Definitely recommend this. I bought this as a continuation from level 1—going to Italy soon and need basic language skills. I like the audio CDs—makes it easy to learn in my car on my way to work. They do a good job of reinforcing and building slowly. Since I am a bit distracted (traffic), I have to listen to each lesson several times before moving on (80% retention is recommended to continue). Big plus for me is they are geared to the tourist, and most of what you learn is practical. (Although we learned about buying hats quite a few lessons before learning how to order red or white wine-lol). Some of the lessons are subtly funny (love the one where the guy is trying to hit on a lady) making it fun to learn. Their theory is to learn by audio almost exclusively (small reading book included), but this makes it a bit harder for me as I'm a visual learner. This is the main reason I'm not giving it 5 stars. I bought several books & dictionaries to supplement this series, which is helping. After all, we are going to have to read signs, menus, etc. so learning to read it is important too.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I purchased the Italian Pimsleur Language Program because I wanted to learn a second language & hopefully one day travel to Tuscany. I also grew tired of listening to the radio & hearing endless chatter & not songs. This was a great way to listen & learn on the commute. Amazingly, it's easy to learn. I went thru the 1 set & can manage to comprehend 95%, & speak 90%. It's a very fun way to learn a 2nd language at your own speed. I highly recommended it. Ended up purchasing Italian III also, so I can't wait to get into that either.
I have completed Italian 1 and now need to go on to Italian 11. I really have enjoyed the program. The problem is that everything is audible only. Sometimes, it is hard to understand the person speaking and if you could see the word, it would be easier to understand and say it. If a transcript of each lesson was included, you could read along and learn to read and write, not just speak only. I made a transcript of each lesson as I went along and it was a lot of work. For me, I need to see the word to say it. Why go through all the work to speak only and not read and write? This is what is not good about the Pimsleur method. They could greatly improve their method by just including a transcript of each lesson. How hard could this be? They have to have a transcript for the people instructing the lesson anyway. That is why I am giving the program an "average" rating.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I have heard good comments about the Pimsleur series in general. Friends have told me they have learned quickly and easily with the Pimsleur program. After listening to 4 of the lessons, I have to agree. The program takes you along in a logical manner with a good amount of repetition and review at the beginning and end of each lesson, which keeps you grounded in the language. I would gladly recommend Pimsleur to anyone who wants to learn a language.
The Pimsleur Italian II lesson set arrived promptly and in good condition. We love Pimsleur!! On our last trip to Italy the Italian I complete lessons came in very handy.
