On a frigid April night in 1912, the world’s largest—and soon most famous—ocean liner struck an iceberg and slipped beneath the waves. She had scarcely disappeared before her new journey began, a seemingly limitless odyssey through the world’s fixation with her every tragic detail.

In the 19th century, American meals were about subsistence, not enjoyment. But as a new century approached, appetites broadened, and David Fairchild, a young botanist with an insatiable lust to explore and experience the world, set out in search of foods that would enrich the American farmer and enchant the American eater.

Most audiobook training programs that teach Italian make things either too long, complex, or obscure to be useful for you to master the language. Simplicity is key. In fact, research and studies have shown that the average Italian speaker only uses 500 to 1,000 words in total in their daily conversations. By focusing on the most frequently used words, you will become proficient and fluent much quicker, with less time and effort. And that is what we created this audio training for.

It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner, have no experience, or have tried every other Italian learning program out there without success; this audiobook learning program will finally get you on the fast track to mastering the Italian vocabulary in no time!

She specialized in workplace safety years before the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was created. But this time, she was up against a formidable new foe: America’s relentless push for progress, regardless of the cost.
