A few posts back I interviewed the founder of the terrific Earworms musical brain training CDs (don’t forget you can buy these with 25% ‘bitesized’ discount voucher).  Another great product range for anyone learning a language, is the Cideb ‘Black Cat’ range.

Cideb are well known in the language industry as publishers of beautifully designed, innovative and dynamic teaching materials.  I own at least 5 of their book-and-CD range for learning French (“Lire et s’entrainer”) and learning Italian (“Imparare leggendo”) and I can say they’re extremely useful to own, and ideal if you want quality language learning materials for self-study and exposure.

I was thrilled to see them exhibiting at The Language Show, Earl’s Court, and took the opportunity to interview their international sales & marketing director, Daniele Vecchiotti.

Cideb have a very wide range of products and they’re nicely graded by level and colour coded to help you pick the level that’s right for you. I can recommend these in particular:

French, Level A1 (beginner)

French, Level A2 (lower intermediate)

French, Level B1 (upper intermediate)

Italian, Level A1 (beginner)

That’s it for the Language Show Interview series.  I’ll do a series round up post next to summarise all the great stuff I came across whilst there.

If you have enjoyed this series and would like to see more video or audio interviews, do write or comment with your suggestions.
