Here is the link for the Michel Thomas. 

Michel Thomas: Italian by Hachette UK (BP)

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/michel-thomas-italian/id527886821?mt=8



Also, I  came across a language program I used years ago. Link Word Languages. 
I loved this program! It made it such fun, and at the time, it was fully 
accessible. I was using a disk on a windows machine. From their website...



An example of how your course simplifies learning words:

Picture the image in your mind’s eye as vividly as you can for 10 seconds:

The Italian for FROG is RANA

Imagine you RAN A mile after seeing a scary FROG

They also have apps for iOs. I have no idea about the accessibility now. 



Happy learning,

Traci
