Description: * LEARN TO SPEAK ITALIAN LANGUAGE * * FSI TRAINING COURSE * AUDIO & TEXT on DVD * Italian is a Romance language spoken mainly in Europe: Italy, Switzerland, San Marino, Vatican City, by minorities in Malta, Monaco, Croatia, Slovenia, France, Libya, Eritrea, and Somalia, and by immigrant communities in the Americas and Australia. Many speakers are native bilinguals of both standardized Italian and other regional languages. According to the Bologna statistics of the European Union, Italian is spoken as a mother tongue by 65 million people in the EU (13% of the EU population), mainly in Italy, and as a second language by 14 million (3%). Including the Italian speakers in non-EU European countries (such as Switzerland and Albania) and on other continents, the total number of speakers is more than 85 million. (wikipedia) The FSI Language Courses are developed by the Foreign Service Institute, part of the government of the United States of America. The courses have been designed to help students reach a level of proficiency which will enable them to understand and fully participate in most formal and informal conversations. The American goverment has been producing top quality government sponsored language programs for over forty years. These courses along with others were designed as a training tool for the United States government's top agencies and personnel, including Ambassadors, Government agents, and Diplomats. Many people agree that these are the most thorough and effective language training courses ever compiled. They are ideal whether you are a complete novice or are just wanting to brush up. The methods used have been tried, tested and fine-tuned over the last forty years or so and offer you the potential to quickly and effectively learn the language. The audio courses are in MP3 format in individual lessons, which mean you can learn them at your own pace. You can upload or listen to them from your MP3 player, computer, or vehicle (if you have an MP3 player).... alternatively you could transfer the files to a standard audio discs for use in any CD player. To accompany the courses, there are written texts included on the disc(s). These learning manuals are in PDF (adobe) format, which again can be read from a computer or printed off page by page as you progress. The courses were originally intended to be instructor-led but are also recognized as ideal self taught courses. Once again these are the original language courses used for decades by U.S. government officials. * 47 AUDIO LESSONS / 30 TEXT LESSONS * 23 HRS OF COMPLETE AUDIO GUIDE! 2,533 PAGES OF ACCOMPANYING TEXT!
