I had virtually thrown in the towel with regard to learning Italian, but came across this book and so many mysteries about the language were dispelled very quickly. With previous attempts I had stalled because
Certain elements didn't seem to penetrate my concentration and/or understanding. I found everything was explained perfectly AND I understood all that was conveyed. I have suddenly acquired a greater confidence with the language and eagerly anticipate a steady progress using this and the remaining books in the series. My grateful thanks go to Mr Noble et al.

I struggled with Italian, until now

The content (or 'story') is good; ie good relevant vocabulary for a beginner, repeated often and you get quickly into being able to use short sentences. The explanations are there to aid memory and they do work. There is a feel good factor in being guided to nearly always being right in responses, so , a very well designed course. My only criticism would be that there are references to lists at the back of the booklet for numbers etc. Listening on Audible, if there's a way to find them, I haven't found it.

It works.

Clear and concise. For me, learning was easy, and it was fun and engaging. Plus quick, good to learn a large amount of Italian 2 months before my holiday.

Great.

I have been learning Italian at evening class and really struggling. Pauls method makes it easier and teaches Italian conversation rather than bombarding the listener with grammar rules. I would recommend this.

This is a great introduction to learning the basics of Italian. It is easy to understand and you can repeat sections or pause if you need extra time to think. Paul Noble goes through vocabulary in a very logical way. I am surprised how much I can say already!

My husband and I restore houses in France as a full time job 6 days a week, so the only way I can learn a language is via something that is completely "audio based" - I have no time to study "accompanying booklets or notes". The Paul Noble series of 3 is fautless in this. If you listen to nothing else to learn a language, then this is the absolute MUST to start learning a language. He explains everything so well, his instructions are clear, and there is no gratuitous chat or jokes that others seem to waste so much time in doing. At the end of the three series, I felt confident and happy, and never needed to look at any of the accompanying booklets - fantastic when you really do want to learn via an audio medium. My only critisism - that Paul Noble does not continue with more series. I have tried other options to continue my learning, but nothing compares to his clean and clear way of teaching.

What made the experience of listening to Collins Italian with Paul Noble - Learn Italian the Natural Way, Part 1 the most enjoyable?

I normally use Michel Thomas method language lessons but initially chose Paul Noble for Italian because of the bad reviews Michel Thomas Italian received. Paul Noble uses a method very similar to Michel Thomas but more methodical and with a native Italian speaker for better pronunciation. On the downside Paul Noble is very slow moving both in terms of progress and slow speaking which I found so irritating that I switched back to Michel Thomas.

However as I found out, the bad reviews of Michel Thomas Italian are well deserved, so found myself switching back to Paul Noble. This time I set the play speed to x1.25 and this made all the difference.

To start learning a new language my experience is that Michel Thomas or Paul Noble is a must. Paul Noble is certainly better value than Michel Thomas but you may prefer Michel Thomas' style like I do. However for Italian I'd strongly recommend you choose Paul Noble.

Great value, excellent way to learn
