Publisher's summary

What is the most challenging thing about learning Italian?

It is finding helpful and engaging listening material that you can actually understand. That is exactly what inspired us to bring out this audiobook.

How is a student supposed to learn when language instructors love providing materials that are tough, expert-level literature with tons of grammar and rules? That style of book for new language learners can be overwhelming, and lead you to flip back and forth between a dictionary and your book constantly! Not an effective use of your time nor the best way to learn.

Is this how children learn their language skills? No.

Italian Short was an excellent way to practice

I have limited listening experience with Italian. It's good to hear in Italian with the accents the stories given in this story. It was very helpful in learning to use the language I am learning for proper pronunciation and emphasis.

loved it.

As a language enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed these stories; I felt like this was the best way to learn. The stories were interesting and also easy to follow the pronunciation was meticulous which made it possible to learn new words and also understand how to conjugate a sentence. The most effective feature was how all the difficult words were translated and repeated, this helped in learning and memorizing those words and ultimately building a better vocabulary. Overall I felt like this was a great learning experience

Flashcards Included

I just wanted to add that Jessica Muraca reads the vocabulary words at the end of the book in Italian and in English (they're flashcards, I think), so that's an interesting feature to look out for.

Not for beginners

The verb tenses are not for beginners. The vocabulary is not for beginners.
I am keeping this title to use after I have learned more of the language.
