Tell Me More Italian 4.0 Ages 11

Summary: No way to learn a foreign language
Review: I am extremely disappointed with this product. It may be useful for someone who has a working knowledge of Italian, but for a beginner, it is useless. It does not allow you to start with the basics and progress to more detailed lessons; the first videos and dialogues are way too complex for a beginner. Also, the program should allow you to set up a profile for each family member so everyone can move through a lesson plan at their own pace; it doesn't.

Summary: Programma magnifico
Review: I have wanted to master Italian for years but never quite had the time or the right program. If you have a PC, this is the program for you! The creators have made learning fun and very inter-active. You learn through a variety of activities so nothing gets boring. And there is a sense of humor running throughout. The only possible weak spot is in the grammar section which is good but very basic. However, if you want to learn without knowing the why of some point of grammar then this weakness is not too important or you can get a grammar book as a suppliment which I did but only because that's how my mind works. Most teach yourself methods don't help you learn how to say the words, this one is very strong on that. You can repeat the pronounciation of a word, phrase or entire sentence until you can say it as well as the native speaker with the click of your mouse. I have already been in an Internet chat room IN ITALIAN after only two months of study. Okay, it was pretty baic stuff but still we were chatting in Italian. Ciao a tutti. E buona fortuna!
