Italiano Spontaneo - Travel Language Phrasebook Italian-English: Learn Italian with the Turtle Method: dialogues, audio recordings and flashcards

This phrasebook is based upon a tried and tested language learning method, jokingly known among my students and myself as the "turtle method". The name comes from the fact that this method is "slow" but "sure". It is based on Professor Stephen Krashen's theories (University of Southern California) and it primarily consists of listening to and repeating comprehensible language input in a stress-free environment. This method will help you to speak Italian spontaneously, without worrying about grammar, nor the need to mentally translate. You will focus on listening and conversation, balanced with reading and writing. A few weeks from now, you will have made surprising progress and you will have stored new sentences and vocabulary in your long-term memory. A couple of months from now, once you have finished the book, you will have learned 300 Italian words, including the best expressions to use in common situations, and the most important verb forms you might need while travelling. Above all, you will have practiced Italian pronunciation every day, which is essential for natural conversations. At the end of the book, you will find a guide on how to download the audio recordings which are to be used alongside the phrasebook for each lesson.

Buono studio con il metodo tartaruga!
