Introduction

Benvenuti! Welcome, to those of you who have completed the Michel
Thomas Italian courses and Language Builder and to those of you who
are about to experience a uniquely exciting way to learn and improve your
Italian!
My name is Rose Lee Hayden, and I had the distinct privilege of working
closely with Michel Thomas for several decades, in particular, teaching what
he referred to as his ‘second phase’ language courses. This ‘second phase’
built upon the structural knowledge of the language that Michel Thomas so
brilliantly provided in his foundation courses. As Michel Thomas himself
often said, ‘I built the house, but it is up to you to decorate it!’
And decorate it we shall in this Michel Thomas Method: Italian
Vocabulary Course that reinforces and expands on what you have already
learned having completed the Michel Thomas Italian courses. And for
those of you who have not done these courses, I urge you to do so. You
will be surprised at how painlessly they will teach or reinforce your Italian
and will introduce you to a unique method of language learning.
At the outset, let me stress what this course does not attempt to do and
how it may differ a little from your previous experiences with the Michel
Thomas Italian courses. First, this course does not and cannot re-teach
the original courses, but rather builds directly on them. Therefore, you may
wish to review and keep reviewing your Michel Thomas Italian courses
and Language Builder to re-familiarize yourself with structural items and
basic vocabulary previously introduced by Michel Thomas.
Second, it is important to state that learning vocabulary is not the same as
learning structure, even though this course teaches vocabulary the Michel
Thomas way. You may find it helpful to review course content more
frequently. But let me reassure you that this more frequent review is no
reflection on your ability, but rather relates to the fact that you have moved
on to another level of instruction with vocabulary acquisition as its basic
