Paul’s untraditional method of teaching is wonderful! The clues he provides to remember important information is so unique and useful. It’s also great that he doesn’t expect you to cram everything into your mind the first time you hear it. So you actually enjoy going through his lesson knowing he will circle back to new topics again later on to refresh your memory. Totally loved it and learned a ton. Will be using the last chapter for practice as he suggested very often. It’s a bit of a speed-round of everything you learn in the book. Such a well thought out set of lessons.

Loved it!

Would really like more of this. Very well done. This is a very effective method.

Truly excellent.

I liked his method of relating to sounds in Enhlush along with the random repetition of words and phrases throughout. I was able to build my own sentences.

I listened to this as a complete beginner to Italian, but with background in Spanish, French and Portuguese. What I learned from this course, I learned well and feel confident and capable. I feel like I'm pronouncing things relatively well and although I don't have any idea how to spell many of the words I can speak, I believe it's a better way to learn if you plan on speaking and listening rather than reading and writing.

My main complaint is that I didn't learn very basic things like "Hi, how are you?" and "You're welcome". It seems strange that I can say, "I'd like to reserve a room for two people, for three nights, with bath." and "I am not feeling well, I vomited. I have sun stroke" but I didn't learn simple greetings except for "ciao". I got the second course and still haven't encountered what I would like to learn before traveling (greetings, important items I might see on a menu, directions (things like left, right, ahead, etc). From the second course, I can say "I was in the middle of cooking dinner when you knocked on the door" but I don't think I'll need to say that on my trip.

Overall I'd recommend the book if you would like to improve your ability to listen to and speak Italian but you'll definitely need a supplement if you plan on traveling.

Mixed emotions, but overall recommend

I recently went to Italy after 6 months of daily practice on Duolingo (not slouching either- I’m in the top 2% on the platform) and found myself unprepared for most basic exchanges.
I think the moment I realized I needed a better tool was when I found myself in a cafe, pointing at a sandwich in a case but unable to say “I’d like that one” in Italian.
So I turned to audible and I’m glad I did.
I’ve made more progress towards becoming conversational with this course than I did in the previous 6-9 months.
Paul’s teaching style is very easy to follow: rather than rote memorization of hundreds of words, he drops etymological bombs that add many words to your vocabulary instantly. For example, almost every word in English which ends in “ation” (Latin root), simply changes the end to “are” in Italian—that’s 1,200+ words. :head_exploding_emoji:
I also particularly like his use of having a native Italian speaking woman answer the questions which he’s asking you, after a short pause.
I shouldn’t totally discount Duolingo- I’m sure the 6 months I did (and I continue to use it) helped prepare me for this course to some extent- but if I had to choose one, I’d choose this course, without question. Kind of mind blowing that it only cost a single book credit on Audible. Can’t recommend enough.

More useful than 6 months of Duolingo

Works!

I was struggling with a language app to begin learning Italian. While I felt like I learned a lot of vocabulary words, I didn’t feel as if so had developed any practical skill with the language. This course corrected that problem. The instruction is structured in such a way to give you a very practical primer on actually speaking Italian in common situations. If you do no more than listen to this course you will develop enough skill to get through basic tourist situations without having to resort to asking people to speak English. I’m very pleased! Highly recommend!

Very useful!

The way the author breaks down his system of learning made it so much easier for me than any app I tried or book I read. I always got stuck and frustrated after a few weeks. Paul Noble’s method is easy to understand. I am still learning, but literally 10 times faster now.

Best language learning system
