Foreign Service Institute (FSI). Includes 23 audio CD tapes, plus a textbook. This volume is designed to introduce you to spoken Italian. It covers virtually the entire sound-system of the language and introduces the basic grammatical categories, and consists of thirty-four units that accompany the audio CDs. "Programmatic" means that the information is presented and practiced in small steps that are numbered, which in this case are called "frames." Renowned Italian linguists Stephen Zappala and Egle Camozzo wrote, designed, and edited all the materials, and members of the talented FSI staff contributed useful suggestions. Egle Camozzo, Emilia Francini, Giovanni Salvo, as well as Stephen Zappala himself voice the recorded program. Innovative features in the text include an emphasis on concept understanding, analyses of Italian intonation, and double consonants. If you want to speak the beautiful language that is Italian, then this FSI course is for you - it is the language course that works! With 23 audio CDs and a book.

Includes 6 sixty-minute Audio CD discs, and a 442-page textbook. Spoken Language Services is "the original self-study language teacher." Featuring techniques pioneered by professional linguists during World War II, these no-nonsense courses have been used successfully by thousands of students to jump-start their foreign language training. No other method has proved more effective than the simple listen-and-imitate method these courses employ. In fact, it is the same way we all learned as children to speak our native language! Most of the courses in the Spoken Language Series were prepared originally by professional linguists under the aegis of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Linguistic Society of America. Books are self-instructional and are accompanied by cassettes keyed to the course material. Cassettes are recorded by native speakers and cover conversations, pronunciation exercises, and TRUE-FALSE tests. Each word or phrase is spoken first in English* and then twice in the language of the course, with a pause after each utterance to allow the listener to repeat and imitate. The cassettes can be used for practice without the text. Grammatical explanations are given for the language content already learned. The learner gets systematic development of the linguistic structure instead of first learning a grammar and then trying to fit utterances into it. Course material covered in Book I is roughly equivalent to one semester's intensive study (8 class hours per week with 30 hours outside practice). At the end of the course the learner should have a good grounding in everyday vocabulary, grammar, and usage, and be able to communicate with native speakers. This could be exactly the course that you are looking for!

Includes 8 sixty-minute audio CD discs ( = 8 hours). This unusual method uses no text or printed materials. You learn by listening to the audio CDs while driving, cooking, gardening, walking, or doing some other monotonous task. You only play the audio CDs when you are already doing something. That's why it requires No Time! The course is introductory-level and will help you master the basics of the language for business or travel; yet the grammar and sentences are contemporary and not simplistic. There is extensive vocabulary and conversation practice, plus an explanation of the language's structure and grammar. The course consists of conversation, speaking, and vocabulary ( = 8 hours). Before you know it, you will begin acquiring vocabulary and comprehend sentence structure by hearing it only__and it does work!
