  <default_description>Acclaimed linguist Dr. Robert Blair offers a one-of-a-kind, proven effective systematic learning process that takes advantage of recent innovations to teach Italian to English-speaking listeners and English to Spanish-speaking listeners faster than ever before. Most language-learning methods have not changed much in the past 50 years, offering the same old 'listen-and-repeat' methods dressed up to look new. Dr. Blair's breakthrough method uses the best language teaching strategies from around the world, mixing up a variety of approaches and activities to accelerate learning exponentially-for all types of learners. In these entertaining presentation, listeners are guided to imagine themselves as undercover spies in a secret location who must learn enough Italian and English to pass themselves off as a native speaker.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this was quite good, and a departure for Mrs. Kellerman.
