This podcast is the best for learning Italian. Each episode is less than 15 minutes long (most are under 10 minutes long) so it doesn't take long to learn. It's updated every few days, so you don't have to wait long for a new podcast. This podcast focuses a lot on the vocabulary and correct pronunciation to be sure you're saying it right. The vocabulary is useful- if you went to Italy, you're bound to use these words. Plus, the words are given in small easy doses. Overall, this is a smart, interesting, and convenient podcast and I recommend it to anybody who wants to learn Italian. Like Jane says, "10 minutes a day can make the difference." And it's true.
This is the most effective language tool I have ever used. It is easy because there is quite a bit of repetition and emphasis put on pronunciation. Quality of speaking vs. quantity of vocabulary. You aren't learning a lot of vocab words that you are going to forget in an hour.
This podcast is educational and fun at the same time. What I really like is the way the lessons are organized: simple and short dialogs that you can practice repeating the words over and over, with enough grammar to understand how the Italian language works - a very effective way to learn!
