Book Reviews of Italian III - 2nd Ed.: Learn to Speak and Understand Italian with Pimsleur Language Programs (Pimsleur Language Program)

Book Review: Worth the money
Summary: 5 Stars

This is for people who have used Pimsleur Comprehensive I and II.
It is at an intermediate to advanced level.
The audio is very clear. There is ample time for you to repeat. When the English doesn't translate the Italian literally, an explanation and a literal translation is given (some of the time.)
It works because you are hearing good Italian and producing good Italian, by repeating what you hear.
I know that none of the Pimsleur courses have a transcript of the audio, but I think it would be a good idea to furnish one, or at least a printed glossary of the new words introduced in each lesson.

It would also be a good idea to give a FEW explanations of why things are said a certain way. This can be done without complex grammar explanations, which are best done in a book or by a teacher. For example, they could tell you why you don't use the article when you say "mio padre", my father, but you do use the article when you say "il mio libro", my book. The article is not used when you use the personal pronouns for "my", "your", "our" and a family member.

Summary of Italian III - 2nd Ed.: Learn to Speak and Understand Italian with Pimsleur Language Programs (Pimsleur Language Program)

Comprehensive Italian III includes 30 additional lessons (16 hrs.), plus Readings, which build upon the language skills acquired in Levels I and II. Increased spoken and reading language ability.

Level III will increase your vocabulary and grammatical structures and triple your spoken proficiency. Upon completion of a level III, you will be able to:

* participate in most informal and some formal discussions on practical, social, and some semi-professional topics,

* form longer sentences while maintaining the target language syntax,

* be understood even by native speakers unused to dealing with foreigners,

* handle increasingly difficult grammatical structures,

* enjoy fluent conversations with a variety of strangers,

* have a near-native accent, and the subtleties of the language will be apparent in your speech,

* read at the same level at which you speak.

Note: In order for the Pimsleur Method to work correctly, you must first complete the Level I + II language programs before proceeding to the Level III language program.
