Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer

An advanced DVD for conversational level language learning, Advanced Italian combines the power of the movies and DVD-ROM technology to bring you exciting language learning that really works! Watch full-screen video, and play games and exercises that make you remember what you've seen and learned.

This language learning package aims to help you understand and speak Italian. By hearing and practicing authentic everyday speech, your natural ability for language will develop. Four year olds in their own country can't read, write or understand grammar, yet they can communicate very effectively. When you go to a new country, you should be able to use the language without thinking about the grammar at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mio padre e' innocente - DVD language -ADVANCED, December 22, 2005

This review is from: Italian Movie Talk Advanced (DVD)

This is an EXCELLENT production. This is a full length movie with all the words and lines scripted. There is NO grammar or rules to learn with this product ... you should have learned them before getting it. However, the practice given by this highly entertaining drama makes learning Italian fun and easier. If you need to increase your Italian fluency, this is the product for you.

There is NO ENGLISH translation, so having a good dictionary for words you may not yet know would be helful. All the vocabulary is arranged in an alphabetical section with the word presented and linked in context to the movie script. If you learn easily by use of context learning, then you will appreciate this approach. I believe the vocabulary section could have been more helpfully organized by the order in which the words occur in each of the scenes ... rather than alphabetically ... but this is really the only weakness of the product.

You cannot go wrong. You will be both entertained and LEARN Italian.

This review is from: Italian Movie Talk Advanced (DVD)

Please disregard the other review - it is not for this title.
Italian Movie Talk for Advanced learners is not a comic strip.
It is a full-length feature presentation - a real movie.
