly covers basic verb forms, essential prepositions, near future and past tenses, as well as shopping, hotel reservations, and other travel-related situations. The series includes French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish in three levels that can be purchased individually or in boxed sets. Each level contains two 90-minute cassettes (or CDs) and an accompanying booklet (not for use behind the wheel) with helpful explanations and scripts for the lessons. |

Learn Italian in Your Car - Level I
|
I received Level 1 as a Christmas gift and I LOVE it. I listen to it in my car every day during my commute and I think it is an incredibly effective way to learn a language. After two and a half months, I feel I am ready to move on to Level 2 but know that I will continue to listen to Level 1 now and then as a refresher.
I like the fact that there are two very different sounding speakers pronouncing the Italian; if you were a non-native speaker and learned English from a Bostonian how would you ever cope if you decided to visit Georgia?! I think of the female speaker as almost "over-pronouncing" the words--the way you might if you were trying to teach English to a non-native speaker. The male speaker seems to use more contractions and allows his words to run together--they way I know I speak English in everyday conversation. By listening to the CD's over and over again, I pick up little nuances. I literally learn something new every time I listen to the CD.
I can understand how somebody might be disappointed if they thought they were going to learn to speak fluently after one or two listenings but I think that's pretty unrealistic for learning something as comprehensive as a language. |
