Product Description

Review
"I am a big fan of this series. Commercial packaging, simple concept and a competitive price make these well worth trying....One to watch." (The Bookseller )

Product Description
This stand-alone, all-audio course can be used by those who have little or no knowledge of the language, by those who want to learn or brush up basic conversation skills, and by more advanced learners who require extra audio material to complement their current courses.

The ten units or 'conversations' cover the situations you are most likely to find yourself in while on holiday or on business abroad. They are divided into two parts, with a dialogue in each part. The dialogue in Part 2 reuses the vocabulary and phrases from Part 1 in a slightly different context. Both parts start with an introduction to the words and phrases you'll need, followed by the dialogue. Finally it's 'Over to you': you take part in the same dialogues following the English prompts, playing all the roles in turn. So you get lots of opportunity to practise! Frequent track markers divide the CDs up into short, easy-to-use clips.

Vocabulary and phrases in the first two CDs are kept to the basics and are introduced gradually with lots of opportunity to repeat and practise, to improve your confidence in both speaking and understanding. The third CD concentrates on helping you improve your understanding, so that you will be able to hold two-way conversations with people who speak very fast or use words and phrases you do not know.

The course comes on three 75-minute CDs and has an accompanying 48-page booklet which gives the dialogues and the translations of the dialogues, for those who like to see the written word or want additional practice. The booklet also provides a basic glossary of the words and phrases used.

This is the perfect complement to 'Teach Yourself Italian' and 'Teach Yourself Beginner's Italian'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good., 11 Jul 2007
"Italian Conversation" includes 3 CDs and a 48 page booklet. The course is designed to epand your vocabularly and increase your confidence in speaking Italian.
All the converstions are written out in the booklet and are recorded on 2 CDs. The third CD is unique - it has more conversations recorded on it (that aren't in the booklet) and it teaches listening and understanding skills.
Though it could be used on its own, I find the pack particularly useful combined with "Teach Yourself Italian". It is ideal for beginers or those who can allready speak some Italian. I am teaching myself Italian for GCSE and find the course easy to use and enjoyable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Teach Yourself letting itself down badly here, 23 Oct 2008
By ndb_master (west midlands) - See all my reviews
Unfortunate that the usually reliable TEACH YOURSELF is now starting to branch out into all kinds of money-making nonsense. I am angry at this particular weak addition to the series. Be clear that this has nothing to do with conversation whatsoever: a conversational makes it sound as if there might be some reasoned discussions or arguments on the AUTHENTIK-type level, at least above GCSE, but what you get here are just a collection of re-hashed short and sweet dialogues for nothing more complex than asking for milk with your tea. This is a terrible con and the title is extremely misleading to say the least. Most complaints about TY is that they progress too quickly, but this is a retrograde step for even the most basic of Italian learners- avoid.
