Summary

"A Tale of Passion," as its subtitle declares, The Good Soldier relates the complex social and sexual relationships between two couples, one English, one American, and the growing awareness by the American narrator John Dowell of the intrigues and passions behind their orderly Edwardian facade. It is the attitude of Dowell, his puzzlement, uncertainty, and the seemingly haphazard manner of his narration that make the book so powerful and mysterious. Despite its catalogue of death, insanity, and despair, the novel has many comic moments, and has inspired the work of several distinguished writers, including Graham Greene.

    Learn Conversational Italian Vol. 2 is an audio course for beginners or for anyone who struggles with becoming fluent in Italian. The focus of this course is to practice speaking conversational Italian from the very first lesson. Each lesson contains useful everyday phrases related to a specific topic. 
    In these lessons, you’ll be introduced to several “conversation connectors”. Phrases like “as a matter of fact”, “frankly speaking”, “as you already know” and more. By using such phrases, your conversations will have a more natural flow. You will also expand your vocabulary and talk about daily activities, work, plans, and needs. 
    Based on techniques and strategies that make language learners succeed: 
    Learn in short bursts every day. Each lesson takes about 10 minutes to complete. 
    Learn in context. Isolated words or random sentences won’t get you far. By learning phrases related to a specific topic or situation you will see much better results. 
    Focus on high-frequency words. Starting with the most frequently used words will boost your comprehension and communication in your target language. 
    Review the material. Repeating the phrases at certain specified intervals is a powerful technique to help your memory absorb and recall what you have learned. 
    Listen to native speakers. All the phrases are translated and spoken by native speakers.
