People have recommended all sorts of Italian learning things to me. One of my friends suggested Pimsleur, and I listened to the first lesson today, on the subway. It goes pretty slowly. In a half hour, this lesson went over a five line conversation with a few variations. There's a narrator, who tells you what you are about to hear, and what to say. I hope the pace picks up a little as the lessons go on. Otherwise I may die of boredom. (Or ditch it in favor of a different language learning system...)
It seemed like listening to the lessons on the subway could work out. It's sort of lost time for me anyway, since I have a lot of walking, not quite enough time to do real reading or even really enjoy a GameBoy game. But, I am probably shortchanging this stuff by not really being able to work on my pronunciation out loud! I felt a little awkward even just mouthing the words along. I don't want to be one of those crazy people on the subway...
Have you ever used a language learning system, and did you like it?
