Really useful course

This course was everything it promised. I’d tried several different ways to learn Italian and this was the one that worked. I’m now onto the third book on audible. The lessons are very well structured and recapitulate without being repetitive. I appreciate that Paul uses a native Italian speaker to articulate the language. The only drawback was that he refers to the workbook in several instances. However you can access this as a free download from the publishers. Highly recommended.

Excellent

Very good for learning. Explains the language well so you have an understanding of Italian and are not just repeating phrases with little ability to really communicate.

Brilliant!

Paul's teaching method and simple explanations of how the Italian language is formed was easy to follow and understand. We now feel a lot more confident heading to Italy. Thank you!

So helpful for my trip to Italy!

I listened to Paul’s audio book while driving to and from work each day (I only have a 20min commute) and it gave me confidence to speak Italian on my recent holiday in Italy. I was able to use so much of what I learned and amazingly I was able to recall the language easily when I needed, because Paul made it so practical and recall was just there! I am buying the French version now for my holiday in France!

Great way to learn

Picked this book up to check how it worked and was throughly impressed.
I found I was able to take in the information and retain it. I have been using other learning methods for a while but I found I was learning more through this book and far easier.
Books 2 and 3 are now in my library ready to go

Noble Effort in Effective Language Learning

The effectiveness of any language audio book is very dependent upon your particular learning style. Most rely on repeating phrases in the hope that the listener will eventually absorb and memorise the language, problem is most forget within days. Paul Noble's approach to teaching Italian is radically different and very, very effective. Noble gently and conversationally de-constructs the Italian sentence into an equation with a start, middle and end and uses clever mnemonic devices such as the "Maria and Mario" rule to empower the student in building their own language. Book One of the three book series is full of "I finally get it" moments as Noble the tutor, supported by crystal clear delivery of the Italian phrases from a native italian female speaker, unlocks the recipe to bake your own italian in a clever and engaging way. Buonissimo!
