Book Reviews of Italian I : Pimsleur Comprehensive (Pimsleur CD Series)

Book Review: great format
Summary: 5 Stars

For the most part, I really like the "Pimsleur Method". It gives the listener a sample dialog, then expounds on it with additional vocabulary. But what's real good is that throughout the lessons, there are quick reviews of
vocabulary that's already been introduced in previous lessons. Each lesson is about 30 minutes long.
This is a real good technique to reinforce what you've learned while continuing to build on what is being
taught in each lesson.
The only thing I wasn't not totally happy with is the speakers in the lessons often don't give clear enough
pronunciations of words. On several occasion I thought the speaker was pronouncing a word one way
only to find out later that they were really saying something else. I downloaded these, so I didn't have
the benefit of a book or study guide that comes with the CD when you buy it.
But aside from that little problem, I really recommend this product. Not just the Italian, but their courses
for a variety of languages are all really great.
What's also great is that, unlike other language instruction aids I've used, these don't get boring.

Summary of Italian I : Pimsleur Comprehensive (Pimsleur CD Series)

With Pimsleur Language Programs you don't just study a language, you learn it -- the same way you mastered English! And because the technique relies on interactive spoken language training, the Pimsleur Language Programs are totally audio -- no book is needed!

The Pimsleur programs provide a method of self-practice with an expert teacher and native speakers in lessons specially designed to work with the way the mind naturally acquires language information. The various components of language -- vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar -- are all learned together without rote memorization and drills. Using a unique method of memory recall developed by renowned linguist, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, the programs teach listeners to combine words and phrases to express themselves the way native speakers do. By listening and responding to thirty minute recorded lessons, students easily and effectively achieve spoken proficiency.

No other language program or school is as quick, convenient, and effective as the Pimsleur Language Programs.

The Comprehensive Program is the ultimate in spoken language learning. For those who want to become proficient in the language of their choice, the Comprehensive programs go beyond the Basic Programs to offer spoken-language fluency. Using the same simple method of interactive self-practice with native speakers, these comprehensive programs provide a complete language learning course. The Comprehensive Program is available in a wide variety of languages and runs through three levels (thirty lessons each) in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. At the end of a full Comprehensive Program listeners will be conducting complete conversations and be well on their way to mastering the language. The Comprehensive Programs are all available on cassettes and are also on CD in the six languages in which we offer the Basic Program on CD.
