Speaking High Frequency Italian/ 6 Cassettes
Author: Mark A. Frobose

Some words, phrases and structures are used much more than others in any language. When you learn these most common forms first, you greatly increase your communicative ability in Italian in a minimum of time. Speaking High Frequency Italian an exceptionally complete, fast and easy to understand audiocassette course and book to mastering the r... more »eading, writing, and speaking of practical everyday 'high frequency' Italian. This tapes and text quickly take the learner from beginning to advanced level Italian by teaching the listener to speak a maximum amount of useful and practical high frequency Italian in a minimum of time. Research shows that most foreign language learners spend over half of their time looking up meanings and guessing at answers instead of learning the language. Speaking High Frequency Italian is an exciting and effective 'learn on your own' taped course that literally 'takes the foreign out of language by providing clear English translations, explanations, and answers for all Italian exercises. An American instructor talks you through the course in English while a trained native Italian speaker teaches the language the way it is really spoken. This time saving element completely eliminates guesswork and frustration so you always quickly know and understand what you are learning. Furthermore, clear and concise answer keys allow you to check your own work throughout the book providing you with immediate feedback as to your progress. This marvellous text also provides you with a pronunciation guide, notes on culture, complete answer keys, English translations, a complete verb list, diagrams, illustrations, as well as writing and conversation practice sections to enhance the learning of Italian even more. Suitable for all levels and ages, Complete High Frequency Italian ideal for travelers, businesspeople, students and language aficionados of all levels and backgrounds. Why high frequency language? How would you feel if someone taught a foreign exchange student at your house the word 'antidisestablishmentarianism'? You would say 'Why did they teach you that word?' 'It isn't even English.' 'No one even knows what it means.' The fact is that it is English, but it is a low frequency word. All languages are literally cluttered with tens of thousands nearly useless low frequency words and structures that the average student must stumble over. The problem is that many foreign language authors and teachers love to teach their students such words because they think they sound neat, and as a result their students never learn to really communicate in a second language. Fortunately for us, all languages also have little gems called 'high frequency' words which are used thousands of times more often than other words and structures and are therefore much more valuable to the language learner because they increase communicative ability in a minimum of time. Complete High Frequency Italian contains only high frequency language in its more than 200 pages.
