Like better than Babel

Revisado: 07-04-24

The biggest hurdle for me is being able to respond in Italian. This course gives it to you in English and you answer in Italian which, in my opinion, does more to train you to think in Italian rather than translating in your mind. That is the dreaded freeze while you're trying to answer. However, they speak a normal fast Italian and without pausing and downright slowing the speed when you need to it can get really frustrating. I tried Babel first and I like this better. Babel is a memory game and really not a bad second language tool but cannot be used in the car or while exercising, etc. Pimsleur provides no visuals whatsoever which I find a bit of drawback as it would be nice to see some of the dialogue and that's where Babel has the advantage. I like the printed conversation drill in Babel and also being able - once again - to listen to fast talking Italians but able to read along while they do.

Excellent

Revisado: 06-12-22

This is a perfect book for beginner and expert alike. Enough information to know who and most important WHAT Henry Clay was. The period reminded me of today with extremes ruling each party with those in the center hoping to keep the country united. We could use Henry Clay today.

Excellent intro or review for any level.

Berger's narration was engaging and kept my interest. His ability to break down, explain and question enhanced the subject matter.

A necessity in the study of our Constitution.

Revisado: 09-04-20

While we may know Madison as the father (one of) the Constitution, Marshal raised it out of infancy. Impressed by his balance and discipline yet disappointed on his view of slavery. This book is essential. This is one you'll study.

Text book style review.

Revisado: 08-26-20

This is a sentence by sentence review which I believe is helpful for anyone really wanting to learn about the Constution. Narrator does his best but I found the reading of Roman numerals off putting (just me). Eye, then eye,eye...then eye,eye,eye. Then eye vee, then vee, etc. Weird?

Loved it

this is a great book for beginners and a good review for people studying the court. I really enjoyed the chapters on the decision process among the justices.

Read this if you know nothing about Polk

Revisado: 10-30-19

I have spent most of my time reading about the founding, the Founders, etc and recently ventured out of that category. Saw this title and figured why not learn about a period through the biography of a president I am not familiar with. This period is eye opening both because it completes our expansion but also sets the stage for the worst period in US History.

Aims High

Revisado: 10-21-19

you will certainly come to know OWH the man as well as the Justice but I don't think anyone will ever be able to Define him using today's political Spectrum. this book brings you closer understanding but I found myself looking up the cases described as sometimes I had a hard time following the reasoning behind some of the conclusions spelled out by the author. that's not to take anything away from this author who took a very difficult task. definitely not for the Casual reader but definitely worth the challenge

Excellent narration. Extremely informative.

Guelzo could read the phone book out loud and make it sound interesting. Anyone wanting a primer on US History should listen to this. I found myself listening to chapters multiple times and came out feeling expert on the subject.
