- We custom made Fluenz Italian as language learners who knew there had to be a better way. With 60 sessions of up to two and one-half hours each, this is the most comprehensive software application covering the first and second levels of Italian anywhere.
- To create a live learning environment, similar to what you are used to in a classroom, language tutor Sonia Gil guides you on video every step of the way.
- Adults do not learn in the same way as children; we need to use the rules of languages we know to learn other languages. Fluenz uses your knowledge of English as leverage for accelerating your learning of Italian, with an emphasis on those words you are most likely to use.
- A next-generation platform blends beautiful full motion video with engaging, interactive workouts, including voice recording so you can compare your accent to native speech.
- Included are the Fluenz Italian 1 and 2 DVD-ROMs for your computer (Mac OS X 10.3 and above, running great on Tiger and Leopard), two audio CDs for additional training, and the handy Fluenz Navigator for on-the-go referencing of important words and phrases.

Fluenz Italian Level 1
Product Description
Product Description
Fluenz is a software company founded by a group of passionate language learners who felt there had to be a better way. We believe in the power of one-on-one tutoring, so our technology is geared towards bringing real life instruction to the computer. In our Italian application, language tutor Sonia Gil guides you throughout the program, blending full motion video explanations in English with a series of highly engaging workouts, helping you to understand and speak relevant Italian. The Fluenz system follows three clear principles: 1) We learn best when we have a teacher. It's often difficult to motivate yourself to learn on your own. By bringing a tutor to the computer, we explain all concepts in a sensible way and you don't have to tackle Italian all by yourself. 2) It's easier to learn Italian by starting out in English. Italian is a tough langauge to learn and we are able to progress much faster by using our knowledge of English as leverage for helping us learn Italian. In fact, modern linguistics tells us that as adults, we need to use the tools of the language we already know and apply them to learning a new language. With Fluenz, you learn first in English and relate basic Italian grammar and syntax to that of English, rather than trying to understand Italian grammar with Italian logic. 3) It's best to learn the most relevant words in Italian right away. You need to start learning the words and structures that will allow you to communicate the most in the least amount of time, taking into consideration which words are easier to remember for English speakers, which expressions make the most logical sense to us, and which are most useful--"cell phone" instead of "red apple." Being able to communicate right away in simple ways requires relevant learning. And, with 13 types of workouts covering verbal expression and comprehension, as well as reading and writing, you practice and internalize what you learn in the video lessons.

Strongly recommended!,
I did the Fluenz Mandarin course last year, was impressed with the program,
and then spent two succesful weeks in Harbin for work (btw, Harbin prides itself
with speaking the best Mandarin in China). Because Italian has been my life-long
unfulfilled passion, I didn't hesitate to buy Italian 1 when I first saw it.
Seeing that Italian 2 just came out, I decided to put in an order, but also to
write this review as there are no others yet. This small company is doing an
admirable job and everyone should know about it. Chinese
