About this listen
Do you know the biggest secret to learning Italian quickly?
To enjoy the material!
If you're struggling with Italian conjugations or finding helpful and engaging material you can actually understand…you're not alone.
This is exactly what inspired us to write another book in our highly-praised Italian learning series.
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.
Meet Italian Short Stories for Beginners Volume 2: 20 easy-to-read, engaging, and fun stories that will help you significantly grow your vocabulary, speed up your comprehension, and provide you the tools to improve your grasp of the Italian language.
All stories are written with beginner Italian learners in mind using vocabulary that you could easily use in your day-to-day conversations.
This program is excellent for those who want to get an introduction to the language or brush up on their Italian language skills.
Even if you have failed multiple times to learn Italian, we guarantee these exciting short stories will give you words and phrases you can start using with native Italian speakers immediately.
It’s time to add the rocket fuel you need to boost your confidence & finally grasp the language!
What are you waiting for? Act now and grab your copy of Italian Short Stories to start learning the fun way!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
In July 1995, San Jose Mercury-News reporter Gary Webb found the Big One - the blockbuster story every journalist secretly dreams about - without even looking for it. A simple phone call concerning an unexceptional pending drug trial turned into a massive conspiracy involving the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, L.A. and Bay Area crack cocaine dealers, and the Central Intelligence Agency.

Story
Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? 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.

Story
A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar. Why do we say "I am reading a catalog" instead of "I read a catalog"? Why do we say "do" at all? Is the way we speak a reflection of our cultural values? Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history.

Good Audiobook in Italian
Probably not the best for someone who doesn't know any Italian whatsoever...However, the companion doc can also help with that. I found that the stories increased in difficulty chapter by chapter, which allowed for me to expand my Italian comprehension much quicker. The recap and tricky questions for each story were a nice touch.

Really helpful
I like these stories. It would help if the readers had an English speaking person helped them with the English pronunciation, however. Thank you for doing these.

Decent Italian Learning Tool
A wonderful idea to help with learning Italian. These stories are fun and simple to follow along. The narrator did an excellent job. Touri, keep coming out with great Italian learning materials. I have tried a number of Italian audiobooks and in my opinion this is one of the best ones to really start to train your ear.

Narrator's Pacing is "On Point"
I love the stories in this book. They are carefully selected to be engaging, yet informative. They are narrated with a warm and welcoming voice which I thought really helped for learning Italian. I've listened to the audiobook several times and enjoy it more every time. The whole point is to use common words in the Italian language within a fun context. Although, I had a little bit of Italian knowledge, this book served as a great resource for improving my comprehension, especially through the exercises.This is a very useful and interesting book.

Delightful learning experience
Superb, high-quality audio and narration. If you're looking for a good way to learn Italian this is it! It's worth grabbing a copy simply from the entertainment aspect. There's a PDF document that comes with it too for those visual learners out there. Several helpful with phrases and stories that will have you master Italian like a native. The voice-over performer was quite fluent, clear and patient when she was going back and forth with the easy translations and what they mean. So when you get a chance pick up a copy and enjoy.

I wish I'd read it earlier.
Listening to this book was ok but there is a lot of numerical information that is hard to follow without seeing it.

Distance learning has never been easier
I've been learning Italian with Touri Language Learning for some time now - Conversational Italian Dialogues and the other short stories they have, so I thought I'd give this audiobook a shot. Even though I'm not quite fluent after only two months of learning, I'm able to follow the stories in this book easier than I had anticipated. I found having this book is helping me with the others as well. If you're trying to learn Italian then this book will be a good thing to get. It really helps to hear in context what you're learning. The narration is done well.

The narrator makes learning Italian easy!
I was able to understand each vocabulary clearly word and follow along with what I was hearing. I got the previous two audiobooks and this one didn't not let me down. Get this audiobook and don't forget to download the PDF companion document, it's a big help.
