About this listen
Are you trying to learn Italian, but can’t find the right reading material? Do you find traditional textbooks boring and need something new?
Italian students regularly have to go through the toughest experiences to find proper material that isn’t too tough or too tedious for them - as language teachers, we know this.
This is why we’ve created Italian Short Stories for Beginners: Volume 2 to ensure that young and old students at the entry level of learning can have yet another chance to polish their Italian tongue and survive to tell the tale!
Twenty easy-to-listen-to, entertaining, and interesting stories await inside, along with the best tools to help you practice once you’re done listening to each tale. Our book will ensure you not only can listen to something that will expand your knowledge on Italian, but that you will understand and be able to pick it apart piece by piece in your quest for learning.
How Italian Short Stories for Beginners: Volume 2 works:
- Each story will contain an important lesson of the tools in the Italian language (nouns, pronouns, future tense, traveling terms, and more), involving an interesting and entertaining story with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations.
- The summaries follow a synopsis in Italian and in English of what you just listened to, both to review the lesson and for you to see if you understood what the tale was about.
- At the end of those summaries, you’ll be provided with a list of the most relevant vocabulary involved in the lesson, as well as slang and sayings that you may not have understood at first glance!
- Finally, you’ll be provided with a set of tricky questions in Italian, providing you with the chance to prove that you learned something in the story. Don’t worry if you don’t know the answer to any - we will provide them immediately after, but no cheating!
Do you think you can handle it? If the answer is yes, then you’re definitely on your way to becoming a fluent Italian speaker, and we’ll certainly make that dream come true!
So, look no further! Buy Italian Short Stories for Beginners: Volume 2 and start learning Italian right now!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What is the hardest challenge you’ve faced as a student of the French language? You can work hard on your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but being able to communicate naturally isn’t easy. In fact, the toughest part of learning French is knowing how to speak like a native. Most textbooks are made to teach you the traditional rules and structures of a language and are great for getting around the grammar and spelling questions you may have.

Do you know what the hardest thing for a German learner is? Finding proper reading material that they can handle…which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book! Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it’s not entertaining, useful or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!
