Thanks for the fast response. I have a Berlitz language CD that corresponds to part of the reading material. I have listened to that in a dedicated way and by playing in the background in the car.

I have also tried it by playing repeatedly during sleep and following on the way that paraliminals work I tried playing it very quietly into my left ear just so that I would become familiar with the sound of the language.

I have no trouble discerning the individual words but if I listen to an Italian radio or television station I do not perceive any activation occuring.

I have PRd the Collins English/Italian and Italian/English dictionary sections (many many times) but find no recognition when I super read or attempt the same with more advanced Berlitz vocabulary books.

Any language learning hints from anyone would be gratefully received.
