The course book in this comprehensive starter pack is DK’s 15 Minute Italian, which has 12 chapters spanning a range of practical themes, including socializing, business, food and drink, travel, and shopping. Each chapter is broken down into 15-minute lessons, which combine vocabulary and grammar essentials with attractive full-colour photographs. Review modules help you track your progress and identify where you need further practice.

The Complete Language Pack also contains a visual Italian phrase book – including the essential words and phrases you need to get by in Italian – and a guide to the basics of Italian grammar. Two free audio apps (one for the 15 Minute book and one for the phrase book) enable you to hear Italian words and phrases spoken by native speakers. Use the apps alongside the Language Pack’s easy-to-use pronunciation guides to perfect your pronunciation and practise Italian conversation in real-life situations. Whether you’re starting from scratch or want to brush up your Italian, the Complete Language Pack makes Italian language learning quick, easy, and fun.

“I had to learn [a new language] in a handful of days for a TV interview. I asked Benny for help and his advice was invaluable.” – Tim Ferriss

What if you could skip the years of study and jump right to speaking French? Sound crazy? No, it’s language hacking. It’s about learning what’s indispensable, skipping what’s not – and using what you’ve learned to have real conversations in French – from day one!

Unlike most traditional language courses that try to teach you the rules of a language, Language Hacking French, shows you how to learn and speak French immediately through proven memory techniques, unconventional shortcuts and conversation strategies perfect by one of the world’s greatest language learners, Benny Lewis, aka the Irish Polyglot.

The Method

Language Hacking takes a modern approach to language learning, blending the power of online social collaboration and the 80/20 principle of learning (Benny’s ten #languagehacks show you how to achieve more with less!). It focuses on the conversations and language that learners need to master right away, rather than presenting language in the order of difficulty like most courses. This means you can start having conversations immediately.

Course Features
Each of the 10 units culminates with a speaking mission that you can choose to share on the italki Language Hacking learner community (www.italki.com/languagehacking) where you can give and get feedback and extend your learning beyond the pages of the book.

The audio for this course is available for free on library.teachyourself.com or from the Teach Yourself Library app.

You don’t need to go abroad to learn a language any more.

Ideal for English test preparations or ESL lesson plans, the Course Book uses visual teaching methods to introduce the English language, reinforced through a variety of exercises and examples when used alongside our Practice Book (Level 1). From introducing yourself and talking about your home, city, and hobbies to expanding your vocabulary and understanding grammar and punctuation, this is a completely comprehensive introduction to practical English usage.
