Publisher's summary
For high-beginner to low-intermediate learners
Master 60+ Italian conversational connectors (or transition phrases) in the next 30 days with this innovative, story-based immersion method. Just listen to one chapter per day, complete the exercises, and watch as conversational connectors fall into place and improve your fluency without a hitch!
Most Italian students try to learn Italian through memorization, especially when it comes to learning new vocabulary or the all-important conversational connectors (and, or, however, therefore, for example, etc.). This doesn't work and is extremely stressful for you as a learner. Why? Because there is so much vocabulary to learn and it's impossible to hold it all in your head while you're speaking. It's also not a natural approach...native speakers don't learn new words with memory tricks, after all!
Not yet convinced? Here are all the features you will find in this book:
- Short chapters of 300 words each—just listen to one chapter a day for 30 days!
- A text designed specifically for students at CEFR level A2-B1
- A detailed language overview and table of connectors so you can quickly review and remember the transition words in the story
- Short daily practice exercises to practice Italian connectors as you go
- Bilingual word lists to quickly look up new vocabulary
Scroll up and get your copy!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.
