An English-speaking narrator guides you through the short, easy-to-follow lessons - all you have to do is listen and repeat after the native Italian speakers. There's no reading required, although a listener's guide is provided if you want to look up spelling or grammar rules.

Each lesson begins with vocabulary and some grammar basics before introducing a lively dialogue that includes the most current Italian idioms and usage. Interactive exercises reinforce what you've learned. You'll also find out some intriguing facts about Italian customs and culture.
