The Great Courses LEARNING ITALIAN DVD and Course Book Set

Description: LEARNING ITALIAN STEP BY STEP and REGION BY REGION DVD and Course Book Set Regular Retail Price: $339.95Brand New Learn La Bella Lingua from Professor Kristina Olson of George Mason University, an acclaimed teacher and scholar of Italian language and literature. She designed this inclusive course with the core premise of the Italian language being inseparable from Italy itself: to understand the language, you must understand the “Bel Paese”—the beautiful country. With its musicality, sensuality, and rich expressiveness, Italian is one of the most beautiful languages in the world—as well as the doorway to one of the world’s most iconic cultures. What better way to know this magnificent culture than through the extraordinary beauty of its language? Starting from the beginning, you’ll build conversational skills step-by-step through exercises, dialogues, games, and dramatic scenarios, both in the video lessons and in the course workbook. Along the way, you’ll learn many wonderful expressions that make Italian so delightful to speak and hear, and you’ll become familiar with the vibrant hand gestures that the Italians are famous for. Whether you want to learn Italian in order to travel to Italy, to converse with Italian-speaking friends, or to connect with your own Italian roots, this course will teach you what you need to know, and more. 24 lectures on 4 DVDsDVD is sealedPrinted 8 ½ x 11, 289 page course workbook with extra blank pages for notes 24 Comprehensive Lectures Average 31 minutes each by Topic and Region: 1.
