Berlitz Rush Hour Italian: A Course for People on the Go! (Berlitz Rush Hour All-Audio)

Rating:
Summary: Good beginner material
Review: I enjoyed the cassettes very much. THe songs took a little getting used to but if you can remember School House Rock then these catchy tunes will help. The problem I had was trying to hear everything. Sometimes they went too fast, especially near the end. You needed to consult the book (a word by word script of the tapes). I found myself singing songs long after I had stopped driving.

Summary: Sing-Song-y Tape May Not Appeal to All
Review: I had never used a Berlitz tape to learn a language before, but the company has such a great reputation that I bought these audio cassettes on the strength of that. I was very disappointed; not in the content itself, but the presentation. This is more for kids than adults driving to work during rush hour. It's very sing-song-y and annoying and moves a bit too fast.
