You work on multiple aspects of the language simultaneously. Reminders of new words and structures come up at the exact interval for maximum retention and storage into your long-term memory. We don’t overwhelm you with too much, but steadily increase your ability with every lesson. Words, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday conversation. Having to do this boosts retention, and cements the word in your mind. In the nanosecond between a cue and your response, your brain has to work to come up with the right word. Paul Pimsleur spent his career researching and perfecting the precise elements anyone can use to learn a language quickly and easily. We make no secret of what makes this powerful method work so well. It’s a powerful combination that makes Pimsleur different from every other method on the market. Learning the sound of each letter alone and in culturally distinct combinations allows your brain to process what you’re hearing in the audio lessons from a new and different perspective. These Reading Lessons, which total about one hour, are designed to teach you to sound out words with correct pronunciation and accent. In addition, the combined Reading Lessons are included after Lesson 30. Reading Lessons begin in Lesson 9 to provide you with an introduction to reading Italian. You’ll be able to speak comfortably about things that happened in the past and make plans for the future. Lessons include shopping, visiting friends, going to a restaurant, plans for the evening, car trips, and talking about family. More directions are given in Italian, which moves your learning to a whole new plane. In the final 10 lessons, you’ll be speaking and understanding at an intermediate level. You’ll understand more of what you hear, and be able to participate with speech that is smoother and more confident. Expand your menu, increase your scheduling abilities from general to specific, start to deal with currency and exchanging money, refine your conversations and add over a hundred new vocabulary items. In the next 10 lessons, you’ll build on what you’ve learned. You’ll be able to handle minimum courtesy requirements, understand much of what you hear, and be understood at a beginning level, but with near-native pronunciation skills. In the first 10 lessons, you’ll cover the basics: saying hello, asking for or giving information, scheduling a meal or a meeting, asking for or giving basic directions, and much more.
