This audiobook chip contains the complete 15.5 hours of Pimsleur's Comprehensive foreign language training in Italian, Course II. The audiobook chip has 30 lesson sets enabling listeners to build on Level I, adding to your conversational skills in Italian, dealing with concrete topics in past, present and future tense and sustain minimal level of fluency. With Pimsleur Language Programs you don't just study a language, you learn it -- the same way you mastered English! And because the technique relies on interactive spoken language training, the Pimsleur Language Programs are totally audio -- no book is needed! Pimsleur Comprehensive Language Programs consist of 90 lessons divided into three 30 lesson programs designed to cumulatively achieve the core of the language. One level builds upon the last to progressively help you reach specific spoken skills. Audiofy audiobook chips compress the 16 audio CDs that make up each Pimsleur Comprehensive Level, in this case Level II of Italian, and provide it to you on a single audiobook chip. Each language audiobook chip comes with the same documentation and reading material that the original Pimsleur cassette and CD products come with, but redesigned in a concise pamphlet sized document convenient for travel. Pimsleur programs provide a method of self-practice with an expert teacher and native speakers in lessons specially designed to work with the way the mind naturally acquires language information. The various components of language -- vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar -- are all learned together without rote memorization and drills. Using a unique method of memory recall developed by renowned linguist, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, the programs teach listeners to combine words and phrases to express themselves the way native speakers do. By listening and responding to thirty minute recorded lessons, students easily and effectively achieve spoken proficiency. No other language program or school is as quick, convenient, and effective as the Pimsleur Language Programs.
